Just started ACVWM… my experience
I went out yesterday and bought Apple Cider Vinegar with Mother
because so many people swear by it for SD. I found it at my local
Wegman’s in the "natural products" isle for only $3.50! Anyway, I
opened it up and it smelled sort of like regular vinegar, but there
was something else… I mixed it 50/50 with some water and applied
it to the red patches on my face. It stung ever so slightly but went
away in a few seconds. THEN the smell hit me. OH MY GOD, it was the
worst foulest smell I’ve ever experienced in my life!! Probably due
to the enzymes or something. When I was little my dad would take his
shoes off after a long day at work, and the entire house smelled
like raunchy stinky feet. Well, I had stinky feet juice on my face.
That’s the only way I can describe it. I tried really hard to leave
it on, but I was gagging the whole time. After 15 mins. I had to
take it off, and would you know, the smell wouldn’t go away! It must
have gotten into my pores or something. So I used pretty smelling
moisturizer in those areas and it diminished it a bit.
So what do I do about the smell? I’m not putting that stuff anywhere
near my skin, especially by my nose! I did, however, mix a
tablespoon of ACVWM with a tablespoon of blackstrap molasses with a
10oz. glass of water this morning when I woke up (it mentioned this
mixture on the bottle for various ailments) and was able to tolerate
that just fine.
Thanks,
Teri
