Sure we all think of honey as being a sweet treat but it's also good for us. The honey we are talking about here is raw, unpasteurized honey. This is really important to ensuring you reap all the nutritional benefits honey has to offer.
Did you know that honey has been used in medicine for more than 5000 years!
It's used to treat a wide array of illnesses, ailments, and injuries because of its anti viral, anti bacterial and anti fungal properties. It can be mixed with other remedies and consumed or rubbed onto the skin.
Research shows that honey is effective in preventing acid reflux, reducing the severity and duration of diarrhea, in reducing wound infections, as a cough suppressant, and in reducing allergies.
Honey is also great for our skin and hair. Honey will nourish, condition, and boost the health of your skin and hair. I know the thought of putting honey in your hair seems downright weird, but just give it a quick google you'll be shocked at all the different recipes for honey masks for your hair and face.
Lastly, a trend that is exploding right now is honey water. Mixing honey with warm water (and a pinch of salt if you choose) helps with hydration, digestion, detoxification, reducing allergies, and increased energy.
