More good news about Honey
Wednesday, December 17th, 2008I recently came across a post outlining some of the benefits of honey when mixed with cinnamon. I found this to be of great interest, as I have been consuming a bit more honey as of late due to it being the cold season.
Whenever I have a sore throat (or one of the girls does) I make a “tea” of the juice of one lemon, 1/2 cup honey and as much boiling water as I can fit into the teapot. I will occasionally add some dried black currants, as they make it taste even better and give it a pretty pink color.
This post, however, outlines some other ways that honey is a great health food. Combined with cinnamon powder and eaten daily seems to be a great cure for many different ailments. This is good news! Especially in these hard economic times. Some examples are:
~ Make a paste of honey and cinnamon – eat it on your toast in the mornings to help with heart disease and lower your cholesterol. I will be sharing this little tidbit with my husband!
~ Make a paste of honey and cinnamon and put it onto a pimple each night (washing it off in the morning) to extract the rot of the pimple.
~ 2 Tbsp. cinnamon and 1 tsp honey in a glass of lukewarm water will help remove infection from the bladder.
These are just a few of the great tips that are over at About Food 2 on the use of honey and cinnamon. Check it out!
