Haha, that’s one of those old-school pantry power combos people swear by 😄
If that’s what you’re hinting at, here’s the safe, sensible way folks usually mean it—plus what it’s actually good for.
🍯 Cloves + Honey + Cinnamon (Traditional Mix)
Simple Mix
-
1 cup raw honey
-
1 tsp ground cinnamon (Ceylon if you have it)
-
¼–½ tsp ground cloves (strong stuff—don’t overdo it)
Stir well, store in a glass jar, keep at room temp.
🌿 Why People “Thank You”
Traditionally used for:
-
Sore throat & cough soothing
-
Cold-season comfort
-
Digestion support
-
Breath freshening
-
General immune support vibes
Honey coats and soothes, cinnamon is warming, and cloves are antimicrobial and numbing (that’s why dentists love them).
⚠️ This is not medicine, but it can be a comforting home remedy.
How It’s Commonly Used
-
½–1 tsp straight off the spoon
-
Stir into warm (not hot) tea or milk
-
Dab a tiny bit on gums for tooth discomfort (briefly, then rinse)
Important Safety Notes
-
Cloves are potent — too much can irritate your mouth or stomach
-
Not for babies under 1 year (honey rule)
-
If pregnant or on blood thinners, go light or skip cloves
-
This won’t replace medical treatment for infections
Flavor Tweaks (Optional but Nice)
-
Add fresh grated ginger for extra warmth
-
A squeeze of lemon for throat soothing
-
Pinch of black pepper to boost absorption
If you were thinking of this mix for a specific reason—colds, digestion, oral health, or something else—I can dial it in just righ
