It is funny how we are suddenly rediscovering the benefits of many plants and things that have been around for ages. Honey is still used for infected wound dressing, but the honey has to be unheated and natural. Thanks for sharing this.

I love LOVE honey - I use it as a facial, mixed with olive oil as a hair rinse/conditioner, and in each and every tea I brew.
Keep up the good work - you have a great blog. :)
I got here through Blog Catalog, by the way.

The weight loss remedy does not give portions of honey and cinnamon to be boiled in the water. Was wondering also if the honey and cinnamon can be added after boiling the water to preserve all the natural ingredients?

I think no one natural product can preserve its ALL ingredient after boiling. Boiling kills bad and good things both.

I don’t boil honey! When I brew mead, I boil the water first, then pour the honey in and remove it from heat immediately, then stir until mixed well.
I prefer to use “live” honey, so this at least keeps some of it unboiled. :)
