you can also give it to your dog to help dry skin. along with other things.
surprised your sponsor wasn't Honey
There's lots of reasons to have blood on your clothes. I have a tendency to end up cutting or tearing the skin on my fingers a lot - because somehow all the things in the house want a piece of my fingers.
I saw a comment saying they’d watch Simon talk about watching paint dry so I thought I’d suggest a video on it. From oil paints that stay tacky for an extremely long time to the reduction of VOCs in modern paints I’m sure you could get 12 to 15 minutes out of it.
Easily 15 minutes. I second this.
Only if he lists facts about said paint while he does it 😆
@@chewysaiditfirst and don't forget bonus facts!!!
@@misledprops I third this motion!! Danny are you reading these?!?!
I've never understood the
"Various organic compounds", I know when you open old paint it tells you though!
A former colleague of mine was a beekeeper, I was having really bad allergies one day, the next morning a jar of fresh local raw honey was on my desk with a note to eat a spoonful a few times a day for 2 weeks. Son of a gun, it worked amazing
@@taco9061 The mechanisms for these things are different, but you are well informed.
Conan Doyle was a medical doctor and Sherlock Holmes became a beekeeper. Doyle must have known something.
@@taco9061 exactly
@@taco9061 As someone who has survived to nearly 60 years old with a long list of allergies, including some very odd ones, I can say that you are only partially correct.
The familiarization immunity effect is not a safe option for several allergies. It can in fact increase sensitivity to lethal levels, for example, penicillin allergy.
Or, in the case of a couple of mine, there has been no change to how fast Vicks Vapourub and it's competitors can shut down my ability to breath if it is applied directly to my chest or neck area. Even the presence of that particular mix of supposedly helpful oils and compounds in the house causes breathing issues for me.
Only effective to help with allergies if local and raw, which is what you describe, but such treatments have viable reasons for effectiveness. I hope they continue to act like allergy shots for you.
A cool thing about the interaction of honey's low water content and its capacity to produce hydrogen peroxide when diluted is that wounds tend to produce a liquid, either in the form of water just leaking out of the abraded skin barrier which is often seen in the early stages of grazes and burns, or in the form of pus in infected wounds. Because of its low water content the honey will suck up that liquid by osmotic pressure, denying that moisture to any bacteria, while that water also produces the formation of hydrogen peroxide right at the interface of the honey and the wound. And will produce more H₂O₂ as the body releases more pus in response to a mounting infection. So as long as the honey dressing is replaced frequently enough the honey maintains its low water content while applying antiseptic to the precise area most in need of it
Thank you so much for this comment it’s sooooo cool
Thank you!
Damn
And there's evidence we've been using honey as medicine since before we even had wheels or fire
In short, honey is a desiccant. You could have just said that; it sums up your entire comment in just one word. However, and to your credit, the overwhelming vast majority of people have no idea what a desiccant is, or what desiccate even means.
Warning against using honey on infants for coughing: At least some regulatory authorities advise against administering honey orally to infants under one year old as their weaker immune systems make them susceptible to botulism (Clostridium Botulinum infection) from bacterial spores that would be harmless to older children and adults.
Not just regulators, says exactly that on many bottles/jars
Also the allergy factor. With real honey there is pollen. You shouldn't give allergens to children before they can say "this makes my mouth tingle"
@@GrifoStelleand I've heard lots of stories of people just thinking 'I guess oranges/shellfish/whatever makes your mouth tingle' and then finding out in their 30's they are allergic!
My late ex wife dipped the soother in honey and now 50 years later that baby has all kinds of allergies.
@@vmitchinson without further evidence, I'm going to write that off as a coincidence
Growing up back woods; I already know. As an adult it blows my mind how many people don’t consider honey a kitchen staple.
We've been putting Manuka honey on wounds and burns in New Zealand for hundreds of years. The Maori people showed the first Europeans this method from day one, healing their ship sores with the application of the special honey. We always have a jar of raw manuka honey in the first aid chest.
Manuka costs a fortune!
@@jaimyjerchig5240 Maybe it's less ridiculous in New Zealand?
Make sure your honey is from an apiary (go to a farmer market or wherever) - grocery store commercial "honey" is corn syrup. Raw honey is best for healing - pasteurized honey is for eating. (Bonus fact: after removing the stinger (if there is one left), wash with soap and cool water then slice an onion and put the "juicy" side on the sting site.)
Honey might treat burns but also increases risk of bear attack. So there's that.
Oh crap your right it’s like your flavoring yourself…. Do you think someone that eats spicy food is spicy tasting???
LOLOL!
Exactly! Why do you think Yogi's friend is named Boo Boo? Coincidence? I think not.
My brother has really nasty hayfever, and local honey is the only thing that really works on it. We're all very cynical in my family, so bit freaked out by a herbal remedy actually working
I have a daughter who had miserable seasonal allergies and they caused major issues with sleeping even causing sleep apnea and local honey was the only treatment that not only didn't effect her energy level but also even worked effectively. The whole family have a lower amount of hay fever and get sick less on the whole.
We have been using local honey daily for over 5 years and will not go back to medication prescribed by doctors ever again for this ailment.
Most modern drugs are made with herbs inside of the capsules. Or scientists will figure out what chemicals or compound exactly is in certain herbs that treat symptoms and they will just extract or synthesis that specific compound and put it into a capsule or compress it into a tablet. A lot expensive drugs really can be grown at home in a garden and most people just see pretty flowers.
Pataday eye drops
Decades of homeopathy is literally what is killing my mother. It's a good thing there is scientific fact backing up the local honey for hay fever.
@@fourtyfivefudd yes but only if they have the training of a pharmacist. Naturopathy is not the same thing as homeopathy.
You know, we were really financially strapped when I was a kid, but one of my mom's friends owned beehives. They would give us 5 gallon vats of raw honey (and I mean raw...extremely dark, with pieces of the comb). We would use the honey for sweetener, etc. All I can say is that my brother and I were super healthy as kids ..rarely getting sick. It's a good thing too because they probably wouldn't be able to afford medical care.
Another reason why we need to protect the bees from Extinction
When a young Prince Henry (later to be crowned Henry the V) was struck in the face by an arrow, after it was extracted, the surgeon packed the wound with gauze soaked in honey. This allowed the wound to heal (as well as could be expected) by preventing infection. Honey as a medicine changed the course of English history.
Probably the only reason he survived 😳
The Romans used honey to bandage shoulders wounds.
I got Covid back in February. When I complained of a hacking cough my doctor prescribed a spoonful of honey for it. That was half of my prescription for the whole experience. I was a little surprised because not a lot of doctors go the natural route. But it did help a lot.
My mom had a bypass in 2005. They had to take veins from her left arm. Neither of her incisions healed well and itched and pulled and caused her discomfort for years. Around 2009, she started using honey on her scars for a few minutes before her showers. Within weeks, the puffiness, the pulling, the ugly redness was just gone! The scars were smooth and flat and didn't bother her any more. Her scars faded, too. It was an incredible difference. So try honey on old scars, too, ya never know!
My neurologist had me use medical-grade Manuka honey on the wound I had after my craniotomy last year. It was very sticky (of course), but it really worked to help close the wound 😊
I've been using honey for sore throats for decades; I usually put in tea with a wee bit of lemon juice
I'm surprised this episode wasn't sponsored by Honey.
I was always told if you move to a new area buy some local honey. Taking a little every day for a month will get you used to the pollen in the area. And make it easier for you to handle hay fever symptoms.
Honey has mixed results for severe ragweed allergy, but goats milk is said to do
Similar, since they eat those weeds. Can’t hurt
I've also heard that honey has no expiration date, as there was a few jars of honey found in the pyramids that was still good!
Side note... The peroxide tip for blood stains should be brought up on your Casual Criminalist show, as a tongue in cheek tip! 😁😆😅😂🤣😎
Correct. It might crystalize but if you sit the jar in hot water for some time it will turn back into a syrup.
I'm surprised that this video made no reference to the Hot Toddy, a combination of honey, lemon, and whiskey that has been used quite effectively for sore throats for generations.
It has the added effect of being a tasty sleep aid.
@@paulwoida8249 I guess "tasty" is subjective. I like whiskey, but I HATE hot toddies. I only tolerate the awful flavor when my throat is so swollen that I can't talk or it impedes my breathing. Yuck!
@@BigLifeWithLitlJay haha yeah i just hate the taste of honey.
That's because the whiskey part is bad for your immune system and disrupts your sleep. Take out the whiskey and it's more effective
Hot Toddy's (Toddies?) were my introduction to alcohol when I was a kid. Neither of my parents liked whiskey, but we always kept a bottle of Bushnell's just for them. Just enough booze to make 11 year old me a little fuzzy and sleepy. I wasn't a fan of the taste, so now I'm curious to try one again now that I'm much older. Hadn't thought about em for decades, so thanks for bringing that memory back : )
Simon, Daven or whoever manages the channel, you guys might want to list links to references the author used when making scientific/medical claims like this video. Just a thought.
I agree to 100% it would support the things hes saying in the video, should be the first priority tbh
Yeah, they used to be so good at providing reference links.
+
Or you could use entertainers to just give you inspiration to do your own research and see if you agree
Most of this informationis not linkable because its behind a paywall, most peer-reviewed medical journals are because if it was free they would not be able to control the information nor would they be able to fund the studies in the first place. If you really want to fact check, google it yourself and see if you can find it for free.
That last tip will save me a fortune on wardrobe expenses. Now I don't have to purchase 2 of everything. One to murder in and one to wear as proof it couldn't be me. :-)
Certain types of honey are also counterfeited more often, so if you're buying a rare one you better make sure who you're buying it from. For everyday honey you can worry less by buying it from a local producer - less chance of chemicals and counterfeiting. Even better if you know the actual beekeeper you're getting it from.
It's also dangerous to give raw honey to very young children.
Qur'an 16:68-69
وَأَوْحَىٰ رَبُّكَ إِلَى ٱلنَّحْلِ أَنِ ٱتَّخِذِى مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا وَمِنَ ٱلشَّجَرِ وَمِمَّا يَعْرِشُونَ
And your Lord inspired the bees: “Make ˹your˺ homes in the mountains, the trees, and in what people construct,
ثُمَّ كُلِى مِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ فَٱسْلُكِى سُبُلَ رَبِّكِ ذُلُلًاۚ يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بُطُونِهَا شَرَابٌ مُّخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوَٰنُهُۥ فِيهِ شِفَآءٌ لِّلنَّاسِۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
and feed from ˹the flower of˺ any fruit ˹you please˺ and follow the ways your Lord has made easy for you.” From their bellies comes forth liquid of varying colours, in which there is healing for people. Surely in this is a sign for those who reflect.
I've been a vocalist in a heavy metal band for the past 13 years (only small time and yes all that screaming shit) and I absolutely swear by honeys ability to soothe a sore throat. I have suffered vocal blowouts on multiple occasions and without fail the only thing that properly eases the hoarseness is honey. Alot of store brand stuff can be really harsh as they like to put tons of menthol in which is great if your ill and congested but if your just dealing with a raw throat it tends to just irritate it. An old vocalist remedy is a 50/50 mix of honey and maple syrup with Raw garlic cloves, let the cloves sit in the mix for a few days and then eat them when needed. They taste way better than they sound and they are absolutely PACKED with vitamins and antioxidants. Beats lozenges any day.
well GL man, most metal vocalists have to stop after a couple years or else lose their voices!
My wife has random periods, and has a genetic issue that causes absesses to form on her body, so actually, Simon, that tip on how to remove blood stains is pretty perfect. It ain't just good for murderers! 🤣😅
Honey in warm whiskey is great for a sore throat. It also works well to reduce sobriety. Win-win.
Awesome video! It should be mentioned that people who are allergic to bee stings should use raw honey with caution as it could cause an allergic reaction. Thank you for sharing this info!
Medicinal therapy, sweetener, baking, brewing. I love how useful of a resource honey is. If you have the option to buy some local raw honey I'd recommend it. Bought a bunch last year for a brewing side project and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was for my throat.
I live in a small rural town in the southeast of the US. A remedy we use for a cough or sore throat is moonshine, mixed with honey and lemon juice. Whisky can be substituted in for moonshine, if you'd prefer. It actually tastes pretty good, and is reasonably effective!
@@taco9061 To each their own. It always works for me when I'm sick 🤷♀️
you're not gonna be worried about yer sore thoat when yer blind!!!!
@@Born_Stellar Well, you only take one shot of the stuff, which has only 1/3 of a shot of liquor (as it's a 1:1:1 ratio) so it's nowhere near enough to be drunk.
@@Born_Stellar depends on how the shine is made. Not all is toxic
This is apocryphal but I used to make mead in my college days using locally sourced honey. I had friends with hay fever tell me that their symptoms were lessened by drinking a glass of my mead every day. Was it the alcohol or the honey I would love to know
It does work to some extent. That delivery method is great as well!

Would you do One on Ketamine Please? Its Amazing!!
I live in NZ, so I can.get a small pottle of NZ manuka honey for $10. Medicine and food!
I wonder if it's the bacterial factors that help me with my allergies - it might not be a pollen issue, it might actually be an infection issue!!!!
Whenever I have colds I always make a "cold-tea"; a slice of fresh lemon, 1/4th of a garlic, 2 tablespoons of honey and boiling water. It works like a charm everytime. It was recommended to me by a voice/song teacher in highschool and it really makes you able to sing (or talk) within hours of drinking the tea👍👍👍
You forgot the shot of Grand Mariner.
@@nunya___ Nope, alcohol isnt allowed for minors (in norway legal limit is 18) and I was given the advice when I was 16. Also alcohol does nothing other than thinning the blood, placebo and make you under the influence soooo.... Therefore I didnt forget 😉
@@elisesofie1856 Alcohol is an actual ingredient for medications. It relaxes capillaries allowing more blood flow and white blood cells get to the infection. It's also known as an antiseptic. The amount in medications is not enough to put children "under the influence" and is certainly not a placebo. There are other ingredients that can do the same thing as alcohol but alcohol is readily available and 100% natural. It can even be made from honey...just add pure spring water. :)
👍👍👍
As a vocalist whose really good at getting a cold I'm absolutely going to try this!!
I used Medihoney colloid dressings to treat wounds when I worked as a travel nurse in California. First time in my 21 year career I’d ever seen honey used, and it was very effective!
I did already knew all this. But I have never seen it all together in one place, done so thoroughly. Well done.
Our family cold cure was raw honey, lemon juice and whiskey at about .5/.25/.25 ratio, dated from the late 1800s at the latest. Cut mucus, helped with cough and helped sleep, which we found interesting when the original Nyquil was 40-45% alcohol...
My sister, who had bad allergies for a few weeks when she went to new areas for work, would go to the local farmers market and get local raw honey and consume a few ounces over the first couple of days, which she found to prevent the allergies. Her belief was it was direct exposure to the local pollen.
this just is another reaseon why the survival of bees is linked to mankinds survival. those little buggers are just full of wonders.
In ayurveda, honey is used for both internal and external applications. It is mainly used for the treatment of eye diseases, cough, thirst, phlegm, hiccups, blood in vomit, leprosy, diabetes, obesity, worm infestation, vomiting, asthma, diarrhoea and healing wounds.
I'm pretty sure honey would be better at causing diabetes and obesity than curing it lol
My mum had severe diabetic ulceration up both her legs from ankle to knee and they (briefly) used manukau honey on those and it really helped, but the nurse led hospital had the gp visit after mum tested positive for streptococcus within those wounds and she was moved to a proper hospital and they wouldn’t continue her honey treatment. She died 4 years later from kidney complications, some of which were a direct result of the massive ulcers that wouldn’t go and kept getting infected.
I'm so sorry. Hugs.
That last fact about removing blood should definitely go in the casual criminalist murder note book 😂😂
Makuna honey helped my throat that was ruined from stomach acid and honey for my huge wound. It totally gets the dead skin off, which is very important. Cool vid. 👍
What an interesting video. As a beekeeper I already knew some of the properties but but some of them were completely new to me. Bees also produce a substance called "propolis" which also has strong antibacterial properties.
Medihoney is used medically throughout the US as well, it's use just depends on the type of wound vs other topicals.
This. I love using medihoney! It’s easier to apply if we stick it in the blanket warmer for a bit. 😉
I’ve had Curiosity Stream for years and I love it. It’s super cheap and there are so many amazing documentaries and shows on there. And Bone Detectives really IS a fantastic show
I love bees. They’ve just allowed use of a pesticide that is documented as being deadly to bees in the UK. Greed will be the end of us all
Holy moly!! This is serious as you obviously know from your comment! Do something- start a petition, give one to each political representative in your area. Get bee keepers and university students/profs from environmental studies and chemistry involved. Stupid people need to be stopped. I'm in Canada and it's a battle here as well :(
We have the same problem in the US. The pesticide stops the queens from being able to reproduce. It also kills insect eating birds. Many States here have banned its use, but I don't think everyone has.
I was in Oman recently and I bought a small jar of what they call zizphus or sidr honey. It has to be the tastiest honey ever. But it is whopping expensive (if not, it’s probably fake). They say it has some of the best medicinal properties of almost any honey, but I don’t know if there is anything to back that up.
Honey made from rhododendrons tastes so awful that no one is going to poison themselves with it
I used honey on my dogs eye infection. Just bathed it twice a day with honey and cooled boiled water. Cleared up really well.
I'd just like to point out that approximately 50% of the population has a regular need to potentially remove bloodstains from garments that has absolutely nothing to do with murder.
Thank you!
When eating raw garlic an equal amount of fresh parsley is recommended. Sulfur compounds in garlic are released not only in the mouth but also in the gut, from there they seep into the lungs and skin. Plant chemicals like chlorophyll and polyphenols bind to sulfur compounds and help neutralize odor. That's why we put the little sprig of parsley on your plate at restaurants
Fun fact: Honningbrew Meadery uses manuka honey, which is why it is FAR superiour to that Black-Briar swill....
Yeah, but they also use rat poison in their mead, which is why you should trust Blackbriar for quality you can taste.
I personally like to mix both together so I get the awesome Manuka flavour balanced out with just enough rat poison to keep the filthy vermin at bay.
Having said that, I actually prefer a flamethrower for rodent control, but you can't drink a flamethrower so I compromise.
Just because I want to get blood stains out of linen doesn't mean that I've killed anyone Simon...
yet. But thanks for the knowledge Fact Boi.
You forgot the key ingredient in a home made cough suppressant. WHISKEY! one part whiskey, one part honey and a dash of lemon juice. Repeat as needed during happy hour.
As a metal vocalist, I can confirm honey is FANTASTIC for your throat.
This is such a perfectly timed video. I just had an injury 2 weeks ago with the tip of my finger and a vegetable mandolin and was curious on when the ER nurses put Manuka honey on the injury before wrapping it up. Nice to get more information than my quick Google search provided.
love honey, especially in tea as a sugar replacement.
Me every time Simon gives me advise for my secret criminal empire: THIS WILL MAKE A FINE ADDITION TO MY COLLECTION
Also me: Ignoring his advice and writing down my crimes anyway.
Me and my brother had strep throat at one point in time, and we used a home remedy mixture of cayenne powder, minced garlic, and honey to help. It was absolutely gross, but it worked really well. Within a few days we were healed. If I remember correctly, ancient Egyptians used honey for open wounds and for surgeries to prevent infection. I could be wrong about that part though.
You do know that strep throat resolves on its own in a few days, right? If a gross remedy doesn’t produce a significant improvement over no remedy, then it’s not exactly a remedy.
@@eroraf8637 Not for us. It usually sticks around for a week. It also helped with the pain.
@@spiritofnex next time, try a hot toddy (lemon, honey, and whiskey). I hate them, but many people claim to like it and I'm sure it tastes better than red pepper. I've gone from completely hoarse to having normal conversations in only an hour after a hot toddy.
@@spiritofnex Ah, fair enough. Weak immune system?
@@eroraf8637Yup. To the point that the hospital was basically my second home.
I was shocked when my husband's podiatrist prescribed medical honey for his infected toe...that had a tendon hanging out of the gangrene! Needless to say he was fired, husband was put on 6 weeks of home drip antibiotics to save his life.
I'm certain honey would've been fine had my husband NOT been a type 1 diabetic with neuropathy.
On the "using honey to treat sore throat/used by voice actors and opera singers" thing, I knew a guy in high school who regularly drank honey straight from the bottle. He was in the musical and he claimed it helped his throat.
I've used tea with honey in it as a remedy for sore throats for as long as i can remember. I think the heat, the tanic acid, and the honey all make a triple whammy.
a big perspective thing with medicine is that synthetic drugs usually mimic known behaviour in things we have already found because completly figuring out how a chemical works on a body without trying it is sort a holy grail.
One project trying to help in this case is Folding@Home where you can "donate" your CPU/GPU power to let them fold and unfold proteins so the most conforming protein can be found for research into antibodies/antimicrobials and could also help figure out alzheimers, its that holy grail i mentioned.
actually knowing how anything works in a body is the holy grail. scientists/doctors have almost no idea how any medicine works, beyond knowing that its compound 'A' that effects receptor 'B'. but don't ask for an explanation, they don't know HOW it works, only that it does.
and i'm not even kidding, really, i'm sure there are a few things but the body is so complicated a lot of research papers say 'the mechanism for how this works is unknown' but its a whole research paper on it.
Was moving out of my parents house and didn't have any Neosporin when I got a cut from a box. Googled a replacement because I didn't want to stop unpacking. Honey and rose hips popped up. I combined the 2 and sure enough it worked and healed nicely. Even had a slight tingling/stinging that surprised me. It was a good year or so before I remembered to go out and buy some Neosporin and even now I really only use it for deep cuts/puncture wounds. Tend to alternate day by day.
also, doing nothing to a small would also works!
In China, there’s all-natural cough syrup made from herbs and honey that was invented in the Qing Dynasty and remains extremely popular to this day. Though I don’t put much stock in Traditional Medicine, I like to take a dose of it when I’m feeling ill, as its thick texture coats and soothes a sore throat nicely. It’s interesting to hear that the recipe might have some legitimate effectiveness after all, but I suspect that modern manufacturers use processed rather than raw honey, so it may just be a placebo effect after all.
Nim Jiom cough syrup! My mom is a retired nurse and she has always kept this around for coughs and sore throats. I've always preferred it because it works very well and doesn't taste awful like conventional cough syrups. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nin_Jiom_Pei_Pa_Koa
Never trust anything from china
Kinda makes me think of the Keto Diet, which everyone thinks of as a weight loss fad. It's not. In one form or another the diet dates back to ancient Greece where it was used to treat epilepsy. It was the predominate method for treating epilepsy until medicines started taking over. However, in the early 80s it was rediscovered as a tool to treat epilepsy and for some people, it's the only effective means to manage epilepsy. There are actual, real, peer-reviewed studies to confirm Keto's effectiveness with epilepsy and autism. (My oldest son has epilepsy).
This diet has been repackaged countless times. In the 2000s it was called The Atkins Diet. All meat, no carbs. Same thing.
Completely debunked as effective for long term weight loss though. Bad for the kidneys etc - I have no comment on autism or epilepsy except to say that there are very effective medicines prescribed for these at least in the UK so a harmful unbalanced diet wouldn't seem necessary unless you're in the US without insurance
How can you tell if someone is on a keto diet? Don't worry about it... they'll tell you!
@@altongehringer9858 lmfao 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@1physics Agreed. It's a difficult diet to adhere to long term. It has been almost impossible for my 14 year old son to follow it. Fortunately, good sleep habits and medication keep his epilepsy under control. However, Keto can be used as a last resort AFTER medications have failed (about 30% of epileptics). In sum, by eliminating carbs as a fuel source, the body is forced to rely on fat. After about 6 weeks, the genes responsible for metabolism begin to change and this change carries an anti-seizure effect. Good news is that so far studies show this gene change can be permanent, meaning some might not have to be sentenced to Keto for life.

From early childhood up to today, I often mix chopped onions with fir honey or at least forest honey (the dark brown kind), let that sit for a night and spoon the so gatheret juice to cure a "top cold" as I would call it.
Sure burns like heck, but works surpisingly well...
Just wanted to thank you so much for making this video, I started putting manuka honey in between my toes every morning and my athletes foot has completely disappeared, best part is I can eat a spoonful of it as well. Say for that any other athletes foot ointment. From age 14 to 40 I suffered from horrible burning itching and bleeding. Honey absolutely works miracles and I am so glad I watched this video . Thank you
One of my favorite cures for a sore throat is mint tea with raw honey, you can use each individually for it as well as just regular honey, but combining is the most soothing! Peppermint tea works just as well as regular mint
I love the subtle humor ! Great writing and presenting.....
If you like tea, something else you can try for cough and sore throat that my parents and I like is Orange Pekoe (aka Black Tea) mixed with enough lemon juice to colour/flavour the water and equal amount of honey. This remedy can be taken as often as your stomach can handle the lemon juice.
Both onions and garlic are part of the Allium family, which means they are rich in sulphur compounds, hence why they can be so effective against minor infections. If you ingest three cloves of garlic a day, crushed to maximize their oil exposure and mixed with honey to minimize the burn of those oils, it can reduce the irritation of the infection within a day and clear it within a week or two. Daily ingestion of a clove a day is also supposed to benefit your immune system and may even help keep blood sugar levels to a healthy reading. If I get a minor throat infection, that's what I rely on; too expensive to go to the doctor's office for anything but more serious reasons.
The fact that this episode was NOT sponsored by honey rustles my jimmies
I’ll make a Hot Toddy for my sore throat/congestion in the winter. One glass before bed usually has me feeling better, not back to normal, but better the next day. Black tea, bourbon, cinnamon, lemon, and honey.
The last one’s very helpful for people who don’t want to keep ruining their clothes every month when they inevitably leak.
Also for murderers though.
also amazing for cloning plants!
Between this and Casual Criminalist and all the other things, Simon has really good tips for murderers/crime peeps/neighbors.... etc.
I knew honey was good for these things due to being taught / personal experience (except the eye drop one) but It's nice to hear it explained as to "why".
Another use -
Manuka Honey is often good for backing off a migraine headache. About a heaping teaspoon held under the tongue and let slowly dissolve.
My friend gets painful migraines, they help. I sometimes get ocular migraines (usually no pain but my vision gets blurry / wavy like looking through heat coming off a hot road).
I kind of think it has something to do with bumping blood sugar. And/or does something to the body fluids? I'm honestly not sure but it has made the headache back off many times over the years. I'm also not sure it has to be manuka honey for this task. But I have some so if it is an oncoming migraine I use it.
Simon half-jokingky mentioned waiting for the water to cool down before pouring it in your eye, but didn't mention that you shouldn't dissolve honey in hot water as you kill most of the antimicrobial agents and are thus just left with sugar water, rendering the honey useless.
Damn, so Honey is basically "why go for the usual Pharma route when u can take the Herbal route?"
"You're welcome, murderers!" Look, just because YOU don't have a first aid incident every time you pick up a kitchen knife...
So you'll need to add a bonus pro tip to your list for criminals: Use honey to remove bloodstains, but don't, for the love of your prolonged freedom, combine with incineration or you're just screwed!
a quote from a movie called the lobster about blood stains
Nosebleed Woman: "I'm sorry, I've got blood on your shirt. But don't worry, there are many ways to remove bloodstains from clothing. One way is to rinse the clothes with cold water then rub with sea salt. Another way is to scrub the stains with cotton wool dipped in ammonia. The third way is to mix flour and water into a paste, like toothpaste, especially if the clothes are delicate or brightly coloured. But just never use warm water on blood, ever."
idk if its true or not but the last bonus fact made me think of this
My son had a cold gave him cough syrup, he kept coughing. I gave him tea with honey, my baby slept like a baby.
I like how Simon just called us all murderers
I am a wound care nurse. We use medihoney for full thickness wounds with usually great results over a period of time. Not my favorite go-to but it is definitely in the toolbox
Honey also works great on old wounds, too. My mom had bypass scars that had puckered and pulled and were red. She put honey on them for a few minutes before her showere and within weeks they faded and laid flatter. Thought that might help patients still bothered by old scars..
I use a lemon ginger tea with extra lemon and so much honey it doesnt all mix in when I have a cough or sore throat. It works for me.
This will actually be really helpful, I hadn't thought to use honey for my sore throat.
There was a period where I used it as a face treatment, it worked well on some acne types
How to get blood stains out of clothes is an important life skill for anyone who menstruates, not just murderers.
Pretty sure there would be more backlash if he had said 'p**sies' instead of "murderers"...
Simon has a child so pretty sure he knows women menstruate. He also went to school and had grade 6 health class. Geez 😑
Already know a lot of the amazing uses of honey, but im always looking for learning more ^^
Fact : if you coat a paracetamol tablet in honey it will stop head aches.
Whenever I would get really sick as a teen, my step dad would make me a warm drink of honey, lemon juice, water, and a little whiskey, and heated. It would make my throat feel better, and let me get some sleep.
I learnt from my mum to cut up a bunch of garlic, put it in a jar, fill to cover it with honey. Left for a while it liquidises. Awesome for sore throats.
12:24 And, again speaking from personal experience, if you eat over a longer duration, (significant) more than 500g garlic a day, people also tend to do not to want to stay in the same room. Even if it is a large office floor, and your cubicle is on the other side.
Rule of thumb: If you can smell that someone has eaten garlic, you haven't eaten enough. If you can smell that everything on you smells like garlic, you've eaten too much.
Edit: Also: Garlic in this photo is about my daily intake. After I did cut back.
So honey wont help me save a little money on very specific things, which doesn't work everywhere on Earth, while also getting my personal data sold?
Sounds pretty good.
Very interesting Simon, great video
I wonder how honey stacks up against pine tree sap as an anti-biotic
Good Work Simon and team. Nice to know there are real home remedies like grandma used back in the day just in case the Zombie Apocalypse gets too far out of hand before I kick off this mortal coil in 4 decades or less.
We called it a hottie tottie. A warm mixture of honey, lemon, water, and whiskey. Cure-all for coughs and sore throats. Had my fair share of them growing up.
Growing up in various central African countries my siblings and I were subjected to a few spoonful of raw honey, complete with wax and the ovations dead bees. My dad would get two jugs of it from our grandparents farms in a monthly basis and he'd just sit and pour a cup and just straight up drink it while chewing up the bees 🐝 😑. It was so gross.
Right idea though! Probably helped 😂
I _lived_ on honey when my asthma was off the wall as a kid.
It was the difference between sleeping for a while and staying awake all night vomiting from coughing so much.
