Honey and Cinnamon Tea
This tea is awesome! I have had type 1 diabetes since I was 17. I have dealt with so many syringes and insulin pump equipment that I got burnt out. After some research I discovered the major health benefits of this tea combination. My diabetes got so well under control while using this tea that I was able to greatly reduce my insulin intake, so much so that my doctor noticed it and asked what was going on. So I let her in on my discovery. needless to say she was very impressed. I also have Lupus, which makes diabetes control that much harder due to the steroids and other medication use.
What you will need:
2 tablespoons Raw Unfiltered Honey (not the kind in the teddy bear bottle either)
1/8 teaspoon powdered Cinnamon
8 ounces of hot water
Directions: Boil your water, while this is heating add to your mug the Honey and Cinnamon, pour hot water over it and stir. Sit back and relax while enjoying your cuppa tea .
Consume twice a day for maximum results.Do not stop your insulin but monitor it very closely so you can determine how much or less you need to use a day. You will also begin to lose weight.
Raw Unfiltered Honey is the healthiest form of Honey available. The good bacteria in it will heal any wounds and rashes and eat away sugar build up. The Cinnamon does the same also and is good for intestinal issues like Crohns and Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Kitty Litter Box Deoderizer
This is for the cat people! For anyone who has ever had a cat we all know the worse thing about having a cat or a few is the dreaded litter box! I have been using this deodorizer for a long while now and I have to say, it works quite well.
What you will need:
Medium sized plastic container(or a mason jar)
1 box of baking soda
1/2 cup each of:
lavender
sage
lemongrass
herb grinder ( I use magic bullet)
Directions:
put the herbs in you grinder and grind it up until its a powder. Add the baking soda and grind it up again. This helps break up baking soda clumps and thoroughly mixes your herbs and baking soda together. Transfer to your plastic container.
Now when you sift your cats litter box sprinkle a healthy dose in the litter and mix well. When I clean out the litter boxes thoroughly, I will add this mixture to the bottom first of the litter box then add the litter then sprinkle more mixture on top and mix it up well.
