Honey for Pain

HONEY has been around for 150 million years or more and beekeeping for at least 7000 years as a sweetener and a medicine.
As a RAW, Organic substance it has been used to heal sore throats, colds, coughs, ulcers, burns and wounds for centuries.
Most of the honey bought in your local stores has been heated destroying all its natural healing properties so look for local stands or go to your Farmer's Market to purchase the best possible one for you grown locally.
Some common recommendations are: chew small pieces of pineapple with 1/2 teaspoon of honey to reduce cravings for cigarette; 1/4 tsp each ground bay leaf and celery seed with 1 teaspoon honey before lunch and dinner for abdominal discomfort and for chronic fever make a tea of 1 teaspoon holy basil and 1 cup hot water adding 1/4 teaspoon black pepper powder and 1 teaspoon honey. Drink 2 or 3 times a day.
To your good health.

Zen meditation appears to reduce sensitivity to moderate pain when practiced by well-trained individuals, Canadian researchers recently report. There are many different types of meditation and even more teachers. Find someone with whom you feel comfortable, who supports your efforts and encourages you to continue. You will be spending a lot of time with them. To achieve the results found in this study (see complete article on McGillPainClinic.com) the participants had at least 100 hours of meditation under their belts. Yes, it seems like a lot and it is but if you don't start you will never get there. Good Journey. Let me know how it works for you. Dr. McGill
