The healing power of honey: From burns to weak bones, raw honey can help
Here are some more ways to utilize the healing power of honey:
BURNS - Apply freely over burns. It cools, removes pain and aids fast healing without scarring. Apart from being a salve and an antibiotic, bacteria simply cannot survive in honey.
BED WETTING - A teaspoon of honey before bed aids water retention and calms fears in children.
INSOMNIA - A dessertspoon of honey in a mug of warm milk aids sleep and works wonders.
HYPERACTIVITY - Replace all use of white sugar with honey. White sugar is highly stimulating with no food qualities. Honey provides the energy without the "spike."
NASAL
CONGESTION - Place a dessertspoon of honey in a basin of water and
inhale fumes after covering your head with a towel over the basin. Very
effective!
FATIGUE
- Dissolve a dessertspoon of honey in warm water or quarter honey
balance of water in a jug and keep in the fridge. Honey is primarily
fructose and glucose, so it's quickly absorbed by the digestive system.
Honey is a unique natural stabilizer: Ancient Greek athletes took honey
for stamina before competing and as a reviver after competition.
FACIAL
DEEP CLEANSER - Mix honey with an equal quantity of oatmeal, and apply
as a face pack. Leave on for half an hour, then wash it off. Great as a
deep cleanser for acne and other unwanted blemishes.
POOR DIGESTION - Mix honey with an equal quantity of apple cider vinegar and dilute to taste with water. This is also wonderful for the joints – and promotes weight loss.
HAIR
CONDITIONER - Mix honey with an equal quantity of olive oil, cover head
with a warm tower for half an hour then shampoo off. Feeds hair and
scalp. Your hair will never look or feel better!
SORE THROATS - Let a teaspoon of honey melt in the back of the mouth and trickle down the throat. Eases inflamed raw tissues.
FOR STRESS - Honey in water is a stabilizer, calming highs and raising lows. Use approximately 25 percent honey to water.
ANEMIA - Honey is the best blood enricher by raising corpuscle content. The darker the honey, the more minerals it contains.
FOOD
PRESERVATIVE – If you replace the sugar in cake and cookie recipes with
honey, they'll stay fresher longer due to honey's natural antibacterial
properties. Reduce liquids in the mixture by about one-fifth to allow
for the moisture present in the in honey.
OSTEOPOROSIS – Research has shown that a teaspoon of honey per day aids calcium utilization and prevents osteoporosis – probably not a bad idea for anyone over 50.
LONGEVITY
- The most long-lived people in the world are all regular users of
honey. An interesting fact, yet to be explained, is that beekeepers
suffer less from cancer and arthritis than any other occupational group
worldwide.
MIGRAINE
- Use a dessert spoon of honey dissolved in half a glass of warm water.
Sip at the start of a migraine attack, and, if necessary, repeat after
another 20 minutes.
CONJUNCTIVITIS - Dissolve honey in an equal quantity of warm water. When cooled, apply as a lotion or eye bath.
COUGH
MIXTURE – Combine 6 ounces (170 grams) liquid honey, 2 ounces (55
grams) glycerin and the juice of two lemons. Mix well. Bottle and cork
firmly, and use as required.
Raw
honey may become granulated, as some does after a week and another
maybe only after several years. If the granulations bother you, simply
place the honey into a pan of hot water (not boiling) and let it stand
until becoming liquid again.
