The skin is the largest organ of the body and benefits greatly from the application of honey. natural medicine texts have described how honey promotes healing of wounds and sores and acts as an antiseptic, a pain reliever, and a cooling balm that speeds recovery from burns.

Oral Health

As an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory, honey helps maintain healthy teeth and gums. According to natural medicine, a daily application of honey cleanses the teeth, makes them sparkle, and helps prevent tartar, decay, and premature tooth loss. Gargling with honey and water is very useful in protecting against gingivitis (i.e., inflammation of the gums caused by bacterial infection).

Honey helps build tissues and generate energy and heat, three properties that make it good for aging bodies. One or two teaspoons of honey in a cup of warm water with lemon is a refreshing and strengthening drink.

Insomnia affects many of us in our modern age. Honey has been used for centuries for the treatment of this common affliction. Its hypnotic qualities help bring on sound sleep. Two teaspoons can be taken with a cup of warm water or with warm almond milk before bed. Adding a dash of cardamom and cinnamon makes this soothing beverage more delicious. It’s an excellent remedy for sleepless babies and children.

Improve Blood Health

Because honey contains iron, manganese, and copper, it is excellent for building haemoglobin. In cases of anaemia, natural medicine practitioners suggest using honey to maintain the right balance of haemoglobin in red blood cells.

Honey’s natural tendency to clear the channels of the body makes it very useful in helping the body eliminate imbalances in the respiratory pathways.
