i ran across some interesting info thismorning. i haven't tried it myself yet but it made me remember my mom and dad drinking a tablespoon of honey and apple cider vinegar in a cup of hot (not boiling) water every morning and night for muscle cramps. it really helped.
here is just one of the websites i found doing a search on BING

Thanks for sharing! I am always up for pain treatments that do NOT involve my doc.

WOw I have not heard that one in a few years. My dad and his fam swore by it, but I can't gag it down without so much honey I may as well just eat a candy bar... Tho' I can manage lemon juice in place of the cider. Go fig!

Give it a whirl, if you do NOT have acid reflux issues. If you do, go acutious on that cider.

My parents tried this a few years ago for arthritis, they had no appreciable improvement. But I know everyone is diff, so I hope it helps for some/all of you.

Honey and cinnamon are great for the body.

As a cough remedy, I use the following concoction:

4 - Tbls. Honey (I use a little more for taste)
4 - Tbls. Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 - tsp. Cayenne Pepper (ground)
1/2 - tsp. ginger
4 - Tbls. water

Mix well and take as needed. Since it's not a med, you can take it often as you need to . It calms even the worst of my bronchitis.
And if I need to sleep and not be woken up...I'll apply the vics to the feet trick.

I bought some local honey (unpasteurized ) a while back because I read that it may help allergies. It was not cheap. Lol. But omg it tastes fantastic. I can eat it right off the spoon. I use in herbal tea.

I can't say I've tried honey and cinnamon.
I'm all for trying it though.

Thanks for the post.

Wonderbaby, That recipe for coughs looks good.
