How sweet is it!

More uses for honey

Have you tried our honey and brown sugar scrub bar? If not, you can try some of these all natural preparations at home:

For a soothing facial: Blend 2 tablespoons of honey with 1/2 cup of ground oatmeal. Add a few teaspoons of water to thin the consistency to your preference. Apply evenly to your clean face. After 30 minutes, remove with a soft, damp washcloth. Admire your glowing skin!

Enjoy a milk and honey bath: Add around 1/3 cup of honey to 2 1/4 cups of milk. Mix thoroughly. You can even add a few drops of essential oil (not too much!!) to give your honey milk bath additional scent. Place into your bath water and enjoy.

Make a soothing honey body moisturizer. Mix 1/2 cup of honey with 1 cup of cold water and a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. Mix thoroughly and apply to your entire body after your shower.

Relieve sore throat pain and stop coughs - Mix honey with a little lemon juice and take several teaspoons a day when you have a sore throat. This has wonderful soothing properties for a sore throat.

Mix honey with olive oil and apply to the end of your hair to combat dryness and reduce frizz. Leave in your hair for 20 minutes with a hot towel wrapped around it. Rinse and use a mild shampoo.
