家庭里醋的14种妙用(下)

If you or someone you care about has a nasty fall, you can speed healing and prevent black-and-blue marks by soaking a piece of cotton gauze in white or apple cider vinegar and leaving it on the injured area for one hour

消除擦伤
如果你或者你关心的人严重跌倒，用浸透白醋或者棉纱敷于受伤的地方一小时，可以快速治愈，防止淤青。

Soothe a sore throat
Here are three ways that you can make a sore throat feel better:

* If your throat is left raw by a bad cough, or even a speaking or singing engagement, you'll find fast relief by gargling with 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar and 1 teaspoon salt dissolved in a glass of warm water; use several times a day if needed.

* For sore throats associated with a cold or flu, combine 1/4 cup cider vinegar and 1/4 cup honey and take 1 tablespoon every four hours.

* To soothe both a cough and a sore throat, mix 1/2 cup vinegar, 1/2 cup water, 4 teaspoons honey, and 1 teaspoon hot sauce. Swallow 1 tablespoon four or five times daily, including one before bedtime. Warning: Children under one year old should never be given honey.

缓解喉痛

这里讲三种方法可以缓解喉痛地方法：

*如因唱歌，演讲，或者感冒致使喉痛，用溶解了一大汤匙的苹果醋和一茶匙的盐的温水漱口，可以快速缓解疼痛；如需要，一天可多次漱口。

*如喉痛伴随感冒或者流感，可将四分之一杯的苹果醋混合四分之一杯的蜂蜜，每四小时服用一大汤匙。

*为缓解感冒和喉痛，可将二分之一杯的醋，二分之一杯的水，四茶匙的蜂蜜，一茶匙的调味汁调配。每次服用一大汤匙，每天四五次，包括睡前一次。警告：对于一岁以下的儿童，绝不能放蜂蜜。

10.Breathe easier
Adding 1/4 cup white vinegar to the water in your hot-steam vaporizer can help ease congestion caused by a chest cold or sinus infection. It can also be good for your vaporizer: The vinegar will clear away any mineral deposits in the water tubes resulting from the use of hard water. Note: Check with the manufacturer before adding vinegar to a cool-mist vaporizer.

呼吸顺畅
在蒸汽加湿器中，加入四分之一杯的白醋，可以缓解胸腹受凉或者鼻窦感染造成的呼吸堵塞。醋可以消除因长期使用硬水而沉淀在水管里的水垢。注意：加醋前请检查加湿器的构造。
