After this years American Apitherapy Society meeting I was thinking about an article i read about Honey and Cinnamon I received an article from a friend that was written January 17, 1995. Below are some uses of honey and cinnamon... the "Honey and Cinnamon" book.
Honey and Cinnamon can be used to treat:
1. Heart Disease - a honey and cinnamon paste can be used on bread instead of jelly. It reduces cholesterol. Regular use of the above relieves shortness of breath (dyspnea).
2. Arthritis - use one cup of hot water with 2 teaspons of honey and one tsp of cinnamon powder to relieve chronic arthritis. A small study of 200 patients who did the above revealed that 73 individuals felt no arthritic pain after 10 days.
3. Bladder Infections - ingest 2 tablespoons of cinnamon powder with 1 teaspoon of honey to kill bacteria in the bladder.
4. Stomach Aches - honey with cinnamon powders cures a belly ache.
5. Colds/Flu - I have used this remedy. One tablespoon of lukewarm honey (remember not boiled), 1/4 spoon of cinnamon powder daily for three days will cure the common cold. Great for sinuses- although I always add stinging nettles.
6. Acne - mix 3 tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder into a paste. Apply to acne before sleeping and wash off next morning. Remarkable.
7. Skin infections such as eczema ( as well as wound healing ) - use equal parts of honey and cinnamon applied to skin.
I know that since 1995 there have been more scientific studies on honey and cinnamon. I have used both to treat illnesses with success. I pride myself in using Mother Nature's gifts to heal. It goes back to the basics...I love going back to the basics.
Until tomorrow…
