Cinnamon-honey in warm water: Traditional Home Method
Cinnamon-honey in warm water — a traditional Ayurvedic churna with anupana. It is traditionally a simple sore-throat kitchen sip. Consult a qualified Ayurvedic doctor (BAMS) before preparing or taking this at home. It is not a substitute for medical care. Avoid self-medication in pregnancy, while breastfeeding, in children, or with chronic disease unless a doctor advises.
Important: this remedy is only a supportive home measure. Keep taking any medicine your doctor has prescribed, monitor your readings, and consult your doctor before adding anything new.

Frequently asked questions
Can I make this churna with anupana every day?
- Usually no. Keep home use short unless a BAMS doctor designs a longer plan for cinnamon. Daily megadoses are not traditional kitchen practice.
Is this safe in pregnancy or for children?
- Do not self-medicate in pregnancy, while breastfeeding, or in children unless a physician and a BAMS doctor both agree. Many herbs that are fine in food amounts are not fine as concentrated preparations.
Does this cure disease?
- No. It is a traditional home preparation with traditional benefit language only. It is not a substitute for diagnosis or prescribed treatment.
