   Natural remedies like this have been used for decades, long before there was a Walgreens or CVS pharmacy around every corner.  https://remedygrove.com/remedies/5-Tast … -Raw-Honey

      Thank you for sharing! I like natural remedies better than medication most of the time. I haven't had to go to the doctor in over three years.

         That's great Amanda! I would prefer a natural remedy as well before a doctor's visit. I absolutely love honey. I've been using raw honey for my hair treatment. I've shared an article about it. I love honey in tea and coffee as well. Thanks for sharing the article.

            I love honey too. It does wonders for hair and skin. I searched for your article about hair treatment on your profile, but I can't find it. Could you reply with a link here in the forum? I'm not sure if that's allowed, but if it is, I would appreciate it. Thank you!

               Yes, I can share the link. I have been using the treatment for my hair after moving to Utah. The weather here is hard for me to adapt. I will share the link to your profile. You should find it in your email, I believe.

                  Ok, thank you so much. I can't wait to read it. I'm in NC and the humidity and summer heat are rough on my curly hair. Honey helps a lot.

                     You're welcome! I guess now, we are totally opposite. Before moving to Utah, I was used to the tropical climates as I was born in Malaysia. I didn't have problems such as losing hair. During summertime, Utah is just very hot and very dry.

                        Yes, I have heard that Utah is hot and miserable. It's a beautiful place with lots of things to do though. I read your article. https://bellatory.com/hair/How-to-Make- … sk-At-Home I'm going to make that recipe and see if it helps my hair better than using just honey. Thanks so much!

                           Yes. Utah is incredibly amazing for outdoor activity. I love hiking and mesmerizing the nature beauty of this Beehive state. I hope the mask will work for you, Amanda. Best of luck!

   I was raised on hot toddies and the benefit of honey.
   These days I put honey & lemon in tea if I have some on hand.
   
   I buy honey each summer when it's fresh, but I never know how long to keep it.
   
   Great write.

      Thank you! As long as the honey still looks good, it will be safe to eat regardless of how old it is. If the honey has crystallized, you can heat it using a double boiler, and that will remove the crystals.

         Thanks   i thought since it had no preservatives it might go bad.

            It can last for thousands of years if stored properly. Your comment gave me an idea for an article
