Here comes HONEY ... God's perfect food ... it does not spoil and has so many benefits both internally and externally. Add to that another of God's gifts ... Cinnamon. Here comes the big news concerning MY diabetes ... cinnamon and honey have helped me to have normal morning blood sugars for over a week now. I have not really changed my diet at all. I've put about a tablespoon of honey and a teaspoon of cinnamon over some granola and home-made yogurt for breakfast ... that is the difference. I will let you know how it goes later in the spring after my 3 month blood glucose test results come in.
This combo of Honey and Cinnamon are good for a LOT of things that I have not explored but here is a list of a few of them... let me know how it works for you. I'm hopeful that the DH's gas problems will be helped. LOL! I might even start losing that extra 40 pounds that just won't go away.
Honey is an A-to-Z healing phenomenon. Honey can help heal everything
from arthritis to weight gain, and dozens of health issues in between. Here’s a
list of ailments that honey can help cure, and how to use its healing
qualities.
Arthritis
Honey can help arthritis, a painful and often debilitating inflammation
of the joints, in two ways:
- Mix one part honey with two parts warm water to form a paste, then add a teaspoon of cinnamon powder. Massage onto joints to relieve pain in minutes.
- Every morning and night, drink a cup of hot water with two spoonfuls of honey and one spoonful of cinnamon powder. Some people swear by this as a surefire pain reliever.
Bad Breath
To keep breath fresh naturally, gargle with a homemade mouthwash of one
teaspoon each of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water.
Bladder Infections
If it hurts when you urinate, your bladder may be infected. Try two
tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm
water. This will attack the germs in the bladder and help heal the
infection.
Cancer
Some claim that advanced, aggressive cancer of the stomach and bones
can be helped by a mixture of one tablespoon of honey and one teaspoon of
cinnamon powder taken three times a day for three months.
(High) Cholesterol
This condition is dangerous and difficult to treat, but drinking a cup
of two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of cinnamon powder mixed in 16
ounces of tea water, three times a day, may help.
Colds
There’s no cure for the common cold, but honey can help heal. To treat
clogged sinuses and relieve cold symptoms, take one tablespoon lukewarm honey
mixed with one-quarter teaspoon cinnamon powder daily for three days. Steep tea
with honey and breathe in the honey-infused steam. Spread honey on your chest
to soothe congestion. And to cure a nagging cough, take one teaspoon of honey
mixed with one teaspoon of brandy or cognac.
Hair Loss
To prevent your hair from falling out, massage your scalp and hair with
a paste of warm olive oil, one tablespoon of honey, and one teaspoon of
cinnamon powder. Leave on for 15 minutes, then shampoo lightly and rinse.
Indigestion
A common and often chronic problem, indigestion and acid buildup can be
soothed by taking two tablespoons of honey sprinkled with cinnamon powder
before eating.
Infertility
Some men swear that two tablespoons of honey before bed cures
impotence. And women who have difficulty conceiving often rub a pinch of
cinnamon powder in half a teaspoon of honey onto their gums at frequent
intervals throughout the day.
Skin Issues
Equal parts of honey and cinnamon powder can help cure eczema,
ringworm, and all types of skin infections. Plus, honey baths keep skin smooth
and moist.
Acne
Can’t beat the blemishes? Apply a paste of three tablespoons honey and
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder to the aggravated area before bed. Wash off in the
morning.
Toothache
To stop a toothache in its tracks, apply a paste of one teaspoon of
cinnamon powder and five teaspoons of honey three times daily to the affected
tooth.
Upset Stomach, Gas, and Bloating
Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and stomach ulcers,
and purges excess gas from your system.
Weight Loss
To expedite your weight loss program, drink a glass of honey and
cinnamon powder in hot water in the morning a half hour before eating and at
night before bed. If taken regularly, this drink should help you lose weight,
as it will prevent fat accumulating in the body.
According to some, honey helps heal everything that ails you from head
to toe!
