Accepted Answer

Freckles: I doubt there is much you can do to rid your skin of freckles.  Honey and lemon would have zero chance of making any difference to having freckles in your skin.

Question 2

my son has a painful cough, head, body hurts. he's 5 1/2. i gave him zarbees honey cough syrup last night, seemed to get worse. what else can i do?

Accepted Answer

Cough/cold: Please treat pain symptoms with something like Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Ibuprofen to help him feel better. I like your choice for cough med - sometimes though, nothing works for coughs, They need to cough to clear increased mucous. Humidity will often help if irritation in airways, so take him in shower and spend 15-30 minutes in the steam. Push a lot of fluids. If short of breath or high fever, to see doctor.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Honey: No proven benefit of honey that way but multiple other benefits proven of eating honey.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

: Your cough is a symptom, an annoying symptom of course. What I would like to know is what started it. Is this the lingering cough from a cold or flu, which could take months to go away? Is this cough due to an allergy…post-nasal drip can cause a lingering cough. I applaud your efforts to remedy your cough on your own, but since it is not going away, please see your doctor now.

Question 5

does putting honey and lemon on your face help get rid of pimple scars and acne scars?

Accepted Answer

Acne scar treatment: I know of no medical reports that show acne scars can be affectively treated with honey and lemon.

Question 6

does manuka & raw organic honey enough to cleanse the face?

Accepted Answer

Plain: Water can clean the face...add soap and the cleansing is better as to whether raw organic honey/manuka (New Zealand) face preparations are better than plain soap and water....plenty of water I can make one definite statement......IT'S MORE EXPENSIVE!

Hope this helps

Scab: I would not try to do this on your own this may lead to an ugly scar. Please see a dermatologist.

Question 8

not true: This is not what will happen although i wonder why one would want to put honey in their eyes to begin with.

Question 9

i used a honey face mask and i woke up the next day and my skin is swollen and itchy and red. does anyone know something that would help it go down?

I would insure: that all of the honey is removed with a gentle cleanser and cool water.  Consider cool compresses. I would suggest application of aloe sap - but some people are also sensitive to that.

Question 10

i am 18 & black african & was wondering what gets rid of dark acne marks on your face naturally? i've tried honey and cinnamon so far.

Accepted Answer

Postinflammatory hyp: The first and most important thing is that you rid yourself of the acne which is causing these spots.   This can be done in many ways and your dermatologist will help you. If the acne is stopped, and the spots are left alone and not picked-at, they usually do go away with enough time. Above all, it is most important to get the advice of your dermatologist.
