Honey and Cinnamon paste also is a phenomenal remedy for a tooth infection/ abcessed tooth as well! It should also be noted to never ever give honey to infants. To prevent infant botulism — a rare but serious form of food poisoning —don't give honey or corn syrup (dark or light) to a baby. Both foods are potential sources of Clostridium botulinum (C. botulinum) spores. Bacteria from the spores can grow and multiply in a baby's intestines, making a toxin that can cause infant botulism. The concern is only for children younger than age 1.

Hello!

That's a decent article. Cinnamon and honey are indeed potent healers, and the flavor is pretty awesome, too.  Not sure about it curing deafness, though....

My name is Amber, and I run the infused honey shop wherefrom that image originates, Pixie's Pocket Infused Honey.   I just wanted to give attribution: the photo is by Modern Scribe Photography.

Allergies: Buy honey locally (i.e. farmer's market) - local bees = local pollen. Take one teaspoon daily to build up an immunity.  Worked for me within a couple weeks starting summer before last. I buy from the same farmer every jar as we have a year-round market.

Heres an interesting fact ..Bees visit over 2,000 flowers and fly over 55,000 miles to produce just 1lb. of honey

I have come across this discussion elsewhere, and am currently doing the daily tea regime.  Here's some helpful information:

1. There are two kinds of Cinnamon sold -
Cinnamon Cassia: dark reddish brown, thick and hard, hollow tube, harsh aroma, flat taste, grown in China, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
True Cinnamon: light tan brown, thin and soft, filled like a cigar, delicate aroma, sweet taste, grown in Ceylon (Sri Lanka).
Cassia contains 5% coumarin, while real cinnamon contains no more than 0,004% coumarin.
Cassia may be better in a curry, but it's a lot less healthy. Germany has restricions on cassia.
Cassia contains a "potentially harmful" substance called coumarin. Small amounts are safe for humans to use because we metabolize it into 7-hydroxycoumarin. It is possible that more than a teaspoon daily could be too much for some small people.
Cassia will leave you with "slime" in your glass when you make the tea, whereas the Ceylon type will not.

Personally after reading this, and before starting the daily Cinnamon and Tea regime, I went out and found myself some Ceylon Cinnamon.  I haven't gone looking for the best deal online yet, but did manage to find small bottles of it at Whole Foods - brand name was Frontier.  I am not convinced that I had ever tried this stuff before - it is more fragrant than the other and has a lighter aroma to it.  You definately have to really look for it though - seems that everywhere you go the Cassia is what is sold by default.

2. Honey.  For this diet to work you MUST use raw honey.  Also NEVER boil the honey or mix it into the liquid until the temperature has cooled considerably.  If the water is too hot you will destroy the beneficial stuff in the honey, in which case you may as well not be using the raw stuff to begin with.  I let mine cool covered for about an hour, or maybe slightly less.  Raw honey can be found in most stores - I have seen it in both health food and regular grocery stores.  Even better try and get some from a local supplier or farm.  The Rolls Royce of raw honey is something called Manuka which comes from New Zealand and has some additional anti-bacterial properties as well.  It goes for around $30/pound though, so not really practical for the daily tea.  I got some out of curiosity however, and must say it is quite delicious  :-)   The brand I found with the best reviews on Amazon is called Wedderspoon - read through what people there are saying to see some of it's many uses.

Beyond the benefits of Cinnamon and Honey tea specifically, there is also something called the "Hibernation diet" that suggests eating a quatitiy of honey just before bedtime.  This may explain the weight loss aspect of the Honey and Cinnamon tea diet... will post some info on that below.

The Hibernation Diet

(following from book of the same name by Mike and Stuart Mcinnes with Maggie Stanfield)

How can a spoonful of honey change your life? You can have more energy and lose weight while you sleep. Did you know that the body burns more fat while sleeping than during aerobic exercise?

You'll wake up feeling refreshed and your whole body will benefit. Your skin will improve its tone and texture. Your hair, nails,internal organs and mood will all reap the benefits. The hibernation diet is about recruiting your own natural recovery system for weight control.

Your brain demands constant energy but can not store any. The energy your brain uses comes first off, from your liver. However, the liver can only store a small amount of energy at a time - about 75 grams.

During the night, your body needs new energy to build new cells for your bones, skin, muscles and all your vital functions. Your recovery gland (known as the pituitary, master of the recovery hormone production) that sends out the message, while you're asleep, to do all this reconditioning.

Working through your liver, your body spends at least 4 hours a night doing all this calorie demanding maintenance work, and these calories come from your fat storage. The first 4 hours of sleep, called slow wave sleep, is when your overnight repair system are their busiest.

During sleep, our body uses fat for energy during rest and recovery. For this to occur, our liver must be adequately stocked with fuel reserves to get through the 8 hour fast.

When our liver is fueled, our blood sugar is stable and our body can use fat stores almost exclusively for energy. One of the best ways to fuel our liver is to eat 1 or 2 tablespoons of honey within an hour of bedtime.

Honey has the same amounts of glucose and fructose.Your liver takes in the fructose. The fructose regulates glucose into the liver. That keeps your blood sugar level balanced all night. With no sudden highs or lows, your liver has storage to keep your brain fueled. Now your recovery hormones get on with their job and they use up your fat storage to do it.

So some principles of this new lifestyle are: going to bed with enough fuel in your liver to feed your brain, using honey as the fueling mechanism at night and exploiting your own body's capacity to burn up fat reserves.

Thanks for the great info, I am always interested in holistc ways of doing things to be healthy.  Coconut oil is also very good for you.

beg to differ on that Torrie as both me and my eldest son both had serve Eczema when babies to a point where we both bleed and blistered for years, now neither of us have it nor am i allergic to soap and washing powders any more. So i would go as far to say that we are both cured of it.
