12 Uses Of Honey. by jayrock(m): 11:27pm On Jul 13, 2016
When you think of uses for honey, you may think of just using it in tea or sweetening a desert, but you might be surprised to find there are many more awesome uses for honey. Remember, quality counts so it’s important to purchase quality honey. The ones in grocery stores are usually processed and removed of the essential pollen that natural honey gets, so when applying these tips be sure to get organic honey.

1: FADE SCAR
Honey is also a natural skin lightener while also reducing the appearance of scars. All you need is to mix a teaspoon of honey with a teaspoon of olive oil or coconut oil then just massage it to your scar and covering it with a warm washcloth. Leave it for 15 minutes. Try doing this daily for a big chance of fading scars immediately.

2: HANGOVER REMEDY
Honey works just like a natural tonic which allows you to get rid of a hangover immediately. It will also accelerate alcohol metabolism as it supports the elimination of toxic compounds that resulted from the metabolism. So the morning (or afternoon) of your hangover, just whip yourself a glass of water with two tablespoons of honey then you’ll be hangover-free.

3: SHINY AND SOFT HAIR
Honey is a good regenerator. If you feel like your hair is closed to damaging, or if you just want to have healthy hair, just apply some honey, wait for a couple of minutes then rinse with water.

4: SOFT AND SUPPLE LIPS
Creating your own honey lip balm is a healthier version than any big cosmetic brand out there. Mix honey, almond oil and beeswax then you have your very own 100% natural lip balm.

5: TREAT CUT AND BURN
Treat minor wounds with honey, especially Manuka Honey, because it is a natural antiseptic. This was how Egyptians treat their wounds centuries ago. Clean the wounded area, dry it then just apply some honey on it.

6: NATURAL FACE WASH
Honey is a super gentle face wash that doesn’t strip off the skin’s natural oils. Not only that, it’s a nice antibacterial alternative to soap that can soften your skin while removing blackheads and whiteheads as well.

7: HONEY BATH
At night, wind down and relax by having a long, hot bath. Add two tablespoons of raw honey to your bath water which will moisturize your skin and protect it from damage, especially during the colder months.

8: REDUCE SEASONAL ALLERGIES
Don’t you just hate allergies during spring? By taking a few teaspoons of local honey each day, you will have a massive relief from seasonal allergies. The small amounts of pollen in the honey apparently builds up an invulnerability to the pollen. It’s like an allergy shot but with a sweet taste and without the scary needle.

Honey has a lot of uses. Specifically, it can help removing blackheads.

Honey has antibacterial property and can repair skin effectively. Therefore, the tips for how to treat blackheads with honey is widely used in the treatment of acne and skin beautification.

To treat blackheads with honey, it is great if you take about 3-5 teaspoons of honey to boil up, let it cool down and then rub on the skin acne. You wait until the layer of honey dry and then peel off the skin. Blackheads will be glued to the mask and will be pulled out easily. This is considered as one of effective home remedies for blackheads. You can perform 2-3 times/week until you get smooth skin as wished.

Also, you can mix honey with lemon. Drop just a small amount of lemon juice into the mixture 3-5 tablespoons honey and apply to your face for 20-30 minutes then rinse your face with cool water. After just one month, you will see results immediately.
