FAQ:
- Is this remedy backed by science? Both honey and cinnamon have been studied individually for their antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects, though more research is needed on their combined use.
- Can I use any cinnamon? Ceylon cinnamon is preferred for regular use due to its lower coumarin content compared to Cassia cinnamon.
