HONEY EVERYWHERE

In this entry on bees I want to expand a little more on the gift that honey can be to our health.
I had previously listed:

-Antiseptic, antibiotic, anti-fungal and antibacterial -- it never spoils
-A powerful immune system builder.
-Kills many bacteria internally and externally.
-Adds friendly bacteria (especially when mixed into yogurt or milk).
-Cures ulcers in the digestive system.
-Helps with arthritic pain.
-A sore throat remedy.
-Gives a ready and sustained form of energy.
-External application relieves yeast infections and athletes foot.
-Cleans and heals wounds of all kind.
-Brings wonderful healing to burns.

Before I add to this list, I would like to tell you about another of nature's gems called cinnamon.
Here are the medical properties of cinnamon:
-anti-inflammatory
-powerfully antibacterial
-antiviral
-anti fungal
-anticoagulant
-circulatory stimulant
-stomach protector
-anti parasitic
It has been reported for many years that a combination of honey and cinnamon is a very effective medicine for all kinds of diseases. As you can see, the healing properties of honey and cinnamon are quite comparable. Using the two of them mixed together can be powerful. The diseases I have heard reported to have been helped by a mixture of honey and cinnamon are-
Heart disease
Cholesterol
Arthritis
Bladder Infections
Indigestion
Immune system
Colds
Fatigue
Bad breath
Cancer
Diabetes
As far as amounts of each- rule of thumb would be 1 tablespoon of honey to 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. How much you take is optional. The more you need, the more you take. Up to 3 tablespoons each day should not be a problem. Give it a try! Much safer than drugs in the big picture. Be sure to stay on medications while you let the honey and cinnamon work the changes. Just a caution for those of you who might be pregnant. Do not over-do the cinnamon!
Some external helps from honey and the honey cinnamon mixture are:
Pimples and skin infection- spread the mixture on affected area at bedtime.
Hair and scalp treatment-apply honey (with or without olive oil) to dry or damp hair about one half hour before washing- you'll be amazed.
Ultimate moisturizer-smooth amount of honey lightly over the skin and remove a short time later with warm water. Leaves skin baby soft.
Toothache-paste of honey and cinnamon applied on the aching tooth. This may be applied three or more times a day until the tooth stops aching.
Last but not least, I want to share a recipe called Charoset. The "C" is silent when you say it.
This was the dessert served at the Last Supper. Not surprising that honey and cinnamon were two important ingredients in this healing dessert. Here it is:
Chopped apples (leave the skin on)
Chopped dates
Raisins
Walnuts
Honey
Cinnamon
Red wine
Mix the honey, cinnamon and wine together. Put the rest of the ingredients in a bowl and stir in the honey mixture.
The healing synergy created by these ingredients is truly amazing. Be sure to use abundant cinnamon. Amounts of the rest of the ingredients is personal taste, but be sure to include all of them. Eat it abundantly for good health.

Did you know that Bees communicate with each other by "dancing" ?
Maybe we should dance more and talk less.
