5 Amazing Healing Honey Facts

'Honey, unlike almost everything else we consume in our diet, was intended solely to be a form of nourishment – albeit, for the bees. Only milk, to my knowledge, shares this singular biological imperative. But honey is far more than a source of sweetness and quick energy within the human diet.

It has profound medicinal applications, some of which are as follows:'

Fresh Evidence... Could 1 Teaspoon per Day Tame Your Allergy Problems?

by Dr. Mercola

'Asthma is a growing problem, both for children and adults. In the last two decades, the incidence of asthma has increased by more than 300 percent, and it now affects about 20 million Americans.

Locally produced honey is believed by many to be a viable alternative treatment, despite the lack of scientific evidence of its effectiveness. However, before throwing the idea out as being bogus due to this lack, it's worth noting that precious few studies have ever been done on local honey as an asthma remedy. And lack of evidence is not to be equated with evidence of lack of efficacy.

I had to conduct extensive searches just to find the references I will provide later in this article. There is however, a rather large body of anecdotal evidence—people who have tried it with great success. And anecdotal evidence can be just as important when considering a treatmen
For example, many drugs are prescribed off label, not because there have been extensive studies done showing beneficial results, but because "word spreads" that a certain drug "appears to provide benefit" for health problems unrelated to its approved use.'

Why I Love My Honey

by Dr. Al Sears


'Honey reminds me of romance. I call my dearest friends honey when I want to remind them how sweet they are to me. 
But I also use honey for healing.

Ayurvedic practitioners in India have used honey for nearly 5,000 years.
Ayurveda is a holistic health system that evolved in ancient India. The term combines two Sanskrit words to mean “knowledge of life.” It’s the oldest system of medicine in the world. And it is still practiced widely in India, where the government recognizes it.

Not long ago, I traveled 8,000 miles to search out the roots of Ayurveda.
My travels took me to Ayurvedic universities, hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and ancient “healing houses.” Eventually, I arrived at Ayurveda’s birthplace in the isolated country backwaters of the south Indian state of Kerala.

I visited the original Ayurmana or “ancient healing house” and watched the Ayurvedic masters use honey for nearly every skin treatment they created.'

None of your Beeswax - Honey in Medicine

'Well at least I'd hope not, there might be a little beeswax in there but we are looking for pure honey. I bring this up because we are going to take a look at an article from the medical literature on the medicinal use of honey as a wound dressing. Modern Western medicine, well hates may be too strong a word, but really, really dislikes this sort of approach for a number of reasons. 

First and most obviously there is no money in it. This is never openly stated as an issue in treatment but once one digs around a bit one finds that gee, there aren't any free or very inexpensive treatments. Secondly, and perhaps as much of an obstacle, as businessmen will often figure out how to make money from ice cubes in the arctic, is that it is difficult to standardize and worse yet the "active ingredient" is not clearly defined.'

Health Benefits of Really Raw Honey

'Much of the effectiveness of raw honey to help treat respiratory problems has been traced to the bee pollen and propolis suspended within it. According to a research report from Bulgria, they found the honey has anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, and expectorant properties that insure the body has an immunobiological defense and give it the capacity to regenerate its attacked cells. Research on using raw honey to treat respiratory problems shows the following results: Of the 17,862 patients treated with honey, 8,836 were men and 9,026 were women. Most of the patients ranged in age from 21 to 60 years old.'
