Honey and Cinnamon

Facts on Honey and Cinnamon

These natural remedies made of Honey and Cinnamon came in an e mail and might interest you.

Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or rot. It will do what some call turning to sugar. In reality some honey is always honey. However when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will do what I call "crystallizing". When this happens I loosin the lid, boil some water, and sit the honey container in the hot water, off of the heat and let it liquefy. It is then as good as it ever was.

Never boil honey or put in a microwave as this kills the healing enzymes of the honey.

Facts on Honey and Cinnamon

It is found that a mixture of honey and cinnamon cures most diseases and it is produced all over the planet by busy bees. Honey doesn't produce any side effects.

A list of conditions and diseases that can be cured or prevented by mixtures of honey and cinnamon. Resource - Weekly World News, January 17, 1995.

  • Heart diseases - Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, instead of jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for breakfast. It is believed to help reduce cholesterol build up in the arteries. This honey and cinnamon powder also relieves loss of breath, strengthens the heart beat, revitalizes naturally worn out veins and arteries.
  • Arthritis - Take twice daily, morning and night, one cup of a mixture of honey and cinnamon. To one cup of hot water add 2 spoons of honey and one small spoon of cinnamon powder. A study at a Coppenhagen University showed that a daily routine like this one has people suffering from chronic pain due to arthritis feeling much better within a week. The study showed that 73 of the 200 people treated were totally releived of pain within one month.
  • Bladder Infection - A daily intake of two tablespoons of cinnamon and one teaspoon of honey added to a glass of lukewarm water will destroy germs in the bladder and reduce the possibility of bladder infection.
  • Cholesterol - Follow the Arthritis suggestion but take three times daily. For cholesterol you may even try just a spoonful of pure honey on a daily basis.
  • Colds - If you want to clear your sinuses, or cure yourself from a chronic cold condition and the cough that comes with it then take 1/4 spoon of cinnamon powder and 1 tablespoon of lukeworm honey three times daily. Add to this a tea made of licoriceRoot and watch as nature heals your cold symptoms.
Similar uses of honey and cinnamon mixtures help relieve or cure

  • gas
  • indigestion
  • influenza
A tea made of honey and cinnamon may slow down the aging process by keeping the skin soft and fresh. This honey cinnamon is a revitalizer and a natural energy drink. A quarter cup three or four times daily is all it takes.

As a powder paste made from 3 tablespoons of honey and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon it removes pimples from the roots. Apply the paste on the pimple before sleep and wash it off in the AM with warm water. Do this daily for two weeks and watch the magic of natural remedies at work.

The same type of honey cinnamon powder paste can be used to cure skin conditions such as eczema and to rid the body of ringworms.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These are only suggestion and should not be used to replace the treatment of suggestions of professionally trained medical experts. But then again no sane medical expert would drug you if there was a more natural way of healing you.

The best of both approaches is the best approach always.
