HONEY
✅ Honey has been used to treat fevers, coughs, colds and stomach ailments by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and Chinese. It is still used around the world today for these medical reasons and is also used to treat burns and wounds.
✅ When modern antibiotics were developed, medicinal use of honey fell out of favor. But with the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in recent decades, researchers are revisiting honey’s antibacterial qualities. Bacteria do not generally seem to develop resistance to honey, hence it has therapeutic potential for use as a broad-spectrum antibiotic.
✅ The hydrogen peroxide present in honey combined with its natural acidic properties combine to create a perfect antibacterial and antimicrobial.
✅ Honey has natural antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antioxidant properties.
✅ The phytonutrients in honey are responsible for its antioxidant properties, as well as its antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal power. They’re also thought to be the reason raw honey has shown immune-boosting and anticancer benefits.
✅ A study of 139 children found that honey did a better job of easing nighttime coughs and improving sleep than both the popular cough suppressant dextromethorphan and the antihistamine diphenhydramine (Benadryl).
