Honey Cures for Stomach Pain

Honey is produced by honeybees from flower nectar in most countries throughout the world. It has been used for centuries to cure ailments from acne to heart disease. Honey is accepted by the medical field as having significant medical properties and is a safe sugar substitute.

  1. Stomach Pain

    • Drinking a mixture of two tablespoons of honey and one-half cup of warm water will provide relief of stomach pains as the result of acid or gas in the stomach and stomach ulcers. A bladder infection may also be the cause of stomach pains. Drinking a mixture of two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and two teaspoons of honey in eight ounces of water can kill germs and bacteria in the bladder.

    Honey and Lemon for Stomach Ache

    • Mix one tablespoon of honey, the juice from one-half of a lemon, one-fourth teaspoon of grated ginger and one-half cup of hot water. Drink as a tea to soothe an upset stomach, stomach pain and stomach flu. This mixture will also work well for a sore throat and mild sinus congestion.

    Honey Allergies

    • Honey is produced from the nectar of flowers and frequently contains bacteria which can be harmful to small children and infants. A pediatrician should be consulted before adding honey to any food or beverage children will consume to determine if they are at risk. In instances where adults are allergic to bees, a doctor should also be consulted to determine if it is safe to consume honey.
