Antimicrobial Effects
Apple cider vinegar has been used for years in various folk remedies for its antifungal and antibacterial properties. A 2018 study in the United States found that both mildly diluted and undiluted apple cider vinegar prevented the growth of candida in a small sample of candida culture.2Yagnik, Darshna, et al. ‘Antimicrobial Activity of Apple Cider Vinegar against Escherichia Coli, Staphylococcus Aureus and Candida Albicans; Downregulating Cytokine and Microbial Protein Expression.’ Scientific Reports, Nature Publishing Group UK, 29 Jan. 2018, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5788933/
Another study found significant potential benefits for remedying yeast infections, and some people swear it works as a natural deodorant. However, more research is required to verify these benefits.
