Apple cider vinegar has been used as a folk remedy for centuries. It is believed to help treat conditions varying from asthma to depression, but it is perhaps most famous as a cure for bloating. For best results, use quality vinegar with a stringy, filmy material floating in the bottle -- this material, called the mother, is the colony of bacteria that creates the vinegar. As with any supplement, talk to your doctor before adding apple cider vinegar to your diet.
Step 1
Stir 1 to 2 tsp. of apple cider vinegar into 8 oz. of filtered water. Drink the mixture before a large meal to reduce bloating following the meal.
Step 2
Mix 2 to 3 tsp. of apple cider vinegar into 8 oz. of filtered water. Drink the mixture first thing in the morning, before eating, to reduce bloating associated with menstruation.
