Honey

My husband has had an open wound over the Achilles tendon at the ankle just above his heel for over a year. Several doctors have tried to treat it with patches, gels, oral antibiotics, boot use all to no avail. He is not diabetic. The next treatment was skin graft when a friend who has had almost the same story told us he healed his wound with honey and non-surgical wound closures. He also alternated with Goldenseal mixed with Vitamin E oil. He and we cover the honey with a vasaline gauze and then plain gauze bandage. Our friend's wound is completely healed and today after only one week using honey alone the Dr. was amazed at the improvment with my husband's wound and said to continue the honey treatments.

Honey and islam

Healing with honey for many deseases was introduced by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) 1400 years ago and now doctors are proving it.

Honey the sweetness of life. I myself raise honey bee's and what a wonder in my life! In fact when i put the bee's in a fruit grove and the fruit is ripe and fallen off the tree's the honey bee's are all over them so do they eat fruit? Yes they do.

I myself and meny others of my close friends eat raw honey every day and by doing so i have only had 1 cold in 5 yrs. Cheeper then paying for an office vist at the doctors. Honey and its propertise is a wonderful way of prevention and also helps with any skin element. After all whats old is new agein.

Please support your local bee keeper if the bee's die so do we.

Quran Flaed

Hey Han,

Honey for healing if you had read the original article was recorded and found i.e... (Anthropologists have found evidence showing ancient Egyptians used the approach as far back as 5,000 years ago. Aristotle wrote of using the sweet stuff as a salve for wounds around 350 B.C) This pre-dated the Quran by 1025 to 5725 years. Obviously the Quran is seriously flawed because no honey bee on earth eats any fruit.

Praise be to Yeshua (Jesus) the way the truth and the light. Salvation to all and the only way to God and eternal life.

Skin improvements

This really helped my skin by improving it's texture, get rid of almost all the darkness under the eyes and making it smoother.

You will need:

1tbsp of organic honey

1tbsp of smooth, natural yogurt

Half a banana

Put on to face all over, keep on for 15 minutes then rinse with warm water. Say good-bye to blotchy dull dry skin and say hello to smooth clear radiant skin!

Honey Heals

Honey has many benefits. Not only does it taste great, it can be used to treat blemishes, acne, and other conditions. I have been using honey and have found it an absolute great treatment to achieve a clear complexion! Try it yourself:

Mix 1 tsp of honey with a few drops of water

Apply to face and leave on overnight

(*remember to place a sheet of cloth on your pillow to prevent it from going sticky*)

End results after 1 week of applying : Smoother, softer and more clearer skin!

Also as I am a keen reader of the Qur'an - Muslims holy book -

This is what the Qur'an states about honey:

'And thy Lord inspired the bee saying: Choose thou habitations in hills and in trees and in that which they thatch;

Then eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of thy Lord, made smooth (for thee). There cometh forth from their hues, wherein is healing for mankind. Lo! herein is indeed a portent for people who reflect.'

[please note at the time Qur'an was revealed scientists had not revealed anything about honey and its qualities]

Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds.

thank you,

xx hope u all found this useful xx

Honey as a healer

I use honey all the time to heal cuts and wounds! Just any 'ol honey from the store works wondefully!!!

One of my friends had a dog that got it's leash caught over some cinder blocks and she hung all day barely able to touch the ground. Fought and fought till the coller had imbedded deeply. Very bad wound.

I took the dog and coated her neck thickly with honey and in a few days was completly healed. (took a bit for the hair to grow back tho.)

But I keep a packet of honey like u get at a resturant for u'r food with me all the time. Works great!

I first read about the healling power of honey in an 80's issue of the Awake! magazine published by Jehovah's Witnesses.

In that article it showed of a case where a bed ridden boy would constantly get bed sores. What they put on him at the hospital would always take 21 days to heal. But after readin that Awake! article he told them to try honey. Honey would heal his sores in only 9 days! Less then half the time.

Don't be afraid to try store bought honey, even tho comb honey is better to kill germs.

Have a good day! :-)
