I first read about honeycomb being used as a treatment for breathing problems in 1980 in Dr Jarvis’s book called Folk Medicine published in 1958 I never thought much about it until I became a beekeeper. The value of chewing honeycomb applies especially to the lining of entire pulmonary tract. Of course, honeycomb is not easy to find. You can use 1 teaspooon of raw honey .
I could write a 100 blogs about the use of honey. In the American Bee Journal in 1955 , Llyod Percival wrote about the “ Experience with Honey in Athletic Nutrition “ I alwaus have found it fascinating about how bees gather nectar from flowers. This is the chief source of carbohydrates which are converted into dextroise and levulose The other food necessary for the honeybee is derived from pollen which is also found in honeycomb. Watch a notice a honeybee with pollen on its body as it flies back to the hives.
So this yet another apitherapy product from the beehive which has medicinal use. The others are propolis, royal jelly, beepollen , and bee venom
