Yummy, tasty honey and cinnamon! As much as I love the benefits of honey there is much to be said about the health benefits of cinnamon too. Together these two are a marriage made in heaven and do make some pretty good cures.
Along with your jar of honey I advise very strongly for you to keep a supply of some kind of cinnamon supplement in your store cupboard which will help to form the basis of your newly discovered and completely natural medicine supply.
There are many types of cinnamon supplements on the market but personally I like real cinnamon commonly known as cinnamon quillings which I grind myself.
These quillings are the rolled bark that has been dried when harvested from the cinnamon tree, this is organic cinnamon.
I always keep a tub of cinnamon capsules or cinnamon supplement of some kind just in case I run out......hmmmm, not likely!
Be very careful with powdered cinnamon, this can sometimes just be powdered sawdust so it is advisable to check the label very carefully before purchasing.
These two ingredients form incredible flavours which not only taste nice but are fantastic when combined together for some very tasty recipes.

It is taken from the bark of the cinnamon tree and just like honey, has been around for thousands of years, although I suspect not as long as honey itself.

Sadly it is very unlikely to cure baldness although these sort of claims are rife over the internet. Honey if you have this problem believe me and all my female friends, baldness does not make you less attractive and female baldness is taken care of too.
There are some fantastic wigs nowadays, in fact my own hairdresser told me that you can wash your hair as normal when wearing one. So please don't believe these silly claims.
We have mainly our little friends the honey bees to thank for their continued efforts in plant pollination to keep this wonderful tree growing and supplying us with its delicious taste and benefits.
Did you know It was once considered to be so precious, more precious than gold? and was used as a form of currency!
It is said the great Nero once burned a years supply of Cinnamon in tribute to his dead wife!. He was obviously a very rich man indeed!
Honey was also used as a form of currency in ancient times and although these two are rich in health giving properties it is a great shame they are not valued as currency today! We could all be rich
However, we can still lead rich, healthy and rewarding lives just by enjoying the health benefits of honey along with the benefits of cinnamon. And hopefully save ourselves time and money by incorporating the two of them together in our daily diets.

Here is a fact concerning honey and cinnamon taken from Wikipedia as a source and one that is worth mentioning and Is Not a Honey and Cinnamon Cures for Anything!The Cinnamon Challenge Cinnamon is the subject of an internet meme, The Cinnamon Challenge, in which one attempts to eat a tablespoon of cinnamon without inhaling the cinnamon or vomiting.
Despite thousands of video-documented attempts, few seem able to succeed. One notable challenger was the host of the television show Tosh.0, who failed.
Most don't seem to realize that, even if breathing through their nose, they usually inhale the cinnamon dust, resulting in a very painful and probably dangerous experience. It takes a great deal of liquid to saturate a tablespoon of powder.
This dust is easily carried in any air that is shared between the mouth and throat. Often the challengers then panic and gasp for air through their mouth, inhaling a large amount of cinnamon.
I thought that worth a mention, not because for one minute we would dream of attempting such foolishness, but more a word of caution not to inhale it!
There are sources who state sniffing cinnamon will boost your brain power! Smelling the aroma and sniffing it directly are most definitely two different things don’t you agree?
