Cinnamon and Honey Health Benefits

Cinnamon is a spice obtained from the inner bark of the trees from the genus ‘Cinnamomum’. It originated in Sri Lanka and due to its medicinal and highly preservative properties, its popularity spread throughout the word.

It is used in both sweet and savoury dishes, like apple pie, doughnuts, tea, liqueurs, rich gravy or while cooking chicken or lamb. As I mentioned before, it has great medicinal properties which is a major reason for its popularity.

The health problems that I am mentioning here are very common these days, and since you can easily find cinnamon in your kitchen or at your local grocery store, it works as a very inexpensive solution. Let’s begin now, shall we?

Cinnamon Benefits:

Here are all the uses of cinnamon!
1. Cholesterol:

Our body needs cholesterol to produce hormones, vitamin D and digestive salts. However if your body has more amount of this waxy substance than it needs, it can build up in your arteries which puts you at risk of serious health problems like heart diseases.

Cinnamon is an excellent source of calcium and fiber. The combinations of these two components bind and removes salt from the body that have a damaging effect on the colon (bile). The body then has to break down cholesterol to generate new bile hence having a positive impact on heart diseases.

What you can do to use its benefits: Take two table spoons of honey and three teaspoons of cinnamon powder in 16 ounces of tea water. This will reduce the 10% cholesterol level in body within two hours.
2. Cold:

Cold is a very common issue these days. Although it can be treated by the intake of various allopathic medicines, which have a lot of side-effects; you can treat it at home with this simple recipe:

Add ¼ th teaspoon of cinnamon powder into 1 tablespoon honey and mix this well together. You can make this in a large amount and take this twice a day and the cold will vanish within three days.

Another way to treat cold with the help of this spice is to mix about a teaspoon of cinnamon powder in your hot cup of green tea.

Hello People,

Botanical skincare benefits

Some years back,I used almost every skincare product I came across (mostly chemical based),my skin was an eye sore to behold....dull,rough, filled with acne. I almost gave up on taking care of my skin until I learnt the nitty gritty of botanical skin care and I must say I have been loving my skin since then.

The skincare industry has experimented with chemical-based products but is now realizing the significance of age-old natural ways, which has ushered a whole new range of Botanical skin care and hand made products.

Botanical skin care has been an imperative part of every civilization. The methods our ancestors used seem to be resurfacing in the contemporary botanical products. Botanical simply means skincare products in which botanical or natural ingredients are the core of the product. From flowers to leaves to roots and even the seeds, plant extract can become the core elements for skin care products. Plants are known to have healing and regenerative qualities. They also contain essential oils, vitamins, and antioxidants all of which have been proved to benefit us in some way or the other. Well, it would seem our ancestors knew what they were doing after all! Today you will find botanical ingredients incorporated in many modern skin care products for women and men. Some of the most beneficial ones are:

Aloe Vera: One of the most popular botanical ingredient used, aloe vera is extracted from a stemless plant that has a fleshy leaves, the rosettes of the leaves are processed to extract a hydrating gel. This gel contains more than 70 nutrients, from vitamins and minerals, It also has a healthy dose of amino acids, which initiates a cell-renewal process along with Vitamin B that aids the skin in resisting aging.

Witch Hazel: The extracts from the hamamelis tree is known as the Witch Hazel. This is an alcoholic extract is taken from the leaves, bark, and flowers of the tree. The ingredient is a blend of around 15% of ethyl alcohol (for preservation) and around 86% of aqueous witch extract. Witch Hazel is actually one of the best astringents that nature could offer. It has a mild styptic property that reduces razor burn and is an excellent toner for the skin.

Is it important to take Vitamins or do we just concentrate on applying creams/lotion topically.

Below are benefits of taking Vitamin C


Sun Protection:

Vitamin C protects our skin from free radicals that develop due to excess exposure to the sun, environmental pollution and regular smoking. The antioxidants in Vitamin C protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation and the effect of sunlight exposure.

Vitamin C helps to reduce sun burns caused by the exposure to ultra violet radiation to a great extent. It not only reduces sunburns but also prevents the consequences of long term sun exposure that can lead to skin cancer.
Production Of Collagen:

Vitamin C is a required component for the production of hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine, both of which are needed to bind the molecules that produce collagen. This, in turn, firms and tones the skin. Collagen deficiency makes the skin dull and lifeless. Collagen rejuvenates the skin from the roots and reduces wrinkles and symptoms of aging.

Heals Wounds:

The body uses Vitamin C to replace the damaged tissue and helps to heal the wound at a faster pace. Wounds that heal slowly indicate Vitamin C deficiency. Vitamin C improves the skin elasticity and helps to create scar tissue and ligaments for quick recovery.

Protects Against Skin Discolouration:

Vitamin C protects DNA from photochemical reactions that can lead to tumor, skin discolouration and several kinds of skin cancer. It also inhibits the production of Pyrimidine dimers that are the primary cause of melanomas in humans.

It lightens dark discoloration like skin freckles and age spots and helps to get a younger and smoother skin.

Improves Skin Texture:

Collagen also provides the structure for the blood vessels. The tiny blood vessels under the skin carry oxygen and nutrients that keep the skin healthy. Without enough nutrients, the skin will become rough and dry. Creams containing Vitamin C improve the appearance and texture of the skin.

Vitamin C increases the formation of elastin which thickens, protects and heals the skin cells. The thickening effect helps retain moisture, increases the skin circulation and plumps up the skin surface.
