Valued by traders around the world it eventually found its way into our households in times when grandparents were still young. My Nan used to make me vinegar socks to pull the fever out of me when I had the flu as a child.
It worked wonders and I’m still using it now - only that I hardly get sick these days.

Vinegar A Natural Healer…
Vinegar has long been a favourite for our ancestors who used this valuable commodity to heal and clean. Back in the old days they didn’t waste money on buying expensive abrasive cleaners, instead they used the power iof vinegar to do the job for them….
Just saw this article on BZ and thought I’d stop by and take a look.
Funny, my mom used to put vinegar in our bathwater to take care of chiggers and tics after we played outside.

There you go Don,
Too easy isn’t it.
Vinegar is so good for many uses I have forgotten to count. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
This post made me dig out an old booklet “The Acid Cure or How to be Well”, F.Coutts & Sons, 1951.100 pages.
I found it in an old house sale. I used to have the Coutts bottle of ‘vinegar’ that the book came with but tossed it because the contents looked so bad and the cap was so rusted. It sure looked like a snake oil cure-all but there’s some truth in old remedies.
BTW, like your new style here. Did you know css, or outsource it?
LOL Mike,
Isn’t it funny how we act on certain “inputs” of inspiration? I also own a vinegar book I got given by my Nan many years ago and it is full of great information on how to use vinegar.
As for the new theme, it is the revolution magazine them by Brian Gardner with some changes in coding. I’m very happy with the outcome since it does look a lot more professional. BTW Mike, this theme is a premium one
[...] Vinegar - It’s a natural Healer [...]
[...] Vinegar - It’s a natural Healer [...]
[...] Vinegar - It’s a natural Healer [...]
That Revolution theme is sweet. I was looking at your page source code and it is wild and wacky!
