I try whenever possible to use natural and safe healthy methods instead of modern-day synthetic drugs to handle illness. Not to say we never go to the dr. but luckily we rarely ever have to. I’m a big believer in preventative when possible. I was very interested a while ago when I learned honey is the ONLY food that does NOT spoil. How interesting. Now add cinnamon. At least it’s a tasty remedy, sure doesn’t hurt to try it!!

In addition, I have heard for allergies, using local honey can help. Apparently your body can get used to the local pollens and then have less of a reaction in springtime.

This site here: http://www3.telus.net/public/a7a55952/helpful-hints.htm had some great stuff. A lot of it I was familiar with, but there was a section on honey and cinnamon that was great. I don’t know if it works but I’m willing to give it a go! I think it sounds like a delicious way to be healthier. If anyone knows more, or has tried any of this, I would love to hear.
