Treatments for Fatigue
To revitalise your energy levels:
Chronic fatigue is a warning that the body needs some
attention. To remedy a poor quality sleep, honey is highly recommended, as it
acts as a sedative to the body. Twenty minutes after the honey has been taken
into the mouth it has been digested and absorbed into the body. This is because
it is a pre-digested sugar, already digested in the stomach of the honeybee,
and it requires no effort on the part of the human stomach to digest. Keep the
following mixture by your bedside, to be taken as indicated:
Three teaspoons of apple cider vinegar to 275ml (1/2 pint)
of honey.
Take two teaspoons of the mixture before retiring. This
should induce sound sleep within one hour. If, however, you have been unable to
sleep within this period, repeat the dosage.
Senior citizens, who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal
parts, are more alert and flexible. Half a tablespoon of honey taken in a glass
of water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder should be taken in the afternoon at
about 1500hrs (3pm) when the vitality of the body starts to decrease.
This information is an edited extract from the book 'Honey and its many health benefits' by Margaret Briggs.
