Apple Cider Vinegar Is the Wonder Serum That Can Do Way More Than You Realized

Winchell said that fire cider is her go-to when she feels like she's getting sick. Although there are multiple variations out there, she suggested combining one to two tablespoons of raw apple cider vinegar, one clove of fresh crushed garlic, half a thumb of fresh ginger, and a bit of fresh turmeric. If spice isn't a problem for you, Winchell recommended adding a pinch of cayenne to "turn up the heat and increase the antimicrobial properties."

"This blend is strong, so adding a touch of raw honey not only helps tame it down, but raw honey also has its own healing properties that are great for a scratchy throat," she added.

It may not be a total miracle remedy, but you'll certainly reap the benefits if you add ACV to your diet.
