Honey has anti-bacterial properties. It is also an anti-septic. It slowly releases hydrogen peroxide which kills bacteria. Apply pure honey directly to your acne for relief. Honey has been used for wounds and burns for thousands of years for its healing properties.

How to prevent windburn
January 26, 2010Windburn is actually a drying effect of the skin. The skin has lost it’s oils as a result of exposure the the wind and dryness in the air. Much like sunburn. To prevent this from happening as much as you can figure out how to keep the natural oils and moisture in your skin. If you wash or shave just before going out when it is well below freezing then you have that much less protection. Either keep the skin covered or put something on the skin that helps prevent loss of moisture. Some moisturizers can do this and sometimes something as simple as coating your skin with petroleum jelly will do the trick.
As with sunburn, if you can keep the skin hydrated so that it doesn’t burn and can do this more naturally, then you end up having to use more chemicals such as those in sunscreens and sunblocks.
Treatment for Mosquito Bite itch
January 23, 2010Here are a couple of ideas for a mosquito bite itch:
Baking soda and water mixed together into a paste applied to the bite should relieve the itching very quickly.
Let a tea bag steep for a few minutes in hot water then apply to the area of the bite.
A dab of honey(pure, raw honey preferably).
Mom used to use a dab of spit – that worked sometimes…
Good luck.
How to treat a burn with honey.
January 21, 2010First thing you want to do with a burn is cool the area so that it does not continue to ‘cook’. Use cold water – do not use ice to freeze the area. With a very light burn one could use a cloth cooled with water but for a more sever burn just use cool running water. Once cooled, apply clean raw honey over the affected area. Honey releases hydrogen peroxide very slowly which helps disinfect the burned area. Make sure the area is fully covered and cover the honey with some sort of plastic ‘cling’ wrap. This technique can also be used for more major burns but in this instance I would suggest consulting with your physician as well. If he or she is knowledgeable in the benefits of honey and its healing properties, then all the better.
