FEBRUARY 3, 2025 THE BENEFITS OF HONEY

Honey has been a go-to remedy for centuries, offering natural healing and wellness. Packed with antioxidants, it supports your body’s overall health As a beekeeper/apitherapist I promote all products of the beehive— royal jelly, propolis, bee venom, pollen and honey

There are numerous research articles and studies touting the different properties of bee products. Honey is great for wound healing, especially burns. One of the oldest natural benefits of honey is the promotion of wound healing. Since ancient Egypt, honey has been used in the treatment of wounds and burns. Known for its antimicrobial properties, honey helps to kill bacteria, and reduce inflammation

Last night I used fresh ginger, freshly squeezed lemon and my own honey for my sore throat One of the most well-known benefits is its ability to aid in cough suppression and soothe sore throats There is another concoction I make called an oxymel- I cut up red onion, and garlic. I chop finely and place in a jar with my raw honey. I allow to sit for 2 days and strain the onions and garlic. I now have a remedy for cold/coughs and the flu. I have a teaspoon twice a day—morning and bedtime

It is also for allergies. Eating raw, local honey may help your seasonal pollen allergies. Some studies suggest that eating local honey may reduce congestion and ease some allergies. This may be due to the pollen that gets collected by the bees and mixed with honey in small amounts so that your body can train on how to deal with the allergen.

Have 1 teaspoon nightly ( It boosts your own melatonin )

Until tomorrow…
