The benefits of honey:
Honey is known for its miraculous healing properties; experts say it can prevent cancer and heart disease, reduce ulcers, relieve digestive problems, relieve coughs and sore throats, and improve athletic performance. What makes honey antimicrobial? Most bees deposit hydrogen peroxide in honey by synthesizing pollen from flowers. This would explain honey’s ancient role in speeding wound healing and treating stomach problems. In fact, modern science has proven the effectiveness of honey in treating ulcers, burns, skin wounds and inflammation. It is known that honey can even heal wounds that do not respond to antibiotics, but care must be taken that the honey is pure and free of impurities.
Science has also found that darker, more concentrated honey may be more effective, and that the type of plants from which bees produce it affects its antibacterial properties.
However, we must be very careful: honey should never be given to children under one year of age, as the digestive system of newborns is not able to process the impurities contained in honey, such as spores, which can cause potentially lethal poisoning.
