Yes, it is hard to swallow...

Apple Cider Vinegar.  If you google it you will find that those who like home remedies believe that it cures many things.  On the other hand, medical research does not support many of the claims.  I know, the mere sound of it makes your nose close up and your stomach turn.  I do, however, keep a bottle handy!
If I need to take medicine - I do.  But if I can remedy the problem with something, let's say a bit more natural, then I will!
Some of the benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar are:

• Reduce sinus infections and sore throats
• Balance high cholesterol
• Cure skin conditions such as acne
• Protect against food poisoning
• Fight allergies in both humans and animals
• Prevent muscle fatigue after exercise
• Strengthen the immune system
• Increase stamina
• Increase metabolism which promotes weight loss
• Improve digestion and cure constipation
• Alleviate symptoms of arthritis and gout
• Prevents bladder stones and urinary tract infections

I also like it for acid reflux.  On a normal day I mix a couple of tablespoons in a about a gulp of water - sometimes I just take it straight.  I figure I might as well get it over with.  Especially after a hard weight training session.

I like Braggs Raw-Unfiltered.  You can pick it up at your local Nature Market or grocery.
