My Nan for decades has taken 2 spoonfuls of apple cider vinegar and honey in a glass of water twice a day for Arthritis, in the winter she uses hot water. The same concoction also helps with the stomache and digestion.

zoophile345	Posted Nov 1st, 2009 at 9:53AM i include honey in face masks, and for many things, honey and apple cider vinegar are great for lots of things Rated: +2Vote for this!
clark141	Posted Nov 1st, 2009 at 11:48PM Honey was used on wounds as far back as the ancient greeks. It does have some medicinal value. Although a standard topical antibiotic would be better. For internal antibiotic, I don't know of any study but usually such claims are ridiculous. It has to be absorbed by the small intestine then be processed by the liver before going systemic. By that time it should be broken down for use as energy or fat storage. Rated: +1Vote for this!

MaleHumanWhite	Posted Nov 1st, 2009 at 6:12AM Its been found Sugar heals wounds. But using raw sugar would probably be better than honey. http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?fsetid=1&click_id=117&art_id=iol1255590476831S264 Rated: +1Vote for this!

justicia	Posted Nov 1st, 2009 at 8:45AM Yeah. I love honey! Soothes the throat and its great to use to sweeten cereal. I also hear milk and honey is good for the skin. It has many good qualities, you can go to a health food store and they can tell you more. Rated: +1Vote for this!
