1. Prevent cancer
and heart disease:
Honey
contains flavonoids, antioxidants which help reduce the risk of some cancers
and heart disease.
2. Reduce ulcers
and other gastrointestinal disorders.
Recent
research shows that honey treatment may help disorders such as ulcers and
bacterial gastroenteritis. This may be related to the 3rd benefit…
3. Anti-bacterial,
anti-fungal, anti-fungal:
“All
honey is antibacterial, because the bees add an enzyme that makes hydrogen
peroxide,” said Peter Molan, director of the Honey Research Unit at the
University of Waikato in New Zealand.

4. Increase athletic
performance.
Ancient
Olympic athletes would eat honey and dried figs to enhance their performance.
This has now been verified with modern studies, showing that it is superior in
maintaining glycogen levels and improving recovery time than other sweeteners.
5. Reduce cough and
throat irritation:
Honey
helps with coughs, particularly buckwheat honey. In a study of 110 children, a
single dose of buckwheat honey was just as effective as a single dose of
dextromethorphan in relieving nocturnal cough and allowing proper sleep.
6. Balance the 5
elements:
Honey
has been used in ayurvedic medicine in India for at least 4000 years and is
considered to affect all three of the body’s primitive material imbalances
positively. It is also said to be useful in improving eyesight, weight loss,
curing impotence and premature ejaculation, urinary tract disorders, bronchial
asthma, diarrhea, and nausea.
Honey
is referred as “Yogavahi” since it has a quality of penetrating the deepest
tissues of the body. When honey is used with other herbal preparations, it
enhances the medicinal qualities of those preparations and also helps them to
reach the deeper tissues.
Even
though honey contains simple sugars, it is NOT the same as white sugar or
artificial sweeteners. Its exact combination of fructose and glucose actually
helps the body regulate blood sugar levels. Some honeys have a low hypoglycemic
index, so they don’t jolt your blood sugar.
8. Heal wounds and
burns:
External
application of honey has been shown to be as effective as conventional
treatment with silver sulfadiazene. It is speculated that the drying effect of
the simple sugars and honey’s anti-bacterial nature combine to create this
effect.
9. Probiotic:
Some
varieties of honey possess large amounts of friendly bacteria. This includes up
to 6 species of lactobacilli and 4 species of bifidobacteria. This may explain
many of the “mysterious therapeutic properties of honey.”
10. Beautiful skin:
Its
anti-bacterial qualities are particularly useful for the skin, and, when used
with the other ingredients, can also be moisturizing and nourishing! For a
powerful home beauty treatment for which you probably have all the ingredients
in your kitchen already, read Carrot Face Mask.
