When consumed, apple cider vinegar reduces the pain and stiffness of arthritis by dissolving the acid crystals that build up in the joints. Once it is processed, apple cider vinegar leaves behind an alkaline residue that helps balance the bodyâs pH.
Others say acid crystals cause joints to become stiff and vinegar dissolves them. Gout is the only form of arthritis that involves crystals â uric acid crystals, formed from an excess of uric acid in the body â and cider vinegar doesnât relieve gout pain. Bottom Line. Apple cider vinegar belongs in your kitchen, not your medicine chest.
