🌿 6. Apple Cider Vinegar (Topical & Household Use)

🧘 7. The Body’s Best “Cleanser”: Rest & Hydration
No remedy works without this foundation:
💧 Plenty of water
😴 Adequate sleep
🥗 Whole foods (veggies, fruits, protein)
Your immune system does most of the cleansing—these habits support it.
🚫 What to Avoid
Ingesting essential oils
Using harsh DIY mixtures on broken skin
Skipping medical care for pain, fever, spreading redness, or discharge
Believing any “cleanser” can cure infections alone
🌱 When Natural Support Is Most Appropriate
✔ Minor skin irritations
✔ Oral hygiene & throat comfort
✔ Immune support during cold/flu season
✔ Preventive wellness routines
✨ Final Thoughts
A natural infection cleanser is best understood as support, not a cure. Used wisely, natural remedies like garlic, honey, salt water, ginger, and lemon can help keep your body balanced, clean, and resilient—while modern medicine steps in when needed.
