Oh honey! How sweet you are! Who doesn’t love honey? Humans have used honey for over 8000 years. It has so many uses. And no, I am not talking about slathering it on your partner during sexcapades. (Pro tip: sounds better than it actually is. Think sticky! Very, Very sticky!!)
Got a booboo or a burn? Slap (or gently apply) some honey on that and watch it heal twice as fast. Bonus….honey has antibacterial properties to keep infection at bay. One of the most potent anti-bacterial forms is Manuka honey.
Manuka has been found to be effective at killing MRSA! I know this personally. It was the only thing that got rid of a nasty MRSA infection I caught (long, long embarrassing story). I also had a family member use it to get rid of a horrible C-diff infection (horrendous diarrhea) she got from using strong antibiotics for a UTI. Adding insult to injury, the antibiotics didn’t touch the UTI. But Chinese herbs did!
Honey heals rashes, even diaper rash! But don’t ever give honey by mouth to a baby. It can contain botulism that their immature digestive systems can’t fight off. I usually don’t give honey until they hit two years old.
Got dandruff? Mix equal parts of honey and water to condition the scalp. Within two weeks see your flakes go away. ❄️
Morning sickness? Add honey to lemon juice to help eliminate nausea and vomiting.
Got acne? Honey can give it a lustrous glow AND kill the bacteria that cause acne.
Allergies? Local honey pollen has been used for centuries to beat allergies.
Nagging cough? Honey mixed with coffee is an effective cough syrup for even the most stubborn, lingering coughs. Personally I prefer mixing it with lemon and Jack Daniel’s to knock out the most horrific coughs. It was the only thing that would stop my bronchitis when I was a kid. Yeah, my mom gave me JD.
Poor Digestion? It improves digestion by killing off bad bacteria living in your GI.
Bad breath? Massage honey into your gums for 3 to 5 minutes daily to improve stinky mouth.
Honey may be beneficial in battling cancer and heart disease. It even helps with weight loss when used to replace sugar.
Now you can enjoy some sweetness in your life guilt free. You’re Welcome!
