Back over 4,000 years ago honey was considered a valuable commodity. It was given as gifts in the Old Testament. See Genesis 43:11 And their father Israel said unto them, if it must be so now do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds. Honey is a gift to us from God. It is not only sweet, and good for us, but there are also some medicinal properties discovered in honey. It seems like we are finding out more and more uses for honey as a healing agent all the time. Take for example the use of honey for arthritis and gout.
Take 1 part honey to 2 parts warm water and add a teaspoon of cinnamon. Take this mixture and massage into the affected part of the body. The results should be noticed very quickly. Arthritis sufferers can also make a tea with honey and cinnamon and drink it twice daily; one cup in the morning and one in the evening. Use 2 tablespoons of honey and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon with hot water.

The elderly can often times be taking large amounts of pills for varied ailments and often these different medicines can interact with each other in a negative way. If using honey can be replaced for one ailment to someone who is already taking a lot of medications......how wonderful would that be!
Honey can also be used on acne, for the healing of skin after surgeries and other uses which I will be posting on soon!
