I've been developing arthritis in my fingers. My mom said she had the same issue in her 20s, and to drink 1 tbsp raw unprocessed apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp raw unprocessed honey, mixed with some orange juice (to cut the taste) (I doubled everything because I'ma big guy). And voila! She said she had to do it for a year straight before it helped, but I've been doing it barely a week and I already feel ~15% better!

Do you all have any stories of unconventional home remedies / alternative medicine?

      My scurvy ass could always use some vitamin C, sometimes i drink straight lemon/lime juice but that's more for shock value

        So try 1l water, 47ml apple cider vinegar, 95ml honey (the recipe is normally made with molasses or even maple syrup but if you need honey then try with honey), and 3g powder ginger. Measure those 3g on a kitchen scale because it's a lot of powder, more than you'd expect. Whisk until it dissolves as much as possible, then let decanting happen, the powder ginger will eventually settle at the bottom. Leave in the fridge and you can drink it like that, or what I do is mix it with just a little bit of ice tea. You could try adding lemon juice in it but I think then you'd need a bit more sugar as well.

        You can also add a little bit of rum, it goes great. Drink in the next few days, it doesn't keep for very long. Tastes better the next day in my opinion when the ginger has properly dissolved too.
