Answers:
First to qualify that it is best to use organic cider vinegar when taking it for health reasons.
Apple cider vinegar (ACV) has many health benefits to offer. It helps eliminate harmful acid crystals that build up in joints, so it reduces arthritic symptoms (stiff joints).
It reportedly helps with acid reflux, which may sound contradictory since vinegar is acidic. Truth is reflux is often a response to insufficient hydrochloric acid in the stomach. ACV aides the stomach by improving the pH to its optimal level, thus reducing reflux.
It is also helpful for many skin conditions...acne, warts, dandruff.
It is safe to consume or to use topically. Typical (oral)dose is 1-2 teaspoons ACV in 8 oz. warm water. You can sweeten with 1-2 teaspoons raw honey, 100% maple syrup or blackstrap molasses.Health Question & Answer

Yes, it is safe.
