Honey Remedies and Recipes for Graves' Disease and Hyperthyroidism In ancient Greece honey was considered one of nature’s most precious gifts. The Greek philosopher Democritus, creator of atomic theory, said, when asked for advice on how to live and how to keep in good health, that one should anoint one’s interior with honey and one’s exterior with oil. Hippocrates, the Greek doctor, prescribed honey extensively and successfully for many diseases. Honey taken with other food, he said was nutritious and improved the complexion. Honey and nervous system: Lemon juice and honey is a good remedy in cases of hypertension, insomnia, and nervous conditions. Dissolve a spoonful of top quality honey in a glass of mineral water and add the juice of half a lemon. The beverage is pleasant and nutritious. Liver and gall bladder: Lemon juice with honey and olive oil is recommended for complaints of the liver and gall bladder. Honey and insomnia: mix a cup of warm milk with a spoon of honey before going to bed. I sleep like a baby. Honey and sore throat- if you have Graves’ Disease or Hyperthyroidism probably you have the feeling sore throat as well. Nothing helps more than a spoon of honey. It will also clear your voice and help any throat infection you may have as well. Honey and your stomach: An old saying has it that honey is the stomach’s best friend. The medical literature indicates that honey has a beneficial effect on digestion. When honey is used to treat ulcers it has a dual effect: a) a local effect helping the surface of the gastric mucosa to heal; and (b) a general effect building up the organism as a whole, and particularly the nervous system. For ulcers honey should be taken 90 minutes to two hours before meals, or three hours afterward, preferably an hour and a half or two hours before breakfast and the midday meal and three hours after the evening meal. The honey should be dissolved in warm, boiled water. In this form it dilutes the mucus in the stomach and lowers acidity, and is rapidly assimilated without irritating the intestine. A cold solution, on the other hand, increases acidity, slows down digestion of the contents of the stomach, and irritates the intestine. When taken just before meals, honey stimulates secretion of gastric juice. Honey for the eyes: Honey has long been considered a most effective remedy for many Eye Diseases. An ancient Egyptian papyrus gives the recipe for a honey ointment and instructions how to us it. It is recommended to mix honey with onion juice, clover, or wheatgrass for the eyes. In the last century honey was held by some writers to be a good remedy for burns, especially those affecting the eyes, and an excellent cure for inflammation of the eye. It has not lost its importance today, even when medicine has been enriched with a host of new preparations (sulphonamides, antibiotics, etc.), and is, in fact, highly effective for certain diseases of the eyes.
