How is Organic Wood Vinegar Made?

Wood vinegar, as its name implies, is derived from tree wood. Ubame oak trees are heated to 250 degrees Celsius and the smoke from the heat is collected, condensed, and distilled into wood vinegar. It's filtered multiple times to achieve maximum purity and aged for at least six months.[1]

Foul odors can be caused by many things outside and inside your body. Gas, body odor – all can present social anxieties and negatively affect your life. Applying wood vinegar to aromatic areas has been said to help neutralize scents and odors.

7. Remedy for Peptic Ulcers

The acidity in wood vinegar may work with the stomach’s acidity to combat peptic ulcers.
