Immunity
Wild honey has a rich history as a natural remedy with many health benefits. It's often used in hospitals to treat wounds. These benefits are especially found in raw honey.
For generations, honey has been a go-to for soothing sore throats and calming coughs. Mixing it with hot tea and lemon can be especially comforting during a cold.
Recent studies suggest honey could be better than other treatments for upper respiratory infections. Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties make it effective for sore throats too.
Digestion
Honey is sometimes used to ease digestive issues like diarrhea, although more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness. It may also have potential as a treatment for H. pylori bacteria, which can cause stomach ulcers.
Additionally, honey contains prebiotics that support the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut, promoting better digestion and overall health.
Joint and Back Discomfort
Raw honey is packed with plant chemicals called antioxidants, which help protect your body from cell damage caused by free radicals. These harmful compounds can contribute to aging and chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease.
Studies suggest that the antioxidants in raw honey, particularly polyphenols, have anti-inflammatory properties that could help prevent various conditions linked to oxidative stress.
Additionally, raw honey may contain bee pollen and propolis, which offer added benefits. Research indicates that raw honey could have protective effects on several systems in the body, including respiratory, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and nervous systems, and may even play a role in cancer treatment.
Pregnancy
Honey is generally safe for pregnant women to enjoy as a sweet treat. You can add it to your tea, use it in baking, or even take a spoonful to soothe a sore throat.
When it comes to babies, it's best to wait until after their first birthday before introducing honey into their diet. This helps reduce the risk of potential health issues.
