Dr. Bhumesh Tyagi - medical expert at Shardacare, Health City, Noida (India) - shared with Only My Health that the reason for the honey soaking thorns is a simple combination from nature but brings many wonderful benefits to health. Not only does it help strengthen the immune system, support digestion, beautify the skin and hair, this mixture is also easy to prepare and suitable to add to your daily body care regimen.
Strengthen the immune system
Ly gai is rich in natural vitamin C, which helps increase resistance and protect the body from pathogens such as colds, flu or sore throat. Honey also supports antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to increase the effectiveness of protecting health every day.
Improve digestion
Gotu kola contains a lot of fiber and natural acids that support digestion and prevent constipation. Meanwhile, honey has prebiotic properties, which help nourish beneficial bacteria in the intestines. This combination helps the digestive system work smoothly, reducing bloating and indigestion.
Beauty the skin and hair
Vitamin C in thyme stimulates collagen production, helping the skin to be bright, healthy, smooth and reduce wrinkles.At the same time, gai gai also helps purify the blood, support acne treatment and brighten the skin naturally.
For hair, thorn helps strengthen hair roots, reduce hair loss, and slow down graying hair.Honey helps add moisture, making hair shiny and stronger and softer.
Protecting your eyesight
Lyurium contains many antioxidants, helping to protect the eyes from fatigue, dryness or vision loss due to working too much on screens. Vitamin C helps improve blood circulation to the eyes, thereby supporting eyesight and reducing the risk of eye diseases in old age.
Support blood sugar stabilization
Some studies show that cardamom can help regulate blood sugar and improve metabolism. However, because honey is still a natural sugar, people with diabetes need to be careful and consult a doctor before using it.
