Very informative Neetu... I was not aware of the very helpful uses of Vinegar. :)

You mean, the vinegar that we use for making Chinese dishes???
If so, 170ml of it is available for around Rs.30 in the market. :dry:

Very good.Now we can make it our own and save much. Thanks for information.

If your leafy veggies are wilted, soaking them in cold water with a little vinegar can perk them right up...

and After chopping an onion, you can eliminate the odour from your hands by rubbing them with a bit of white vinegar.

The Kitchen is a magical room where we can find remedies for everything. :) :)

Vinegar Uses for Health
Vinegar health benefits are many. Here are a few of them:

* Vinegar is effective in clearing chest congestion. Add a few spoons of vinegar to a large bowl of water and inhale the vapor. This is a great chest congestion home remedy and it relieves respiratory congestion.
* Taking vinegar steam also relieves sinus infections and chest colds. Check the instructions of the vaporizer for measurements of mixing water with vinegar.
* Be it leg cramps or cramps in any other part of the body, use a compress of full strength vinegar to relieve it.
* Use a hot compress by dipping a towel in hot vinegar and applying it to a muscle strain and sprain. Apply this compress for 20 minutes.
* Vinegar is also effective in relieving headaches. For this, lie down and take a compress made from mixing equal amounts of vinegar and water.
* Make a solution of vinegar by adding 1 part of vinegar to 2 parts of water. Dip your toes in this solution everyday for 15 minutes. This cures toe nail fungus.
* One of the vinegar uses for health is that it soothes sore throat. Add a teaspoon of vinegar to a glass of water. Gargle with this water and then swallow it. Alternately you could also mix 2 tablespoons of honey and 1 teaspoon of vinegar to one cup of hot water. Use this mixture to gargle and then swallow it.
