Cinnamon and honey are two of nature’s most powerful and versatile foods, often regarded as miracle remedies for various health issues. When combined, they offer a natural solution for several common ailments.
Health Benefits of Cinnamon and Honey
Common Cold
Cinnamon and honey are known for their strong antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antibacterial properties, which make them effective in treating colds and flu. Honey helps suppress coughing, alleviates flu symptoms, and boosts the immune system.
To soothe cold symptoms, prepare a hot drink with honey and cinnamon and sip it throughout the day. Both ingredients also support the management of diabetes, as moderate honey consumption does not significantly raise blood sugar levels.
For a simple remedy, mix a teaspoon of raw honey and a teaspoon of cinnamon in a cup of warm water.
Clogged Arteries
A 2010 study published in the Journal of Diabetes Technology Society found that cinnamon essential oil reduced harmful triglycerides in the blood by 30%, as well as LDL (“bad”) cholesterol by 27%. High LDL cholesterol is one of the main contributors to cardiovascular diseases.
Arthritis Relief
Patients with arthritis may benefit from a daily drink made with two tablespoons of honey and a teaspoon of cinnamon powder in warm water. According to Buzz Ghana, a study at the University of Copenhagen revealed that when patients were given this mixture, 73 out of 200 individuals experienced complete relief from pain within a week. Within a month, many patients who could not walk or move due to arthritis were able to walk without pain.
Allergy Relief
Raw honey has immune-boosting properties that help alleviate allergy symptoms. Dust mites, a leading cause of household allergies, can be combated using cinnamon. Cinnamon bark and leaf oils have been found to be more effective at killing dust mites than conventional chemical solutions like benzyl benzoate. Simply mix cinnamon oil with distilled water in a spray bottle and apply it to curtains, mattresses, and bedding.
