Honey does wonders
Honey does wonders to me. It keep me alert when I take a spoon early in every morning. Good for my skin and hair too.
A friend from MyLot (bubblesheun) gave me more ways how honey can do wonders:
1. Honey Mask Recipe: The best facial mask is honey. Place a cloth in warm water and apply to your face to open the pores. Smear on honey, and leave on for 15 to 30 minutes. Rinse off with warm water, then use cold water to close the pores. Use once a week.
2. Egg & Honey Mask Recipe: Mix together 1 tablespoon honey, 1 egg yolk, 1/2 teaspoon almond oil and 1 tablespoon yogurt. Honey stimulates and smoothes, egg and almond oil penetrate and moisturize, and yogurt refines and tightens pores.
3. More Tips:
* Honey mixed with ground almonds makes an excellent facial cleansing scrub.
* A tablespoon of honey whisked together with an egg white, 1 teaspoon of glycerin and about 1/4 cup of flour makes an excellent firming mask. Just smooth on the face, leave on 15 minutes, and rinse off with warm water. You will be pleased with the results.
* Honey also makes a great moisturizing pack. Just mix 2 tablespoons of honey with 2 teaspoons of whole milk, smooth over the face and throat, and let it do its job for 15 minutes. Rinse off with warm water, and finish splashing with cold water.
* Honey also makes a great lotion for dry patches of skin on hands, elbows, or other parts. Just mix 1 teaspoon of honey with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and a 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice. Apply to hands, elbows, heels of your foot, etc., and wash off after 15 minutes. Fast relief!
* Honey works well on chapped lips and for acne because it has antibacterial properties.
* To give your hair lustrous shine, mix 1 teaspoon of honey into 4 cups of warm water. Use as a hair rinse. And if you're a blond, add the juice of 1 lemon, too.
* Mix 1 tablespoon of honey with a cup of warm water. Use it as a mouthwash. Honey cleans teeth and dentures, and kills germs in the mouth.

Step 1. Cleanse!
Firstly, we have to clean our body. A dirty or toxic body is like a garbage bag, it does nothing except rotten from inside. According to many herbs men, cleaning can be done through flushing out dirt from our intestine. Our intestine traps dirt after several years of working hard processing food that we eat. These cleaning process usually known as detoxification. After detoxification our intestine is clean and it will work effectively and efficiently.
Step 2. Nourish!
Then, we should feed the clean intestine with good food. Good food includes fruits and vegetables, cereals, meats and dairy products. These food provide our body with carbohydrate, protein, vitamins and minerals. A suitable amount of the good stuffs nourishes our body. Feeding a body with bad things such as junk food, alcohol etc is clearly means doing harm to our body, we cant enjoy a good health this way.
Step 3. Enjoy!*
When our efficient and effective intestine has absorb nutrients from the good food, the nutrients will go into our heart, brain, and other vital organs. These organs then have no choice except perform greatly. We then enjoy a good health!
