Jamaican Honey: How To Make A Honey Facial Mask

REVEllers ! I hope i find you all in good health . If you are feeling a bit down today , i hope this post will cheer you up . Today we will be looking at our very own Raw Jamaican Honey. Believe it or not , Honey has so many health benefits , not only does it tastes good , but its really good for you too :-)

Before i get into telling you how to make a delicious Honey Face Mask , let me tell you about some other health benefits.

Anti-bacterial Properties : Honey when diluted with water is great for fighting plaque and also prevents the growth of new bacteria .

Facial Cleanser: To some , this might sound a bit daunting , but honey can be used daily to wash your face. It removes dirt from your pores , prevents acne , reduces inflammation and redness. It was also found that it literally removes blackheads! Have you ever wondered why most high end beauty products contain honey? Well now you know of its benefits you might want to think twice before spending a few extra bucks on that product , when you can buy a bottle of honey that costs less and will also last you a longer time. For a quick home made scrub , mix honey with oatmeal or even cornmeal and in an instant you have your very own exfoliator :-)

Colds and Sore Throat : There is an old Jamaican remedy called "Honey and Lime" , whereby the Honey is mixed with Lime to alleviate sore throats and prepares the common cold for "flight" . This might not be the best tasting remedy , but it works . I can attest to it as a child growing up with Asthma who constantly had colds . For even better results , combine honey with a spoonful of sugar and a clove of garlic to remove phlegm from your stomach.

Indigestion: When mixed with Ginger it is a good digestive aid due to the inherent digestive properties of ginger. Further both ginger and honey have antioxidant properties thereby increasing the immunity of the body. Therefore, consumption of one tea spoonful of ginger and honey tonic is very useful for people who have a weak digestive system. This is great as it soothes the nerves and generally calms you down .
