Medicinal Uses of Honey

There are many things Mother Earth has to offer to sustain us, outside the range of herbs and plants as well.

Honey is offered to us for use.

Tracing back, humans have been using honey for over eight-thousand years. From the era of the cave man to today.

Honey is comprised of over two-hundred substances including minerals, vitamins, enzymes and multiple amino acids.

Recorded in Ancient Cultures, honey was implemented for a multitude of medical uses, including; gastrointestinal, liver and cardiovascular problems; wound care; oral health; insomnia; skin disorders; ailments of the lungs; anemia; eye problems including cataracts; and insomnia.

The Egyptians even used honey in the embalming process; also offering it to their Gods as sacred.

The Greeks drank a simple concoction of grape juice and honey to treat Gout in addition to nervous problems.

Honey was found sacred in many cultures and religions, not excluding Islam. The Prophet Mohammad himself treated diarrheal issues with honey.

Avicenna treated Tuberculosis with honey.

Scientists have been studying the properties and uses of honey for a very VERY long time. Studies have shown honey to be effective on MRSA, UTI's, and that it can help to inhibit gastritis. Used as an antibiotic, honey does not cause any abtibiotic-resistant bacterium.

Nearly all types of wounds have been found to be responsive; including but not limited to burns, boils, fistulas, and even ulcers of the stomach.

Honey is crucial to a well-maintained and healthy diet; and overall good health.

Refined sugars have been increasingly shown to be bad for us; using honey as a sweetener replacement is a very good option.

Ingesting honey has been shown to be highly beneficial to your health, and here's why...

Honey contains the following properties:

Antioxidant
 A multitude of nutrition

Honey really is a blessing for us humans! If you don't currently include honey in your diet and have it in your house, you should!

WARNING: Do not give honey to children under 1 year of age.

    The purpose of an editor is to run your gem by fresh eyes that look for those little technical booboos.

Grounding, Centering &  Shielding: Three basics to magic Every time I read information about the practice and importance of Grounding, Centering and Shielding I find that the articles are inadequate to some degree. These three practices are crucial for every practitioner to thoroughly understand and implement daily. Thus I venture here to describe the first three basics for beginners. Grounding The daily practice of Grounding is important for keeping your energies balanced. Throughout the day you feel, experience, absorb, respond and react to a variety of energies and frequencies; it is necessary to ground these out. The Earth carries a constant and renewing source of energy in her core at all times. The Earth is our Mother above all and here to sustain all life she has grown, including you. Like the trees and plants, we too have roots in which we can absorb the earths energy through. These roots are a highway for our energy and Earths energy to exchange.

It means that for a moment in time, "time" as we know it halts. For less than a minute, supercharged Energy is available and this window is more powerful than either the Spring or Fall equinoxes.
