Honey: the miracle healer

Honey is a sweet, viscous food produced by bees. It’s made by bees through regurgitating, enzymatic activity, and water evaporation from the sugary secretions of plants (floral nectar) or secretions of other insects (honeydew). Some bees keep their honey in wax structures known as honeycombs, whilst stingless bees keep their honey in wax and resin pots.

When it comes to honey as a therapeutic medicine, it's critical to use only raw honey. There is nothing added to raw honey, and it has not been "sterilized" using high heat.

Raw honey comes in a wide range of flavors. Wildflower honey, tupelo honey, organic honey, and clover honey are all available. Raw wildflower honey is an excellent midway ground. It usually contains the therapeutic properties of a variety of wildflowers, and the more germ-fighting ingredients there are, the better.

Healing usage of honey

One of the great benefits of honey is its sweet taste which makes it easy to use even with young children.

See below healing usage of honey:

- Burns

Honey is an exceptionally efficient burn therapy. It has antibacterial chemicals that have yet to cause bacterial resistance, and its wet nature aids in keeping burned skin supple and preventing moisture loss. Simply put honey (cold if possible) over the burn and wrap lightly with gauze if treating mild burns.

-Coughs and colds

Consuming raw honey on a regular basis has been demonstrated to help prevent colds in various studies. It also aids in the relief of coughs and sore throats. It has a thick viscosity that covers the throat and suppresses coughing. Its antimicrobial qualities aid in the treatment of upper respiratory infections and throat infections. Gently boil raw honey and mix with healing herbs like sliced ginger, steep for a few hours, then filter off the herbs. Your cough syrup is ready to use.

-Cosmetics

Honey's high moisture content is beneficial to dry skin, and its antibacterial properties may aid in the treatment of skin infections such as acne. A relaxing cleanser or face mask can be made with plain yogurt and honey. A moisturizing exfoliator is made with sugar, raw honey, and sweet almond oil.

-Allergies

Surprisingly, eating raw honey on a daily basis may help to reduce allergy symptoms, notably hay fever. The argument is that because raw honey contains residual pollen and other plant components, low levels of exposure - such as those found in allergy shots - may diminish sensitivity to common allergens.

-Wound healing

Honey has been found in some intriguing research to be an excellent wound healer, particularly for diabetics who have problems with tiny wounds turning into ulcers. It has the potential to minimize scarring and is less uncomfortable than traditional antiseptics.
