it does contain alcohol so you can't drink it, you could apply it topically to skin. if you are thinking of using it for acne its not the wondercure its hyped up to be.

The alcoholic percentage is so low you would need to drink about ten gallons before you got even remotely intoxicated and there is nothing in Sikhism that says you can’t use something which may intoxicate for medicinal purposes (within reason and not to abuse any such substance). When the singhs used to eat bark in the jungles they would use cannabis to digest it. Many talks and sermons available on this. We regular use cider vinegar in my house hold for salad dressing very nice.

This problem can be approached similar to ways in which Lawyers consider legal principles. We must consider whether "no intoxication" should be followed literally, or purposively.

Let me explain.

In the UK there was a law to prevent prostitutes from soliciting on the "streets". (The Soliciting Act). Prostitutes then reacted to this by soliciting to passer by's via a large window from inside a building....

...The law was faced with a problem. Follow the ACT literally,,, which would have meant that the prostitutes weren't committing an offence because they weren't soliciting on the "street"... OR look at the purpose of the Act and what it was trying to prevent. It was clear that the law wanted to prevent the prostitution field. In this particular case the purposive approach was followed.

Similarly the rehat states that "no intoxication". If followed literally, this will mean apple cider is forbidden. But if followed pusposively; it is clear that the rehat is in place so to prevent sikh's from losing control of their consciousness, and thus taking cider, particularly for a medical condition, will be deemed to appear ok.

In law the judge has two choices.. literal approach, or purposive approach.

As do you. This is surely a way for you to show your commitment to sikhi and the rehat.

fateh!

interesting analysis. however, the rahit says no alcohol whatsoever. using a purposive analysis even alcohol taken for health, such as a glass of wine a day, would be banned.

the question here is quite different though, the amount of alcohol in apple cider vinegar is very different from the amount in wine.

There is alcohol (ethanol) in your own body already while your body digests. Apple Cider Vinegar is impossible to get even remotely intoxicated. Your body probably produces more during digestion by bacteria.

to be a sikh is not to be a fanatic...

Medicines have alcohol in them...but think about it...god made them this way...if you're about to die and the medicine to be taken has 0.9% out of 100% alcohol in it...you wouldn't say "oh no nurse, I don't drink alcohol...."...she'll just stare at you...

She'll ask you "where is the alcohol?"...so pleaseeeee don't be a fanatic...God made those medicines for us...to get better...there is no other magic...

hm... theres naam ras. :1singh1:

but carry on. :D

Maybe because of the Naam you recited god will give you the medicine to get better...

Consider this:

There was a man once...he was a firm believer...Once he fell off his boat and was drowning...So this man on a boat came to help him...He told the man to go away because he believed that god himself will come to help him...so that man left...

3 more people tried to help that man but he told them off...saying god will come to help him...

eventually the guy died...and when he met god...he asked god "why didn't you come to help me god...I was waiting for you.."

God replied "What do you think those people I sent to help you were doing there you fool"...

Medicines are there to help...consider them at way...don't increase the fanaticism.... :)

      All Gurdware should be like this

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room.

      Self care of hair

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.

      Nidar Singh Nihang X The Ranveer show podcast

      By ipledgeblue · Posted

      Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

      Why are starched turbans hated?

      Author Posted April 24   On 4/21/2025 at 2:43 PM, ipledgeblue said: sirr should not be nanga because keski is usually worn.   Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
