" The intensity of the pain 

depends on

 the degree of resistance 

to the present moment."

" I love walking 

down the street 

and seeing faces and 

drama and happiness 

and sadness and

 dirt and cleanliness."

Honey the Healer

A  L  O  H  A !

 “We lived for honey. 

We swallowed a spoonful

 in the morning to wake us up

 and one at night to put us to sleep. 

We took it with every meal to

 calm the mind, give us stamina, 

and prevent fatal disease. -

" - We swabbed ourselves in it 

to disinfect cuts or heal chapped lips. 

It went in our baths, our skin cream, 

our raspberry tea and biscuits. 

Nothing was safe from honey...

 " -honey was 
the ambrosia of the gods 
and the shampoo 
of the goddesses. "
             Sue Monk Kidd
                 The Secret Life of Bees

“I dreamt -- marvelous error! -

 that I had a beehive 

here inside my heart. 

And the golden bees

 were making... 

sweet honey 

from my old failures.” 

 Antonio Machado

"A good laugh
 is sunshine
 in the house." 
 William Makepeace Thackeray

Honey

is an ancient

blessing, cure,

& healer:

Inside & Out.

For skin problems,

mouth ulcers,

itching,

and more,

honey can truly

be a blessing

as I have discovered.

You will find

medical information below;

But a quick search

will show you 

much info.

There is unfortunately

adulterated honey

on the market.

I advise that you obtain

organic, or from

your local neighbors

who keep bees.

There IS also medical grade

honey -

[Manuka Honey

that a physician might feel

more comfortable prescribing,

but I have had wonderful results

with organic honey. ]

Just wanted to share

something sweet

with You!

            Warmly, coudia

"Another study published in the International Journal of Lower Extremity (arm or leg) Wounds involved researchers discovering a wide variety of treatment qualities found in honey that are almost unparalleled to other forms of treatment. After conducting22 trials involving 2,062 patients who were subjected with honey as a wound dressing, the following properties were found:

• Infections were not only cleared, but wounds were protected from spreading bacteria
• Honey was able to control and eliminate strong odors from wounds
• Permanent scarring was dramatically reduced
• Honey promoted anti-inflammatory activity

These are just a few examples of the healing wonders of honey. "  Link
