Both honey and cinnamon have been known and used in many ways for centuries and both honey and cinnamon have their own spcific uses and benefits.

Just as with almost everything in life, use a bit of common sense when following any health remedies from any source except a trusted physician. Sure, go ahead and try the suggestions above, but if adverse symptoms appear, then quit using the honey and cinnamon, or if after a bit of time goes by and there is no improvement in your symptoms when using the honey and cinnamon, then again, quit and see your physician about the problem.

A spoonful of sugar may make the medicine go down, but a bit of common sense will let you know if the medicine works or not.
