In the world of romance, the term "honey" is not a new vocabulary unless you're the "lemon" in the relationship.The use of pure honey mixed with lemon in hot water has so many benefits. Sounds like an old practice but based on evidenced researched, there are extra-ordinary benefits of use of honey mixed with lemon squeeze in hot water.
With the common change of weather patterns in the tropics, cough in children with common cold is something bound to happen. We run to buy cough syrups and other self medication therapies in order to suppress the irritating cough in common cold, however, its not always the case for everyone and the treatment recovery is not guaranteed. So, think about this next time before you run to get over the counter syrups. Just go to your kitchen and ask, "Honey are you there?"
Cough in common cold can significantly contribute to childhood morbidity, sleep disturbance in child and family members, loss of school days, parental anxiety and low productivity. Sometimes, that trusted chemist next door is closed and need for a home remedy cure is urgent. Use of Honey then become of great help to suppress the cough, so get the honey and put it somewhere close. However, Caution is given to the use of honey for children below 12 months due to infant botulism a condition of muscle weakness and breathing difficulty.
A teaspoon (approx 5ml) of honey and one medium size lemon squeeze in a 250mls of warm water will help to treat the cough in common cold...if it persist do not hesitate to consult your physician!
It is important that one uses pure unadulterated honey as opposed to the overly processed ones sold n supermarkets. Pure honey does not clot in the tin pack as does the adulterated ones. Both lemon and honey are very cost- effective as compared to the over-the counter syrups.
I would wish to hear from you too, what other uses do you have honey for at home and your experience on the use of honey mixed with lemon squeeze? Share your thoughts and drop a comment if you may. Thank you.

ReplyDeleteCan honey and lemon be used to get rid of pimples?
Thanks for the question.
DeleteSome do use this kind of formulation as a home remedy, though not highly recommended.
It will be good to see a dermatologist to know what kind of acne/pimples you are having and also to know whether it's mild, moderate or severe form of acne.
Another reason why it can be discouraged is due to the low pH of lemon, acidity causes irritation of the skin hence causing more harm than good.
Honey helps to clear out the old dead cells, brightening the skin... however not classified as top choice for skin brightening.
In ancient days people used castor oil, and most of beauty products tend to have percentage of castor oil.
Acne can also be because of internal reasons more than external reasons, so visiting a dermatologist would be more appropriate.
Hope have answered your question Gladys.
