			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Honey, especially mixed with cinnamon, can cure a multitude of ailments.  Honey is produced in all parts of the world.  Scientists of today believe honey can be used without any side affects for a number of diseases.  Honey is sweet but if taken in the right dosage as a medicine it won&#8217;t harm diabetic patients.  It&#8217;s important to remember that these ten natural sweet cures haven&#8217;t been independently verified.  These are homeopathic cures, many passed down from generation to generation.  I found many uses of honey mixed with cinnamon to cure ailments from heart disease, acne, hair loss, and gas.  I will focus on the top ten cures to try.</p>
<p>Arthritis is one disease that can be cured with honey.  One part honey to two parts of lukewarm water and a teaspoon of cinnamon will make a paste that will noticeably reduce pain in a matter of a couple of minutes.  Patients suffering from arthritis can take one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and a teaspoon of cinnamon once in the morning and again in the evening.  It&#8217;s been said that taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured.  Copenhagen University tested their theory by giving patients a mixture of one tablespoon of hone and one half teaspoon of cinnamon before breakfast.  The results were that within a week, 73 patients out of 200 were relieved of pain and within a month, arthritis patients could again walk without pain.</p>
<p>Cholesterol is said to be treatable with honey.  Mix two tablespoons of honey and three tablespoons of cinnamon in 16 ounces of tea.  This mixture is said to reduce the level of cholesterol by ten percent within a short amount of time.  As with arthritis, it is said that pure honey taken with food daily will reduce cholesterol levels.  Along the same lines, using cinnamon and honey on bread and eaten at breakfast revitalized the arteries and veins leading to the heart and helpful towards preventing heart attacks.</p>
<p>Men, pay attention!  A mixture of hot olive oil, one tablespoon of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon made into a paste can help baldness and hair loss.  Apply the paste before your shower and leave it on for approximately five to fifteen minutes then wash the hair. </p>
<p>In India and Japan honey and cinnamon is said to help relieve gas, stomachaches and clears stomach ulcers at the root.  If honey and cinnamon are taken before eating it helps digest even the heaviest of meals.</p>
<p>Colds can be treated with honey.  One tablespoon honey with ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon taken daily is said to cure most chronic coughs and clear the sinuses.  You can also make up a mixture of honey, whiskey and lemon juice.  If it doesn&#8217;t clear your cough, at least maybe you&#8217;ll sleep.</p>
<p>Pimples, the curse for both young and old can be removed within two weeks if this remedy is applied.  Make a paste of three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon.  Put the pimples on before going to bed and wash it off the next morning.</p>
<p>Now here&#8217;s a big one.  Weight loss. Twice daily, once at night, and one in the morning ½ hour before breakfast drink a cup of boiled hot water with honey and cinnamon.  It&#8217;s been said that even the most obese patient can lose weight and drinking this mixture doesn&#8217;t allow the fat to accumulate in the body.</p>
<p>Studies have shown that chronic fatigue can be helped by honey.  One half tablespoon of honey in a glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon in the morning and in the afternoon will increase your vitality within a week.</p>
<p>Infertility is a problem that ancient people in the Far East treated with honey.  It was said to strengthen the semen of men.  Two tablespoons of honey taken before bed is said to also correct impotency.  A touch of cinnamon in one half teaspoon of honey and applied to the gums throughout the day will help a woman conceive.  Mixing it with the saliva lets it slowly enter the body.</p>
<p>Finally, bad breath is said to be helpful if gargled in the morning.  One teaspoon of honey and cinnamon mixed in hot water is supposed to keep breath fresh all day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Approximately one out of every ten Americans suffers from allergies of some type. Allergies are the body&#8217;s natural reaction to any foreign substance. When the body encounters one of these substances, it produces many different substances, including histamines. Once released into the body, these cause tissue swellings called allergies. Allergies can affect many different parts of the body including the lungs, skins, nasal passages, sinuses, and stomach. Symptoms of an allergic reaction can include intestinal pain, bloating, mood swings, exhaustion, throat swelling, difficulty breathing, increased heart rate, swelling or bloating of the skin, watery eyes, itchy nose, and sneezing. There are many things that cause allergies including pollen, mold, flowers, dust mites, grass, and spores. Additionally, food and chemicals can be an allergy trigger. The medical community has come up with all sorts of ways to treat allergies, but many people shy away from modern day medicine because of the extensive side effects associated with some of the treatments. It is often the case that the treatment is worse than the cure.</p>
<p>One natural allergy remedy is butterbur. Butterbur is a plant that grows in marshy areas and has three foot leaves. They can be found across Europe, in Asia, and in North America. It is a gentle, natural remedy that is free of antihistamines for those who wish to treat hay fever. It has been used for centuries to treat all sorts of ailments, but it has been found most effective at treating allergy style symptoms. It can also help reduce the muscle spasms associated with allergies. Butterbur is typically taken in tablet form, as the plants themselves can be toxic if not properly processed. The roots are dried, beaten to powder, and combined with other natural ingredients to create the tablet. It is best to take one tablet three times a day, but consult the packaging for more specific instructions.</p>
<p>Another natural allergy remedy is locally grown honey. This product can assist with hay fever and other pollen allergic reactions. It is important to start with small amounts. Approximately a teaspoon per day should help. You must first ensure the honey agrees with your body. If it doesn&#8217;t, discontinue use immediately. If you notice discomfort in the gastrointestinal area, it is important not to use it again. The goal is to work up to several teaspoons per day to ward off hay fever. If you decide to use honey, be sure to do several things first. Talk to your doctor before you try any natural remedies. Remember that you might have a bad reaction to the honey. Not every treatment works for every person. You should only purchase non-pasteurized honey. The honey should be purchased from a local beekeeper or at a local farmer&#8217;s market to ensure the freshest quality available is consumed. Try to make sure the honey was collected at the same time of year that you suffer from allergies. This will increase the effectiveness of this cure. To make sure you get the best results possible, use the honey one month before your typical allergy season. Using it in the midst of your difficult season won&#8217;t be enough. Also, do not heat the honey. It decreases its natural healing properties. One last note, begin with a small amount and increase gradually.</p>
<p>Another natural allergy remedy is green tea. People who regularly consume green tea have noticed that they suffer less from sneezing, coughing, and watery eyes. Green tea is best consumed in purer forms. Don&#8217;t pollute it with additives like honey, and don&#8217;t use chemically processed tea either. It is important that you consume at least one cup per day. You should try to work your way up to three cups per day. It does not matter if the tea is consumed hot or cold.</p>
<p>An additional natural allergy remedy is Echinacea. This herb has been known to treat all sorts of problems, including hay fever. It aids in the production of interferon, which assists with decreasing the swelling in tissues, which, in turn, helps stop the runny nose and watery eyes associated with allergies.Â </p>
<p>One final natural allergy remedy is vitamin C. You become extremely susceptible to allergens if your diet does not contain enough of this essential vitamin. Vitamin C detoxifies foreign substances entering the body and strengthens your cells. Dosages can be up to one thousand milligrams per day.</p>
