Honey and Lemon Water: 7

Amazing Benefits and a Healing
Recipe
October 29, 2018

We all know that there are perfectly delicious combinations, like strawberries and
chocolate, peanut butter and jelly or salt and pepper. But there is also a divine duo of
Honey and Lemon! It is not just delicious, but also amazing for our body and soul. Both
honey and lemon are fortified with natural healing benefits and we will cover them here.

From the very old days, lemon and honey have been used as a natural healing remedy in
most cultures. Of course, some cultures didn’t have the magical citrus fruit growing on
trees, but honey was available even some 40 million years ago when the first honey bees
appeared on the planet Earth. Thus Baltic people used quince fruit instead of lemon.

Moreover, imagine, there were no pharmacies or doctors round the corner a thousand
years ago, but they had the Elders who prescribed one or the other healing remedy
through a spiritual ceremony. There are plenty of songs and stories about the
superpowers of raw honey in the old Lithuanian / Baltic culture.

What is honey? Or actually, what is raw honey?

Some of you might not be very familiar with the term “Raw Honey”. Let’s meet and greet
raw honey first.

Raw honey is honey that has not been processed or pasteurised in any way. It is cold
extracted straight from the hive. Most importantly it is free from antibiotics and has not
been infused with any additional flavourings or sweeteners.

Commercially available honey is usually heavily processed, pasteurised and heated to

make it more appealing for the customer. Commercially bought honey may also be
blended with other low-quality honey or mixed with refined sugars. These processes
destroy all the vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes that the honey contains.
Pasteurisation also reduces honey’s nutritional value, benefits and quality.

Natural honey is obtained through sustainable and ethical beekeeping practices which
use natural and ecological remedies for treating bees. This way it is ensured that the
honey is real and preserves all of its natural beneficial qualities. Therefore, raw honey is
something that our ancestors might have been prescribed by an Elder a thousand years
ago.

Lemon - from fruit to battery

Also known by its scientific name Citrus Limon, lemon is truly a godlike fruit. It is native to
northeast India, where the subtropical climate creates the perfect ecosystem for the citric
fruit to flourish. Lemons are fortified with Vitamin C and citric acid. Both of these elements
boost the immune system and helps to fight off the bacteria within your body. Due to citric
acid, lemons are also widely used in cosmetics, pharmaceutical and even as detergent.

Did you know that lemon juice is also powered with electrolytes? And these good friends
in conjunction with electrodes may even power a battery with the electric current!
Therefore electrolytes can also power our bodies after dehydration or excessive
exercises.

7 benefits of honey and lemon water

1. Detoxifies body and aids weight loss

Honey and lemon combination keeps our bodies free from toxins and infectious bacteria.
During our day to day lives a lot of toxins may enter our bodies through the chemicals,
pesticides or even food surrounded by us. Thus the antibacterial properties of honey and
the detoxifying properties from citric acid aids our bodies to remove all the unwanted
toxins.

Many people may wonder – is honey fattening? Conversely, this combination aids in
increasing the metabolism levels and speeding up the weight loss process through
hydration.

2. Clears the skin from acne

Having a lemon and honey combination every morning is one of the most beneficial
remedies in tackling acne and other skin issues. Lemon has oil-controlling properties,
hence removing the excess oils from the skin. Also citric acid works as an exfoliating
agent. It promotes the reduction of dead skin cells and accumulated debris that clog skin
glands.

Honey has antibacterial properties which aid in detoxification and fight against bad
bacteria in your liver. And the micro-elements within honey help to boost the clear and
glowing skin effects through internal consumption.

3. Increase immunity

The anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial qualities of honey make it one of the most
appreciated natural healing remedies for the immune system. Drinking regularly a glass of
honey, water and lemon which is fortified with vitamin C will keep all the illnesses,
diseases and allergies at bay.

4. Reduces throat and cough infection

Honey has always been used in the Baltic culture to treat cough and sore throat
symptoms. This remedy can also be seen very popular in Ayurveda. The anti-
inflammatory and antibacterial properties aid in fighting against infectious bacteria within
your body. Honey also keeps the respiratory tract hydrated.

While honey fights off the excess mucus, lemon helps to thin the congestion of
mucus within our body and bring relief in our airways.

5. Replenish energy

The electrolytes of lemon and micro-elements within raw honey power up our bodies after
excessive dehydration periods. This combination can help after the body had issues like
diarrhoea, vomiting, intoxication or starvation. Even after having too much alcohol or
sports exercises, the glucose and fructose in honey may boost your recovery.

6. Acts as diuretic

Doctors often prescribe diuretics to heal edema and hypertension caused by excess
amounts of fluids in the body. However honey and lemon can act as a natural healing
remedy to remove the excess fluids by promoting the production of urine. This effect also
goes hand in hand with detoxification as the body can lose unwanted toxins. By healing
edema or hypertension, we can remove the extra strain from the heart and normalise the
blood pressure.

7. Nourishes your hair

Hard to believe, but honey and lemon can be the best alternative to shampoo! Actually
even better, because it all comes from natural sources. Using honey for hair, naturally
moisturises the scalp and leaves your hair smooth. While lemon prevents dandruff and
hair loss!

Devine elixir - Honey and Lemon Water

Both honey and lemons have a lot in common. And it is not just the healing effects of this
divinity, but cultural similarities too. Both India and Lithuania share the fact that their
languages evolved from the oldest language in the world – the Sanskrit. Therefore here is
a recipe of how to unite the golden gem of the Baltics and the ultimate energiser of India:

HONEY LEMON WATER RECIPE

Ingredients

1. 2 teaspoons of Raw Linden Honey

2. 1 medium lemon
3. 2 cups of water

Directions

1. Gently warm the water on the stove.

2. Add the honey to the warm water (honey may lose its natural healing qualities in
boiling hot water).
3. Squeeze the lemon juice into the water.

No matter if it’s morning or evening, you can enjoy the soothing and rejuvenating effects
of Lemon and Honey water at any time.
We recommend rinsing your mouth with plain water after drinking this elixir to neutralise
the citric acid from eroding teeth enamel.

To achieve the best results for fighting against infections, illnesses or cold, drink it warm.
However, you can drink it chilled for those hydrating moments. Leaf of fresh mint can
perfectly accompany lemon and honey drink

We strongly advise using honey containing Linden floral nectar for this recipe, because
due to its floral activity, Linden holds natural tonic properties. It helps to raise energy
levels as well as to improve mood. Additionally, Linden blossoms provide antibacterial
properties which help to fight various infections and makes it perfect with cold symptoms
such as fever, sore throat and cough. To top it off, it provides calming and soothing effects
to the stomach, maintains healthy liver and is capable of detoxifying the body of toxins. A
true nature’s blessing.
