⚠️ Important Notes
ACV does not cure bone pain, nerve pain, hemorrhoids, anxiety, depression, or rheumatism.
Always dilute ACV—never drink it straight (can damage teeth & stomach).
If you have ulcers, reflux, kidney issues, or are on medication (especially diabetes or diuretics), consult your doctor first.
