6 Home Remedies with Honey That Actually Work

Most of us store a jar of honey in the kitchen, somewhere on the back of a shelf or near the stove. We all really know it goes great with tea or on toast, but how else do you really use it? 

One thing that is important about honey is that it is something rare which serves as a basic ingredient that might turn out to be surprisingly useful for other purposes. It's been a household staple for generations—yet not just for food, but also care. Skincare, comfort drinks, dry lips, tired skin, and there's some method of applying honey on that too.

At TruSoul, we believe in that kind of simplicity. Our Organic Raw Honey is made for real life: no additives, no shortcuts—just slow-harvested, raw honey in a glass bottle that protects its natural richness. We don’t believe in overcomplicating self-care. We believe in helping you find small moments of comfort that actually feel good.

So if you’re wondering how to put that beautiful jar of honey to work, here are six home remedies that are easy to try, gentle to use, and full of care.

1. Honey & Lemon Water — A Calming Start to the Day

There is something very calming to have the morning started off with some warm water adding lemon and honey. It's not just about what's in the glass – it's about ritual. One quiet moment before all the emails, traffic or to-do lists take over.

How to try it:

• Heat a cup of water (not boiling, just warm enough to sip)

• Stir in 1 teaspoon of TruSoul Organic Raw Honey

• Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon

• Sip slowly—maybe while looking out the window or just enjoying a few still minutes

Why people love it: In truth, adding honey to one's daily routine gives one a sense of refreshment. Soothing, smooth, and small steps to care for self that could be done each morning and best especially for days when everything seems too fast.

2. A Simple Honey Face Mask for Tired, Dry Skin

Ever looked in the mirror and thought, “My skin looks... tired”? It is where honey fits in. When put on the face as a mask, it feels rich, soothing, and luxurious.

How to try it:

• Wash and gently dry your face

• Spread 1–2 teaspoons of TruSoul Organic Raw Honey evenly over your skin

• Let it sit for 10–15 minutes while you relax

• Rinse off with warm water and pat dry
  
  

Want to try it differently? Would you like to try with a twist? Can adding a drop of rosewater or a pinch of turmeric even make it more interesting, with acne-prone or sensitive skin? But to be honest, even the honey itself does wonders to soothe any skin.

3. Soft, Nourished Lips with Just Honey

Even in cold weather or after sun exposure, chapped lips will suddenly appear without an introduction. Rather than looking for an ointment, you should try some honey.

Yes, it’s sticky. But that’s exactly why it works—it stays put and adds moisture right where you need it.

Here’s how:

• Dab a bit of TruSoul Honey onto your lips with a clean finger

• Leave it for 10–15 minutes

• Rinse off gently or wipe with a warm cloth

Bonus idea: Mix it with a pinch of sugar and use it as a natural lip scrub. Just be gentle—no need to rub too hard. Your lips will thank you.

4. Honey in Herbal Tea — Comfort in a Cup

Some days call for something warm and comforting. A quiet pause in the form of tea. Add a spoonful of honey, and you will love the feeling.  If you’re looking for that little something to relax after a long day, or you’re feeling a bit low, or you simply just want to slow things down, this one is a favorite for many.

How to enjoy it:

• Brew a cup of herbal tea—ginger, tulsi, peppermint, or chamomile are great options

• Let the tea cool slightly (you don’t want to overheat the honey)

• Stir in 1–2 teaspoons of TruSoul Organic Raw Honey

• Find a cozy spot, and just sip
  
  

Why it works: It’s more than a drink, it’s a reminder to slow down. Something warm, natural, and gentle, especially on those “not-feeling-my-best” days.

5. A DIY Honey & Oat Scrub for Softer Skin

When your skin feels rough or dull, you don’t always need fancy scrubs with hard-to-pronounce ingredients. Honey and oats can do the job with kindness.

This scrub is soft, nourishing, and easy to make. Perfect for days when you want to care for yourself, even in small ways.

How to use it:

• Mix 1 tablespoon of TruSoul Honey with 1 tablespoon of finely ground oats

• Add a few drops of water to make a smooth paste

• Massage gently onto damp skin in slow, circular motions

• Rinse with warm water and pat dry
  
  

When to use it: Once a week is enough. This is a gentle scrub meant to care for your skin. Do na not scrub it raw.

6. Honey for Dry Skin Spots — A Little Goes a Long Way

We all have those annoying impossible-to-moisturize parts like the elbows, heels, the knuckles, or around the nose in wintertime. Before reaching for those heavy creams, why not try honey? It is easy, simple, and mild to apply and rinse. 

What to do:

• Apply a small amount of TruSoul Honey directly on dry patches

• Leave it for 15–20 minutes

• Rinse off gently or wipe with a warm cloth

Best time to try this: After a bath or before bed, when your skin is clean and relaxed.

A Final Thought from TruSoul

Home remedies aren’t about “fixing” things. They’re about noticing what you need—and giving yourself a little more care than usual.

That could mean starting your morning with warm honey water, softening your skin with a face mask, or simply enjoying a quiet cup of tea. These aren’t big changes—but they can bring small moments of comfort that truly add up.

At TruSoul, we’re here to support that kind of care. Honest, slow, grounded in nature. The kind that makes you feel a little more at ease, one small ritual at a time.
