Facts and information on RAW HONEY

In Ayurvedic medicine (which originated from the Veda in Hindu culture), it is considered very bad to heat honey, this ancient medicine also considers this heated honey to be toxic to the human body in the form of Ama. However, Traditional Chinese Medicine gives heated honey other medicinal values. Raw or heated honey can treat dry conditions as well because honey has all three neutral/hot/cold properties.

Heated honey should not be used by people with copious amounts of mucus.

Raw, completely unprocessed, unheated honey is preferable; it has the ability to dry up mucus and is helpful for those with damp conditions including edema and too much weight.

Honey has so many other valuable properties such as it can relieve constipation, blood pressure, stomach ulcers, it works naturally to harmonize the liver, neutralize toxins, relieves pain, helps with sleep disorders, allergies, and it can even be applied to burns.

There are so many benefits to using RAW HONEY. Take some time and do some looking on the internet. You will thank yourself for the time well spent.

Cinnamon and Honey

Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or rot. It will do what some call turning to sugar. In reality honey is always honey. However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will do what I rather call "crystallizing".   When this happens I loosen the lid, boil some water, and sit the honey container in the hot water, turn off the heat and let it liquefy. It is then as good as it ever was. Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. To do so will kill the enzymes in the honey.

Cinnamon and Honey

Bet the drug companies won't like this one getting around.  Facts on Honey and Cinnamon:  It is found that a mixture of honey and Cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a 'Ram Ban' (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases.  Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of diseases.

Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients.   Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada , in its issue dated 17 January,1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon as researched by western scientists:

HEART DISEASES:

Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, instead of jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack.  Also, those who have already had an attack, if they do this process daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack.. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat.  In America and Canada , various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as you age, the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and veins.

ARTHRITIS:

Arthritis patients may take daily, morning and night, one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured.

According to information received in the said Journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.
