Your Lord revealed to the bees: “Build dwellings in the mountains and the trees, and also in the structures which men erect. Then eat from every kind of fruit and travel the paths of your Lord, which have been made easy for you to follow.” From inside them comes a drink of varying colours, containing healing for mankind. There is certainly a Sign in that for people who reflect. (Qur’an, 16:69)
Do you know that honey and cinnamon have good medicinal values? A mixture of honey and cinnamon is a good cure to most diseases.
Honey is produced in most countries of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a ‘Ram Ban’, a very effective medicine for most diseases. Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of diseases. Honey can be taken by diabetic patients, in controlled dosage.
Those suffering from diseases listed below are recommended to consume or apply the mixture of honey and cinnamon:
Heart disease: Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder and apply it on bread. Take it regularly for breakfast. In America and Canada, various nursing homes have treated patients successfully. This is because as we age, the arteries and vein lose their flexibility and get clogged. Honey and cinnamon are able to revitalize the arteries and veins.
Bladder Infection: Mix lukewarm water with two tablespoon of cinnamon powder and a tablespoon of honey and drink up. It can destroy the germs in the bladder.
Cholesterol: Mix two tablespoon of honey and three tablespoon of cinnamon powder in 16oz of tea water. Studies show that this can reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10% within two hours. For arthritic patients, if taken three times a day, any chronic cholesterol problem can be cured. Pure honey can relieve complaints of cholesterol if taken with daily food.
Skin Infection: Applying honey and cinnamon in equal parts on the affected areas cures eczema, ringworm and many types of skin infections.
Colds: Take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with ¼ spoon of cinnamon powder daily for three days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold and clear the sinuses.
Pimples: Apply paste mixed with three tablespoon of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder on pimples before going to bed. Wash it next morning. The root of pimples will be removed if continuously apply this paste for two weeks.
Weight Loss: Daily in the morning, one and the half hour before breakfast on an empty stomach, and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder boiled in a cup of water. If regularly taken, it will reduce the weight because this drink does not allow fats to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie diet.
Bad Breath: By gargling one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water, our breath can stay fresh throughout the day.
