The Benefits of Honeyed Water

We have all heard of the benefits of honey, but do you know how honey can really boost your well-being? If you drink a glass of warm honeyed water daily, the results will surprise you.
In ancient Egypt, honey was used as a natural remedy. The "food of the Gods" was not only used for treating wounds, but also as a diuretic and a laxative. Also in ancient Greece, the golden aliment was held in high esteem. Athletes used to drink honeyed water as a "performance enhancer" ahead of the Olympic Games, and also for a more speedy recovery afterwards.

Honey is a superb super-food and has many positive effects on our bodies. Just one glass of warm honeyed water daily makes a big difference already.
Honeyed water (1 teaspoon to a glass of warm water) is a great all-rounder which can have many positive effects on your health and beauty.

A strong immune system
Scientific research has shown that honey has antibiotic properties and is therefore a good support for our immune system. Besides, it contains vitamins, minerals and enzymes. The osmotic effect is responsible for harmful bacteria in our bodies being killed when coming in direct contact with honey. Thanks to its high sugar content, water is withdrawn from the bacteria so that the harmful bacteria will simply die.

Detox for the body
We all absorb toxins with our food and often also with the consumption of alcohol, medication and from other sources, which are deposited in our organs, such as intestines and liver. Drinking honeyed water helps to rid the body of these toxins. If you add some lemon juice, the detox process will be enhanced.

Good for the skin
Apart from helping to detox the body, honey has a positive effect on the skin. Its antibacterial properties support cell renewal and make your skin look better. Honey can be used as an indulgent facial mask.

Reduces sugar cravings
The first thing that springs to mind is the high sugar content of honey. Of course, honey contains sugar, but it is completely different from its industrial form. The natural sugar in honey helps us to crave less of the unhealthy kind.

Relieves a sore throat
Warm honeyed water soothes a sore throat. Its antibiotic properties heal infections of the respiratory system and also help to reduce coughing.

Lowers bad cholesterol
Due to its high content of antioxidants, honeyed water can help lower bad cholesterol and to reduce harmful deposits on your body's blood vessel walls.

Lessens the risk of heart disease
Once again, it is the antioxidants in honey which protect your heart. If your cholesterol levels are fine, the risk of strokes and heart attacks are reduced.

"Transform" Intuitive Coaching

Today, I wanted to explain the term "Transform" Intuitive Coaching which I offer to help clients in different aspects of their lives. It simply is a combination of different approaches to discover where there are possible blocks on the path of life and where they come from. To achieve this, we use different methods - most importantly, methods the client feels comfortable with. Elements from "conventional" coaching, past life regression, psychological kinesiology (Klinghardt method) and readings using tarot cards, all those can be combined to reveal where the blocks on the path of life are and bring valuable insight.
Several years ago, when I still lived and practised in Munich/Germany, a lovely young lady came to me for advice. She was working for a temp agency to earn a living. However, she was amazingly gifted and in her free time she tailored the most beautiful ladies' gowns. Unfortunately, what she was earning with her dress-making was not enough to make a living, and she also lacked confidence to take the leap into self-employment. I asked her if she had ever looked into Colour Consulting (enhancing the personal image with colours). Colour Consulting was relatively new then and not many people knew about it. The young lady was intrigued by what I told her about it and said she would definitely look into it. She was so taken by the idea that she booked a course shortly after our talk. To make a long, happy story short, her business took off and soon she was creating her own designer brand. As she was a practising Christian, her website slogan was "God wants you to be beautiful", which attracted mainly lady clients from the Christian community (a fantastic USP :) ...)



Another example is the case of a lady client who was very unhappy and felt stuck. She was working at a renowned racing stable and the stress and "level of testosterone" (her own words) made it hard to cope. When I regressed her into past lives, there were always horses around her, and the last picture she had was that horses were lying down around her to form a circle, with her in the centre. So we knew that horses were important in her life, but the circumstances needed changing. The circle of horses was clearly a clue, so we talked about working with horses as a therapy for children and young adults with behavioural problems and learning difficulties. She loved the idea, and the path was clear again.
