102 多元豆蜜 Multi-purpose mung honey

[kanako]

Dear Amy,　Kanako,

Thanks to your advice, I will let my daughter apply the honey by herself.
Now she is free from chapped skin from the dry climate.
But her perspiration began to cause her a rash around neck.
Tonight, I applied Evening Primrose oil (Oenothera biennis) on her rash, hoping to ease itchy skin.
I will see whether it worked or not next morning.

Amy, is Mung Honey good for the heat rash skin, too ?　From experience, mung honey helps relieving kids from rashes with perspiration.
May she apply it on her neck ? 　She may apply a very thin layer of mung honey on her neck after washing the area with water. Let mung honey sit for 5 minutes for a start, then add on till 15 minutes gradually. When the time is up, wash off mung honey with water and dry the area. Normally, the rash will become dry and the itchy feeling gone in two to three days' time. Kids become happier when they are no longer bothered by the wet and itchy rash.

I am curious to know what ingredient of mung bean works on trouble skins.
How did you learn the efficiency of Mung Honey ? Something like grandma's wisdom ?　Read my article on Aromatherapy Times to learn more about Mung Honey.

I am happy to keep in touch with you, Amy !　Me too, Kanako.

Dear Amy,　Dear Kanako,

Thank you for answering for my questions.
My daughter, Nanaco, enjoys applying Mung Honey by herself.　Good girl, Nanaco.
Along with Mung Honey, I tie her long hair in order to have her neck and back free from stimulation.
Now her neck has no heat rash.　Great.

She skinned her knee today.
I didn't apply the honey on the knee, thinking it would smart.
Can she use Mung Honey on her knee to cure ?　Do you mean she fell and hurt her knee? If yes, apply Lavender essential oil straight away on the area to stop bleeding and ease the pain will be much more handy than Mung Honey. You may apply mung honey later though.

For myself, I enjoy Mung Honey every bath time.
I apply it on my face and neck, hoping anti-aging.
After taking bath with the honey, my face needs face cream to prevent from drying.
My face is easy to get dry for many years.
But while I was in Taiwan, my face didn't need face cream after taking bath with the honey.
Therefore I guess the difference of the water makes the difference on my skin.　The difference in water and climate play an important part on the skin.
My suggestion: use one teaspoon of mung honey for mask from forehead to the neck once a week. Let it sit for 15 minutes to feel its nourishing effect.

I hold lessons on aromatherapy a few time a month, at my house.
I enjoy teaching how to use essential oils in the dairy life for the people who just began to study aromatherapy.

I hope the more and more people get interested in aromatherapy, and the day may come medical facilities welcome high-standard aromatherapists like IFA members.　Yes! This is the reason why I aim at holding 100 aromatherapy seminars from May 2013 to May 2014 ~ so that more and more people in Hong Kong learn to use high quality essential oils for better living.

Thank you, Amy.　You're welcome.
Keep in touch　Will do.

My best regards, Kanako　Blessings, Amy

Dear Amy,　Dear Kanako,

Thank you for taking time out to answer my questions　You’re welcome.

Actually, Nanaco fell and hurt her knee.
And I applied 2 % Lavender essential oil in sweet almond oil on her knee as soon as she returned home.
It is nice to know that we both think of the same treatment in that case.
If you were me, what percentage of lavender you would apply on such a wound ?
I used 2 % of lavender, since the wound gets sharp pain with 100 % lavender oil.
If I were you, I would use 100% organic Lavender essential oil on the wound with a prerequisite: prepare the person for the treatment.
I would tell Nanaco that applying Lavender essential oil neat on the area would help her heal better and quicker but she might experience sharp pain.
Once Nanaco was prepared, I would apply a very thin layer of Lavender neat from without to within on the wound while telling her the lavender story.
After applying the first layer of Lavender essential oil, there would still be blood coming out from the wound; I would ask Nanaco to wipe the blood off herself.
Asked her to come back in half an hour or so to have another thin layer of Lavender essential oil applied on the wound.
This way, Nanaco would learn how to take care of her wound and not be afraid.
With the accumulating effect of essential oil, her wound would probably be healed within hours.

Thank you for your advice how to use Mung Honey for my face.
I will use it as a musk and let it sit for 15 minutes !　Great. Do keep me posted.

Amy, I admire that you are working on projects one after another !　
Kanako, we could not control when we are going to die, but we may choose to live life to the full according to our preferences.

Best regards,　Blessings,
Kanako　Amy

Hello Amy !　Hello Kanako !

Thank you for your answers !!
I am going to tell you how efficient Mung Honey is on my face skin.

I enjoy using the Mung Honey at bath time.
I am sure that Mung Honey has helped my cheeks, which are tend to get dry, maintain their natural moisture.
While I applied the honey on my face for only a few minutes, I didn't realize it.
But when I applied for 15 mitutes as you recommended, the honey worked superbly !
I feel slight itch under the honey musk. I guess it is because of its osmotic pressure is higher on the damaged skin.
From experience, about 10 minutes after mung honey is applied, the person may feel a warm and itchy feeling on the area. This is a sign that the mung honey synergy is working.

Amy, will you suggest me how to use the greenish layer ?
At the conference, you taught me that bottom layer in the bottle is good for something.　
I am sorry I can hardly remember it,,,　It's okay.
Is the "greenish layer" and "bottom layer" you wrote refer to the same thing? If yes, here it goes:
The greenish layer at the bottom is mainly the mung bean skin which is heavier that sinks to the bottom over time.
You may use it for coarse areas like the elbows, the knees and the heels that needs special attention. Use it as a scrub or mask.
If you apply this greenish layer to the face and neck, do it very gently.

Best Regards,　Blessings,
Kanako　Amy

Dear Amy, Dear Kanako,

Mung Honey has just arrived now ! Great!
It had reached at my house yesterday evening. At that time no one was at home, and I ordered post office to resend me today.
If I was at home then, the Mung Honey took 4 days to reach me. So it doesn't take long for mung honey to travel from Hong Kong to Japan.
The pack was passed to my hand from the postman. So the Mung Honey was not left in the mailbox. Yes, I sent it by Registered Mail to make sure it arrive safely.

Amy, can I drip the new mung honey over the rest in the bottle ?
Or should I drip the new one in a clean new bottle ?
Kanako, if you were using dry and clean spoon to take mung honey out from the bottle, you can drip the new mung honey into the old bottle. However, if you were using wet fingers to take out mung honey, then it's better to drip the new one in a clean new bottle.
BTW, remember to cut open the environmental friendly plastic bag to use every single bit of mung honey.

Best regards, Blessings,
Kanako Amy

Dear Amy,

Mung Honey, wonderful !

Yesterday, Nanaco and Kazuhide got sunburn at a swimming pool.



The above picture shows Nanaco and Kazuhide being applied Mung Honey in the bathroom.

They couldn't soak themselves in a bathtub for pain.
But after applying Mung Honey for 5 to 7 minutes on the sunburn skin, they didn't feel pain in the bathtub !
Seemed the inflammation has been relieved by Mung Honey.
Is Nanaco and Kazuhide getting better?
You can apply munghoney onto their backs and let it sit longer, say 15 minutes, before washing it off.
Remember to turn off the fan before applying munghoney so that they will not catch a cold during the 15-minute wait.

My children love Amy's Mung Honey

Yours,
Kanako

エイミーへ
Mung Honey　ってすごい！

きのう、うちの菜々子と一秀がプールで日焼けして、その晩お風呂に浸かると痛いと言って、湯舟に入れなかったので、munghoneyを試してみました。

日焼けしたところに薄く塗って、５分から７分たったころ、もう一度湯船に浸かってみたところ「あれ？！ぜんぜん痛くない！」と子供たち。

Munghoneyのおかげで炎症が落ち着いたようです。

うちの子供たちもエイミーのmunghoneyが大好きですよ♪

[kanako]

Dear Amy,

Yes ! Both Nanaco and Kazuhide have been free from sunburn pain after applying Mung Honey just once.
On that night, I applied 10 % lavender diluted in sweet almond oil after the bath time.

I am convinced how Mung Honey is helpful for skin troubles.
Amy, thank you for introducing me Mung Honey at the conference.

我已經用了兩樽豆蜜洗臉，大約三個月的時間，發覺與之前我認為洗得最乾淨的cleansing foam比較，豆蜜洗完臉那種乾淨的感覺更加明顯，滲入皮膚內部更深層，真是乾淨過乾淨。因為有比較，這是我繼續選用豆蜜的原因。

其實我比較懶，只係夜晚用，但我都覺得鼻兩邊和眼底下那些部位的毛孔沒以前那麼粗，整塊臉的皮膚都比之前細緻。如果我夜晚不是用豆蜜去洗臉會有種不太乾淨的感覺，習慣了用豆蜜洗完臉那種乾淨的感覺就不再想用其他cleansing foam。

剛用豆蜜的人應該由最basic洗臉開始，最基層的洗臉是每天都要做的事，先做洗臉。因為皮膚清潔那種感覺令人好舒服，跟著再慢慢用豆蜜做面膜或其他，要有耐性，沒可能一日就會好。我覺得要有耐性，洗臉開始，跟住我就發現豆蜜敷在臉上耐一點就變成面膜，豆蜜敷咀唇耐一點可以令咀唇沒那麼乾涸，原來連對眼也可以敷耐一點豆蜜變成眼膜的，總之要有耐性，不要心急。

"I got canker sore, which had started 4 days ago.
On the day 3, when the pain was peak, I applied Mung Honey on the spot, hoping it would reduce inflammation.
When I woke up on the day 4, I have no pain and the canker became smaller ! Thank you, Mung Honey !
It is best to apply Mung Honey just before going to bed. Otherwise I tend to lick Mung Honey off."

In Japanse:
"4日前から口内炎ができはじめて、とうとう3日目に痛みがピークに。そこで消炎作用が効くかもしれないと思い、Mjung Honeyを口内炎に塗ってみました。
翌朝起きると、口内炎は小さくなって痛みはすっかり消えていました！Mung Honey ありがとう！
Mung Honeyを口内炎に塗るならば、寝る前が一番です。起きているときはつい舐めてしまうので長い時間口内炎にとどめておくのがむずかしいからです。"

我用了豆蜜4個月。

我打高爾夫球的。打球的人的手背會在推桿時曬黑，皮膚也會變乾。我把豆蜜也用在手背上，現在皮膚的狀況也明顯地變好和變白了，沒有了「一截」明顯的黑色。

最近，我不幸地感染了「手足口病」而要隔離在家。兩星期以來不用工作，不用化妝之餘，我每天早晚用豆蜜洗臉，完全沒有用上任何護膚品，包括睡前。然而臉部皮膚的保養卻依然很好！
