, from 2005-2008, the American Association of Poison Control Centers received 64,658 calls for exposures to cough and cold remedies in children younger than two years of age. As a result, the American Academy of Pediatrics set in place strict warnings about the use of over-the-counter cough remedies in children younger than six years. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nBut merely warning parents not to use OTC remedies isn\u2019t enough. The problem, says the Journal of Family Practice article, is, often, the warning to parents comes without offering an alternative (such as honey and cinnamon). Because of this, unfortunately, many parents continue to use these medications.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nHoney and cinnamon for sore throat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n To help relieve a sore throat, a simple recipe is using four parts honey to one part cinnamon. Some recipes call for 1 tbsp of honey and a quarter tbsp cinnamon. But, here\u2019s the problem with 1 tbsp to \u00bc tbsp: using honey and cinnamon for colds may be effective at easing coughs, colds and sore throat, but it’s not a miracle cure. It will likely take several doses. Slight improvements may be noticed immediately, but it\u2019s probably smart to make a larger batch of cinnamon honey. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nYou can simply mix the honey and cinnamon together, and slather on toast, stir in Greek yogurt, add to an herbal tea, or top on pancakes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nThis recipe is very kid friendly. But do not, repeat, do not, give honey to children under 1 year of age<\/em><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nCan cinnamon and honey cure all?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Is it possible just one teaspoon of honey and a quarter-teaspoon of cinnamon for colds can relieve other imbalances?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe truth is, there\u2019s a lack of scientific evidence of studies involving the combination of honey and cinnamon for therapeutic purposes. If you were to ask a medical doctor about it, they may scoff at the idea. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nBut considering the fact that the compounds in both cinnamon\u2014especially the Ceylon variety\u2014and honey have been analyzed and confirmed for their medicinal benefits, it\u2019s only logical to assume a cinnamon and honey combo may help with several different health concerns. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cinnamon and honey don\u2019t just taste great.
