Honey...

Honey is nature's liquid gold. Here are a few uses for this treasure:

1. Makes a burn heal faster-many studies have found that smearing honey on a burn may help it heal 5 days faster. This works well on moderate burns, but for more severe burns seek medical help. If you can find manuka honey or another medicinal honey, this would be the best. This can be found at Wild Oats or other natural health food stores.

2. Dry, nagging cough-heat 1 tsp honey and 1 tsp lemon juice for 10-15 seconds in microwave. Sip by the teaspoon. This can be used for ages 1 and up to ease a dry and nagging cough. Do not use on children under 1, because honey can be toxic for young babies. My kids love this mixture and it sure is healthier than the cough syrups at your local drug store.
