Health Benefits of Cinnamon and Honey
Honey is well-known for its everlasting quality, owed to the perfect mixture of acids that doesn’t allow the inhibition of bacteria. The intake of honey itself is quite beneficial to one’s health, while the benign effect is further increased when cinnamon is added to the concoction. The fusion of these two multi-millennial medicines proved to be an irreplaceable cure countless times, praised by both village healers and modern medicine.
The renowned recipe is extremely simple to make: a cup of hot water, a tablespoon of honey and a teaspoon of cinnamon.
Being as affordable as they are, these ingredients have managed to spread throughout the humblest and most luxurious homes of any nation. Consequently, one needs only ask a fellow citizen for the worldwide testimonial that persuades even the greatest skeptics. Word is that honey and cinnamon can cure virtually anything, while this bold claim remains to be officially certified by the ongoing medical research.

There is a great number of uncorroborated allegations when it comes to cheap medicine, so it’s only natural that a potential user will wish to consult with science before opting for the recipe. In that case, there’s a list of diseases and health issues alike that this mixture is undisputedly proved to cure.

Hi Jelena,
I love your article whenever someone talks about health benefits using natural ingredients is awesome. I never thought to use them together. I know they say to use cinnamon to help with sugar detox and to help with diabetes. Now, making that simple mixture with all the benefits that come from it is something I am going to make part of my daily routine. Thanks again Jelena.

Dear Cerol,
there are many ways to consume honey and comet together. In the morning, you can put a spoon of honey on wholemeal bread and sprinkle with cinnamon, or make some candy with both ingredients. I recommend you to try the muffins with a honey and cinnamon. The recipe is HERE
Honey is so good for you. I never tried it before I started with ways to lower my blood sugar. I love cinnamon and that combined with honey has excellent health benefits. It works for inflammation and diabetes. I know that it helps with cholesterol levels and allergies too, Honey is now in with my cinnamon every day. Are there any other health benefits for honey? Is it bad to take too much?
Hello Rob,
I see that you are very familiar with the properties of the medical benefits of honey. You already mentioned the many benefits of using honey. What most people know about is that honey is an excellent remedy during sneezing and coughing, as well as in a number of clinics used organic honey to treat wounds. Less is known to include honey contains flavonoids that help reduce the risk of some sort of cancer and heart disease.
There is no fear of the bad consequence of the excessive intake of honey, except for the number of calories. It is recommended to take 2 to 6 teaspoons of honey daily. Consuming more than 6 teaspoons a day can lead to weight gain. If you really love honey and want to consume a greater quantity, reduce the daily intake of other sugars.
I’ve been using honey for years to combat my hay-fever. I have nasty allergy symptoms year round and so the easiest thing for me to do is to add a spoonful of honey into my cup of coffee every morning. I like to get raw organic honey and I see you like that as well! Side note – Have you seen the new cheerios boxes with Buzz missing from it? #bringbackthebees
Hi Tim,
#bringbackthebees has done an excellent campaign in order to increase awareness about the importance of bees. The fact is that the bees are dying around the world. One consequence of the reduced number of bees is to increase the price of honey, but what is much more important than that is that bees are a very important link in the human diet, because they have an important role in pollinating many of our fruits, nuts, and vegetables. These prime pollinators are responsible for one-third of the food we eat.
Thank you for this comment, you just gave me the idea to write a longer post information on the preservation of the bees and their importance to the planet.
