Apple cider vinegar is widely used in beverages, salad dressings, and pickled foods, and it can even be used to clean the house. Apple cider vinegar is a precious winter health elixir that can aid digestion, help weight loss, activate blood circulation, control blood sugar, and combat bacterial and fungal infections. Herbal medicine educator Erica Kuo provides one effective way you can take apple cider vinegar to help you enjoy a healthy warm winter.

Apple cider vinegar is made from fermenting apple juice and is a traditional natural health supplement. Ms. Kuo said apple cider vinegar can help diabetic patients reduce triglycerides and hyperlipidemia. Apple cider vinegar containing yeast can also help suppress appetite and achieve weight loss and weight control goals.

During the winter months, vinegar, honey, and warming spices and herbs can be used to create an immune-boosting tonic. In the west, this tonic is often called oxymel. Ms. Kuo shares her personal recipe for a spicy apple cider vinegar drink.
