For thousands of years, vinegar has held distinction as a medicinal, culinary and household aid. In 400 ÂÑ, Hippocrates recommended drinking a vinegar solution to reduce symptoms of the common cold. “Thieves’ vinegar” is reputed to date from the 14th century, when thieves would wash with vinegar to protect themselves from the Plague when robbing the homes of helpless sufferers. In America, vinegar has been used since the time of the Revolutionary War to clean wounds.
More recently, vinegar is making a comeback as a medical treatment and a gourmet culinary specialty. Proponents tout vinegar as a cure for all types of ailments, including life-threatening conditions, such as cancer, high blood pressure, kidney disease and asthma. Although these claims are false, vinegar is, in fact, a very useful natural medicine.
