Cinnamon And Honey Cure-All?

[Ann]

Is there any truth at all in taking this mixture? Could it be harmful if anyone wanted to give it a try? Would welcome Sqad's thoughts on this too please.

I am not quite sure for what you intend to take this mixture....BUT.....................it certainly wouldn't do any harm, which is your question, but I cannot see that it has any advantages over conventional remedies....which seems to be the point.

I make up a mixture of lemon juice, cinnamon and honey when I've got a cold. It doesn't actually cure the cold, but it makes it taste nice.

People have been eating cinnamon and honey for centuries. Both have mild antiseptic qualities, so there's some benefit to it. However, if it cured disease, the drug companies would never have come about, let alone become successful.

I was just sent to me in an email, I just wondered about the cinnamon and whether it would be good for the joints. I know honey and lemon is good for sore throats, we use it as a tried and tested natural remedy, it beats the foul tasting cough mixtures! Many thanks.

Coltsfoot rock is good for throats and coughs...maybe it's psychological but it does seem to help.

As sqad has already mentioned, unlikely it will do you much harm, but for any "remedy" that purports to be a universal "cure-all", you should be wary. There is little to no credible scientific evidence to support the vast majority of these health claims, and you should be especially wary of any alternative remedy that purports to cure cancers.
