Mix these 2 ingredients together to treat arthritis, diabetes, the common cold and so much more!

For more than two decades, health experts have been musing over the epic power of two of mankind’s oldest culinary ingredients.Its power lies in the fact that both cinnamon and honey contain compounds that affect the body at a cellular level. According to Dr. Axe, this dynamic mixture, destroys free radicals and boosts the immune system.


It turns out that not only do cinnamon and honey taste great together – the resulting mixture is also a medicinal marvel.

Those benefits effectively treat more than a dozen diseases. In this article, we’re going to focus on 5 of the most common ones.

1.Arthritis

In the ancient world, Ayurvedic practitioners recommended a paste made from honey and cinnamon powder for treating arthritis. Today, we understand that this works because of cinnamaldehyde in cinnamon and ingredients like potassium in honey which combine to treat the inflammation and deficiencies at the root of arthritis.

Simply mix two tablespoons of raw honey with one tablespoon of powdered cinnamon. Apply this to to affected area and massage it into your skin. You can also mix honey and cinnamon into a cup of warm water and drink it regularly for arthritis relief.

2.Allergies

A honey and cinnamon mixture can help those who suffer from non life-threatening allergies. As I mentioned earlier, both honey and cinnamon boost the immune system and protect it from bacteria and viruses. Honey and cinnamon also provide relief from inflammation and congestion that may occur as a result of certain allergies.

For this benefit, you’ll want to drink a mixture of honey, cinnamon and warm water regularly.

3.Cardiovascular Disease

Several nursing homes in North America have experimented with cinnamon and honey as a heart disease prevention measure. The current consensus is that the mixture helps increase the flexibility and strength of arteries. Natural News also reports that honey and cinnamon clear clogged arteries – a major risk factor for heart disease.
In addition to drinking cinnamon and honey with warm water, you can create a bread spread with the two.

4.Diabetes

Research has shown that both cinnamon and honey reduce blood sugar levels. Honey also reduces one’s level of bad LDL cholesterol and increases good HDL cholesterol. This is great because diabetics are typically at a much higher risk of developing cholesterol problems.

5.The Common Cold

Remember those antibacterial/antiviral effects I mentioned earlier? They work here, too! In one study, researchers found that cinnamon reduces the growth of various bacteria that cause the common cold. When you combine this with the immune-boosting effects of honey, you get one powerful cold reliever!
