I’m getting a bit of flack for recommending apple cider vinegar to my patients but in truth, it’s the best of all-natural treatments available to fight depression. And, it is by far the most affordable. It works with your body and with your mind.
Apple cider vinegar has been used by Native Americans for hundreds of years to keep their skin and hair healthy. Most people have heard about it is known as the “mother” of all home remedies for a variety of ailments. In the case of depression, it is a natural method to treat the symptoms of the condition.
Vinegar is a liquid at room temperature, but it is the acidity that causes the change from liquid to gel. The resulting tartness is what we call vinegar. So vinegar does have the property of bringing about a feeling of well being.
Vinegar, too, contains a very powerful antibacterial agent called acetic acid. This bacterium breaks down the carbohydrates found in foods and is also found in the intestines of many animals. The bile that occurs naturally in the human liver also breaks down the sugars to release glucose, so you can see how vinegar can act as a sweetener. In addition, some reports indicate that it acts as an antihistamine, and that is another way it serves its purpose.
By increasing the sugar levels in the bloodstream and making us feel much happier, apple cider vinegar is a great remedy for depression. The vinegar that you consume as an antidote to depression will draw on the natural healing power of the stomach and the liver. What it won’t do is provide you with instant relief.
Vinegar is highly concentrated. It is a natural deodorizer that you can use both as a cooking ingredient and to neutralize odors. It’s also rich in vitamins and minerals. It helps to eliminate waste, remove toxins and other chemicals from the bloodstream, improve blood circulation, improves mental alertness, and provides immune support.
Don’t be fooled by how effective apple cider vinegar is at fighting depression. At least, not initially. If you are experiencing this problem, you’ll notice that apple cider vinegar doesn’t really help at all.
Depression can not only be chronic but it can also be acute. This means that you might be feeling less than half of what you should be feeling in some cases. The reason is that it is not even clear that one treatment will have any impact on the other types of depression.
However, there are many studies that show that using apple cider vinegar as a depression treatment does improve the symptoms of depression in people who drink it regularly. So there you have it.
There is a myth circulating among doctors that apple cider vinegar can’t help someone who has been depressed for months. Actually, this myth has been disproved in several studies because these patients showed dramatic improvements in their symptoms after being given apple cider vinegar as a treatment.
We’re not telling you that apple cider vinegar is a miracle cure for depression because it isn’t. What we are saying is that it is one of the best natural home remedies available to fight depression. It can make a huge difference in your life, so go out and grab some today.
