6 Things You Didn’t Know Honey Was Good For
Everybody knows that honey in warm water can help you lose weight and soothe a sore throat, but there’s much more this natural product can do. We’ve picked 6 that we think you might not know!
Use #1: Gives You An Energy Boost
Mix two teaspoons of honey in warm water. Stir and drink up for a blast of energy that’ll take you off your seat and keep you on your toes.
Use #2: Makes Hair Look Great
After a shower, coat the ends of your hair with some honey. Then wash it off—this will get rid of nasty frizz.
Another honey-based hair tip: massage a bit of warm water with honey into your hair, and let it dry off. This will give it a great-looking shine.
Use #3: Exfoliates Skin
Add a bit of honey to ground almonds and some lemon juice: this makes for a refreshing, rejuvenating facial scrub.
Use #4: Acts As An Antiseptic
Honey makes a good antiseptic for minor cuts, scrapes and bruises: its microbial properties can help treat these, as well as burns.
Use #5: Is A Moisturizer
Warm 250 ml of honey in a bowl till it becomes more liquid, and pour it over aromatic herbs like lavender. Close this, and after a week, mix with 250ml of unscented lotion. This gives you a homemade moisturizer!
Use #6: Honey Lip Balm!
If you can find some beeswax, then you can make your own lip balm—by adding some honey and almond oil! Your homemade lip balm will be pretty effective at battling moisture and keep keeping your lips looking glossy and beautiful.
Honey may be a super-healthy supplement, but it’s also more than that. Much more, as these uses prove!
