Cinnamon and Honey ~ Useful Tips ~ shared by Carol Corcoran

Thought this was very interesting, and maybe we ought to try it.

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, 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.

kinds of diseases.

tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast,

practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain, and within a
