So, if you're looking for more ways to use honey, here are a few things you can do outside the kitchen!
1. Use it to beautify your hair.
|
For beautiful hair, as well
as the perfect remedy to control frizziness,
just add 1 teaspoon of
honey to a quart of warm water and dilute.
After shampooing, soak your
hair in the mixture (especially the ends)
, let it sit for a couple of
minutes and rinse off. The result? A glossy
finish!
2. Use it to give yourself a facial.
|
Honey is a natural ingredient
that can be used to keep your skin
moist. It also contains
antimicrobial properties, allowing your skin
to stay fresh and cleansed.
Mix a dollop of honey with two
tablespoons of warm water and massage it
into the skin, rubbing
it up and out.

3. Use it to remove parasites.
If after having come home
from a vacation you've discovered that
you have parasites, mix up a good
blend of honey, water and
vinegar - the perfect remedy to being
parasite free.
4. Use it to clean cuts and scrapes.
One of the reasons that pure
honey has no expiration date is due to
its antimicrobial properties,
making it an excellent natural
antiseptic. Just slather a bit on
scrapes, minor cuts or basic burns, lightly covering the wound.
5. Use it to relieve anxiety.
In India, honey has long been
used to quell nervousness. So, to
alleviate symptoms of anxiety, try
blending it with a calming herbal
tea before bed. For added benefits,
try chamomile, fennel or
lavender. Meanwhile, to start your morning off
on a calm note, add honey to oatmeal - oats are another fantastic,
natural remedy to
reduce stress.
Honey is also one of the ingredient in my cough syrup.
Honey can be used to substitute sugar in many recipes.
