HONEY & CINNAMON

Our ancestors for many centuries recognized the healing properties of honey and cinnamon.  Today, western scientists affirm that honey and cinnamon can cure many diseases.  In fact, honey does NOT harm diabetic patients when taken in the correct dosage.

Ayurveda, India’s 5,000 year old science of Life recognizes the healing value of both honey and cinnamon. Instead of banning honey or cinnamon completely for specific physical structure, they recommend adjusted quantities for ailments pertaining to VATA, PITTA, or KAPHA.  Ayurvedic specialists state:

HONEY
Indians and Egyptians utilize honey for a variety of conditions.  One way for promoting healing is applying a poultice directly to wounds.  Being a volatile sweet in the presence of heat, it breaka down when used externally. It is best, therefore, to use honey cool or at room temperature.  When the honey is young--less than six months old--it is healing to the PITTA constitution. Kapha people consume honey best. Vatas benefit from occasional use as its dryness aggravates the Vata energy when over used.

 CINNAMON
Cinnamon warms and sweetens and is an effective digestive aid. Cinnamon is valuable for all three energy constitutions. Just as honey does, cinnamon also has warming properties. Therefore, PITTA constitutions use Cinnamon occasionally.
