For years, I struggled with intense leg cramps—the kind that would stop me in my tracks, leaving me clutching my calf in pain. I tried everything: hot baths, muscle creams, ibuprofen, drinking more water, electrolytes, even adding sea salt to my water—but nothing worked.
Then, someone recommended a simple, natural drink: apple cider vinegar, honey, and hot water. I am not a big fan of the taste of honey, but the pain was unbearable, so I tried it.
To my surprise, the cramps disappeared almost instantly—and when I drank it before bed, I experienced deep, uninterrupted sleep. Intrigued, I researched this remedy and discovered it is an ancient elixir used for centuries to treat everything from gout to colds.
