Something about honey which should be read carefully.
The Holy QURAN in Surat an-Nahl vr.68-69 says:
“And your Lord revealed to the bee saying: Make hives in the mountains
and in the trees and in what they build: Then eat of all the fruits and
walk in the ways of your Lord submissively. There comes forth from
within it
a beverage of many colours, in which there is healing for men; most
surely
there is a sign in this for a people who reflect.”
Resolve your daily problems by using Honey and know how HONEY can cure
it and how useful it is. Listed below are some common problems whih can
be
cured by honey :
HONEY
Over the centuries, the great power and strength possessed by honey has
been
under estimated by scientists. If only they looked towards ISLAM, they
would have found an element whose curing ability has surprised all
levels
Of intellect.
A few of the very many cures from honey have been outlined:
For burns
Apply freely over burns. It cools, removes pain and aids fast healing
without scarring. Apart from being a salve and antibiotic, bacteria
cannot
live in honey.
Bed Wetting
A teaspoon of honey before bed aids water retention and calms fears in
children.
Sleeplessness
A dessert spoon of honey in a mug of hot milk aids sleep and works
wonders!
Hyperactivity
Honey is a mild sedative with minerals, vitamins, amino acids etc.
Replace all white sugar with honey. White sugar is highly stimulating
With
no food qualities!
Nasal Congestion
Place a dessert spoon of honey in a basin of hot water and inhale fumes
after covering your head with a towel over the basin. Very effective.
Wounds or Grazes
Cover wound with honey and a bandage. Excellent healer.
For Fatigue
Dissolve a desert spoon of honey in warm water or quarter honey balance
of
water in a jug and keep in the fridge. Honey is primarily fructose and
glucose and so it is quickly absorbed by the digestive system. (Honey
is a
unique natural stabilizer - ancient Greek athletes took honey for
stamina
before competing and as a reviver after competition.)
Facial Deep Cleanser
Mix honey with oatmeal approx. 50/50 till thick and apply as a
face-pack.
Leave on for half an hour then wash off. Great as a deep cleanser for
acne
etc.
Poor Digestion
Mix honey with apple cider vinegar approx. 50/50 and dilute to taste
with
water. This aids digestion. (Also reputed to be wonderful for the
joints.)
Hair Conditioner
Mix honey with equal quantity of Olive Oil and cover head with a warm
towel
for half an hour then shampoo off. Feeds hair and scalp. Hair will
never look or feel better!
Sore Throats
Let a teaspoon of honey melt in the back of the mouth and trickle down
the
throat. Eases inflamed raw tissues.
For Stress
Honey in water is a stabilizer - calms highs and raises lows. Use
approx. 25
percent honey to water.
Anemia
Honey is the best blood en-richer by raising corpuscle content. The
darker
the honey the more minerals it contains.
Food Preservative
Cakes with honey replacing sugar stay fresher longer due to natural
antibiotics. Reduce liquids by approx. one-fifth to allow for moisture
in
honey.
Heart Patients
These people are well advised to replace white sugar (sucrose) with
honey,
natural fructose and glucose.
Hay-fever
Chewing the tops of comb honey stimulates the immune system due to
minute
amounts of pollen. During the season chew for 20 minutes a teaspoon of
bee capping (tops) five to six times per day. Highly effective and
useful
for asthma sufferers as well.
Baby’s Bottle
Four teaspoons of honey to a baby’s bottle of water is an excellent
pacifier
and multivitamin additive. If baby’s motions are too liquid then reduce
by half a teaspoon; if too solid increase by half a teaspoon.
Teething
Honey rubbed on a baby’s gums is a mild sedative and anaesthetic.
Osteoporosis
English research has shown that a teaspoon of honey per day aids
calcium
utilization and prevents osteoporosis. Essential from age 50 onwards.
Long Life
One common fact worldwide is that the most long-lived people are
regular
users of honey. An interesting fact yet to be explained is that
beekeepers suffer less from cancer and arthritis than any other
occupational group worldwide.
Migraine
Use a dessertspoon of honey dissolved in half a glass of warm water.
Sip at start of attack. If necessary repeat in 20 minutes. Always
effective (so tip goes) as migraine is stress related.
Conjunctivitis (pus in the eye)
Honey dissolved in equal quantity of warm water. Apply, when cooled, as
lotion or eye bath.
Cough mixture
6 oz. liquid honey
2 oz. glycerin
Juice of 2 lemons
Mix well. Bottle and cork firmly. Use as required
Important:
Keep honey in first aid cupboard for emergency use, and another in the
kitchen cupboard.
