Cinnamon has been found to kill Staphylococcus epidermidis, the type of bacteria often responsible for acne, and honey has been used as a cosmetic product since ancient times. It also soothes burns and wounds, dandruff and psoriasis, prevents wrinkles and improves skin health.
To combat acne, mix 1 tablespoon of raw organic honey with a teaspoon of cinnamon and apply the paste to the affected area. Leave it on for 20 minutes and then rinse.
Weight loss
This amazing combination helps with weight loss by speeding up metabolism, preventing food cravings and stimulating the fat burning process.
Gingivitis
Honey and cinnamon can do wonders for your oral health. Researchers found that chewing/sucking on a Manuka honey product resulted in a 35% decrease in plaque and a 35% decrease in bleeding sites in people with gingivitis.
Finally, Becky Bell, MS, RD, advises:
“The best way to use honey in your diet is as a sugar replacement. Make sure to buy unfiltered honey, as most highly processed supermarket honey has no health benefits. Use honey with caution, as it still contains a lot of sugar – it’s just “less bad” than regular sugar.
You should also be aware that cinnamon contains a compound called coumarin, which can be toxic in high doses. The coumarin content is much higher in Cassia cinnamon than in Ceylon cinnamon.
It is best to buy Ceylon cinnamon, but if you are considering consuming the Cassia variety, limit your daily intake to 1/2 teaspoon (0.5 to 2 grams). You can safely consume up to 1 teaspoon (about 5 grams) of Ceylon cinnamon per day.
