Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a popular natural remedy known for its ability to aid digestion, balance blood sugar, support weight management, and even boost skin health. But despite its many benefits, using ACV the wrong way can do more harm than good.
Here’s how to use apple cider vinegar correctly — and the 5 big mistakes to avoid to stay safe and get the best results.
✅ The Right Way to Use Apple Cider Vinegar
Always dilute it: Mix 1–2 teaspoons (up to 1 tablespoon) in a large glass of water.
Use it before meals to aid digestion or support blood sugar balance.
Choose raw, unfiltered ACV with “the mother” (the cloudy, beneficial bacteria).
Start slow — especially if you’re new to it.
Use a straw to protect your teeth, and rinse your mouth afterward.
