Honey and Cinnamon Remedy

Honey and Cinnamon Remedy
The combination of honey and cinnamon has been used in
oriental medicine for centuries. Cinnamon is one of the
oldest spices known to mankind and honey's popularity has
continued throughout history. The two ingredients with
unique healing abilities have a long history as a home
remedy. Cinnamon's essential oils and honey's enzyme that
produces hydrogen peroxide qualify the two "anti-microbial"
foods with the ability to help stop the growth of bacteria
as well as fungi. Both are used not just as a beverage
flavoring and medicine, but also as an embalming agent and
are used as alternatives to traditional food preservatives
due to their effective antimicrobial properties. People
have claimed that the mixture is a natural cure for many
diseases and a formula for many health benefits:

1) HEART DISEASES: Apply honey and cinnamon powder on bread
instead of using jam or butter and eat it regularly for
breakfast.

2) ARTHRITIS: Apply a paste made of the two ingredients on
the affected part of the body and massage slowly.

3) HAIR LOSS: Apply a paste of hot olive oil, a tablespoon
of honey, a teaspoon of cinnamon powder before bath, leave
it for 15 min and wash.

4) BLADDER INFECTIONS: Mix cinnamon powder and honey in a
glass of lukewarm water and drink.

5) TOOTHACHE: Apply a paste of cinnamon powder and honey
and on the aching tooth.

6) CHOLESTEROL: Mix cinnamon powder and honey in boiled
water or green tea and drink.

7) COLDS: Make a glass of lukewarm honey water mixed with
cinnamon powder to help boost your immune system during the
cold season. It may also help to clear your sinuses.

8) INDIGESTION: Cinnamon powder sprinkled on a spoonful of
honey taken before food relieves acidity.

9) LONGEVITY: Regularly take tea made with honey and a
little cinnamon powder.

10) PIMPLES: Mix honey with cinnamon powder and apply paste
on the pimples before sleeping and wash away the next
morning.

11) OBESITY: To reduce weight, daily drink a mixture of a
teaspoon of honey with half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder
boiled in water with an empty stomach in the morning about
half an hour before breakfast.

12) BAD BREATH: Gargle with honey and cinnamon powder mixed
in hot water so that breath stays fresh throughout the day.

Honey plus cinnamon together besides being a amazing
potential cure for so many illnesses, their total fragrant,
sweet and warm taste is also a perfect match for the
palate. The combination adds a magic effect to the taste of
cakes, breads, biscuits and rolls and is known to make many
winning recipes in the world of delicious food, such as the
famous, easy-to-make, kids' favourite classic - honey and
cinnamon butter toast!
