If you
have a sore throat, take some honey.[ Honey
has powerful antimicrobial properties, which can soothe your raw
tissues. Pour a teaspoon of honey into a large serving spoon and
then top off the spoon with lemon juice. Swallow the concoction
(without water) every few hours until symptoms clear up. Some
people add a pinch of black or red pepper to increase blood circulation
to the throat.] Due to its natural anti-inflammatory
effect, it will help to heal the wounds more quickly.It also has
different phytochemicals--chemicals found in plants and different
foods--that kill viruses, bacteria, and fungus making it a good
substitute for wound dressings. The taste may also take your mind
off the pain. There is evidence that honey diluted in water will
help with your stomach aches and dehydration.
Do you
have a cut? Honey is a natural antiseptic. Medical journals cite
more than 600 cases in which honey was employed to treat wounds.By
applying honey to your wounds, you prevent infections. Honey contains
antimicrobial agents, which prevents infections by killing the
bacteria in and around your wounds. When using honey it may help
to heat it up before putting it on your wound (caution test the
heat before you place it on the wound).Many types of bacteria
can’t survive in honey, so wounds heal, swelling eases, and tissue
can grow back.
Honey
may also be effective in the treatment of your ulcers.In Europe,
honey has been used internally to help cure ulcers, particularly
stomach ulcers. Burns, too, heal better with honey, studies show.
The advantage of honey is that it not only prevents infections
from occurring, it actually accelerates skin healing.. Since the
sugar in honey absorbs water it helps to trap some of the moisture
so that the bacteria and other microbes can’t grow as easily as
in other food.
In treating
diarrhea, honey promotes the rehydration of the body and more
quicky clears up the diarrhea and any vomiting and stomach upsets.
The anti-bacterial properties of honey, both the peroxide and
non-peroxide, are effective in the laboratory against MRSA strains
of bacteria which are notoriously resistant to antibiotics and
are sometimes responsible for the closing of hospital wards.

For
centuries honey has been regarded as a wonderful gift of nature in
which the properties of an excellent food, beneficial alike to adults
and children, are combined with medicinal properties. Ancient Russian
manuscripts attached great importance to honey as a medicine. Popular
medicine has successfully used it for many diseases from time
immemorial. The results of experiments and observations made by the
medical science in recent decades have proved that honey is an
important medicine possessing many-sided therapeutic properties.
Honey
is very effective in the treatment of some pathological conditions of
the intestinal tract, the respiratory organs, the heart, and the
nerves.

The
knowledge that bee venom possesses medicinal properties has come down
to us from remote antiquity. Written evidence, as well as the
observations of many beekeepers and our own long experience, confirm
the effectiveness of been venom in the treatment of rheumatic fever,
neuritis and some other diseases.

Other Benefits of Honey -Easily digested: Because sugar molecules
in honey can convert into other sugars (e.g. fructose to glucose),
honey is easily digested by the most sensitive stomachs, despite
its high acid content. It helps kidneys and intestines to function
better.
Good source
of antioxidants: It plays a big role in the prevention of cancer
as well as heart disease. Has a low calorie level: Another quality
of honey is that, when it is compared with the same amount of
sugar, it gives 40% less calories to the body. Although it gives
great energy to the body, it does not add weight. Rapidly diffuses
through the blood: When accompanied by mild water, honey diffuses
into the bloodstream in 7 minutes. Its free sugar molecules make
the brain function better since the brain is the largest consumer
of sugar, thus, reduces fatigue.
Supports
blood formation: Honey provides an important part of the energy
needed by the body for blood formation. In addition, it helps
in cleansing the blood. It has some positive effects in regulating
and facilitating blood circulation. It also functions as a protection
against capillary problems and arteriosclerosis. Does not accommodate
bacteria: This bactericide (bacteria-killing) property of honey
is named "the inhibition effect". Experiments conducted on honey
show that its bactericide properties increase twofold when diluted
with water. It is very interesting to note that newly born bees
in the colony are nourished with diluted honey by the bees responsible
for their supervision - as if they know this feature of the honey.
The
nutrients or enzymes that raw honey does contain are destroyed
by manufacturers who heat it in order to give it a clear
appearance to enhance sales. It is healthier for you to buy 'local
honey' and not the manufacturer processed honey you find on Supermarket
shelves. Much of the honey on Supermarket shelves comes from overseas
and you will not really know that fact. Keep in mind that store-bought honey is pastuerized and all of the beneficial bacteria has been "cooked" out of it.
Royal
Jelly: Royal jelly is a substance produced by worker bees inside
the beehive. Inside this nutritious substance are sugar, proteins,
fats and many vitamins. It is used in problems caused by tissue
deficiency or body frailty.

Did you know that honey can relieve you from the hangover? If you have
drunk a lot and it is becoming difficult to get rid of the hangover by
mixing two spoons of honey with half a cup of orange juice and half
a cup yogurt. Blend them together properly and gulp it down.
*
Honey mixed with ground almonds makes an excellent facial cleansing
scrub.
*
A tablespoon of honey whisked together with an egg white, 1 teaspoon
of glycerin and about 1/4 cup of flour makes an excellent firming
mask. Just smooth on the face, leave on 15 minutes, and rinse
off with warm water. You will be pleased with the results.
*
Honey also makes a great moisturizing pack. Just mix 2
tablespoons
of honey with 2 teaspoons of whole milk, smooth over the face
and throat, or try mixing honey with lemon, whipped eggs,
and yogurt and let it do its job for 15 minutes. Rinse off with
warm water, and finish splashing with cold water.
*Suggested medical usage:
For
stomach ulcers,gastritis, dyspepsia and sore throats, 1-2 teaspoons on
an empty stomach (½ hour before meals), 1-4 times a day to assist in
healing and provide pain relief.
For
wounds - apply on a dressing (preferably waterproof) with enough honey
to cover the wound surface. Use 20 ml (25-30 gram) of honey per 10x10 cm
dressing. Change up to 3 times daily.
*For dog allergies:
You
can also use local honey to help cure dog allergies. Why does it have
it to be local honey? Apparently local honey contains very tiny amounts
of pollen. These tiny amounts of pollen are not enough to trigger the
allergic reaction in your dog when they ingest the local honey. What
does happen though is each time the dog eats the local honey, the dog’s
body begins to build up a tolerance to the pollen. Eventually, the dog
is able to tolerate the amount of pollen usually present in the
dog’s enviornment. It works the same way for humans, in case you are
interested.
You
can give your dog anywhere from a teaspoon to a tablespoon of local
honey once or twice a day. You can also mix it into to their food.
Make
sure it is raw local honey. You can find raw local honey at farmer’s
markets, natural food stores and sometimes in the health food section
of your grocery store.
