The healing power of Cider vinegar and Honey for relieving Arthritis

Mixing a tablespoon of honey and a tablespoon of cider vinegar in warm water and drinking it as tonic for arthritis might seem like folly to some people, and yet common practice to others. This folk medicine has been used and passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years.

To further explore the healing properties of these two household ingredients we must first understand that our bodies have a natural Ph balance that can be upset by the foods we eat. Surprisingly the Ph level of food prior to digestion has nothing to do with the Ph level of the residue that it leaves behind in our stomachs after digestion; for example lemons are extremely acidic and yet they form an alkaline residue in the stomach, likewise meat is alkaline but is very acid forming for the body.
