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.... :)

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
