Honey is basically a substitute for white sugar and it is used as a natural sweetener. Bees collect Nectar from flowers and make this into a food called Honey to feed the Queen and all the workers in the beehive. But the Bees will always make more Honey then what they can use and a Beekeeper will make a living on the extra Honey that is made.
What a lot of people do not know is that Honey is a Super Food not only for Bees but for people also. It was created for man by the Gods. In the scriptures God would lead the good people to a choice land that was " Flowing with Milk and Honey " and what did John the Baptist eat while he was living in the wilderness? The Lord provided him with Locust and Honey. Honey is really a Liquid Gold that comes from the Gods and believe it or not Honey has a lot of Medical Properties that is worth more then it's weight in Gold. These Medical Properties are as follows:
1. Honey Is Great For Colds And A Sore Throat.
To overcome a Cold, make a " Hot Tottie ". The directions is very simple. Fill up a glass with Hot water and add a tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar and a tablespoon of Honey. Then add the juice from a half of a Lemon. Stir this well until the Honey is mixed in, then slowly drink this mixture. Two or three of these Hot Totties will kiss a Cold good-by. If you have a Sore Throat then you could gargle with this Hot Tottie before you swallow it. If you would like to double the method of curing a Sore Throat then gargle with Hydrogen Peroxide before going to bed and leave the foam in your throat all night long. Do not rinse your mouth out with water. Most generally the Sore throat will be gone by morning. Spit out the Hydrogen Peroxide when you are done gargling.
2. We All Get Coughs From Time To Time.
And we would like to take something that will stop that cough. Swallowing a teaspoon of Honey will help to stop a cough. Children love this method because it is sweet. If one teaspoon of Honey fails to stop a cough then try a second teaspoon full. For a nagging cough I will gargle with the Hydrogen Peroxide and again I will leave the form in my throat all night long. I am able to get more sleep at night using this method. Try the Honey first and then if you are not happy with it you could try the Hydrogen Peroxide.
3. Keep A Small Honey Bear On Your Kitchen Shelf At All Times.
You can snip off the end of the Honey Bear lid so that the Honey can flow out in droplets. This is very soothing for all kinds of wounds and sores. Wash the wound first with soap and water and then put a drop or two of the Honey onto the wound followed by a bandage. Honey is a natural Germ fighter and it will help to keep the wound clean as well as to make it heal up much faster. It is wise to put a Honey Bear into your First-Aid Kit also for Wounds and Burns.
4. Honey Is Very Soothing To All Burns.
Honey will draw the Heat out from any Burn and it is also good for both 2nd and 3rd degree Burns. A second degree Burn will blister up and a third degree Burn is when the flesh is burnt real bad. On these kinds of Burns you need to see a Doctor as soon as possible.
A mid-western Doctor from the USA was on vacation and his son had 3rd degree Burns. A lot of Honey was available. This Doctor applied the Honey in large amounts to the 3rd degree Burns and when the Burns healed there was no red scars. When the Doctor returned to work he made sure that the hospital had plenty of Honey to be used on those who had Burns.
For minor Burns and sunburns put Yellow Mustard onto it. You will not have that prickly feeling on the back of your neck when you sleep at night with the Mustard on it. The juice from the Aloe Vera Plant is also soothing to minor Burns and so is Apple Cider Vinegar or Vitamin E Oil. Then of course you can always put Honey on a Sunburn.
5. Do You Have Bed Wetters In Your Family ?
Some Adults have this problem also. Before a child goes to bed give then a teaspoon of Honey. This will greatly strengthen the Bladder. Better then this and you will double the effect, give the child or Adults four or more fluid ounces of pure Cranberry Juice with a teaspoon of Honey mixed in it. This combination will give the child a dry night. But also remember that no milk is to be drank after 4pm and no water can be drank after 6pm. For Adults with a bed wetting problem no beer after 6pm. But it is OK to drink pure Cranberry Juice after 6pm mixed with Honey.
One lady claimed that regular Honey did not help her but when she used Honey that was made from Orange Blossoms, It gave her the help that she needed. I believe Honey made from Blueberry or Blackberry flowers will also give you good results. Also Honey that is made from any of the fruit tree blossoms, this would work very effectively.
6. Do You Have An Asthma Or A Hay Fever Problem ?
Buy some Honey from a local Beekeeper. This is Honey coming from the local flowers that are growing in your area. When spring is coming and the leaves are growing on the trees, start taking a teaspoon of this Honey every morning. This will help to control Hay Fever, and it will help you also when Pollen is all over in the air. I have had many people tell me that taking this local Honey once or twice a day does really control Asthma and Hay Fever. Try it!! It is much better then having a runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing all day. You will be joyfully singing " Oh What A Relieve It Is ! ".
7. Honey Will Destroy The Dangerous Free Radicals In Our Bodies.
We need all the protection we can get when some foods we take will kill off the Free Radicals. Any Garden Grown vegetable that is eaten fresh or any Fresh Fruit and whole grains will kill off the Dangerous Free Radicals. Always remember to eat the colors of the Rainbow in the way of fruits and vegetables everyday. This will give you the protection that you need each day. Canned vegetables and fruits that is eaten will not kill off Free Radicals.
8. Honey Is Rich In Anti-Oxidants.
And because it is an All-Natural Sweetener, it will help to bring balance to our bodies. This means it will prevent Cancer Cells from growing in our bodies. Believe it or not, the white flour and white sugar that we all eat, this will NOT bring a balance to our bodies and they both will allow Cancer cells to grow. I am not saying that these two will cause Cancer but they will not stop Cancer from growing like the Honey does. Honey will stop Cancer or it will make it go Dormant and we all need this kind of protection.
9. Honey Is A Natural Form Of Energy.
Honey is good for all Athletes and people who do a lot of hard work all day long. It provides strength throughout the whole body.
10. Honey is good for wounds that went unhealed for a long period of time. Honey that is put onto that wound will make it heal.
11. Hospitals from all over the world are using Honey for hundreds of cases and the success rate is excellent. It is used for Surgical Wounds, Bed Sores, Ulcers, Abrasions, All kinds of Wounds and it is great on all Burns.
12. Using Honey On Wounds And Burns Will Prevent Scaring.
It reduces the swelling and it even encourages the skin to regrow on it's own. It does not irritate your Body Tissues and it is painless to apply or to remove it.
13. Honey Is A Natural Antiseptic.
It will say Good-By to all Bacteria and Germs that it comes in contact with. Believe it or not Honey produces it's own Hydrogen Peroxide and it slowly releases it into the wound and that is why all wounds will heal up much faster. It is spelling Doom to Bacteria and Germs for several hours. Eating the Honey will also kill Bacteria on the insides of our bodies. Eating Honey on a piece of bread will make the Honey last longer in our systems.
Wow! This is something we can eat that taste sweet and it will kill all kinds of Bacteria, Germs and most forms of Cancer. This in it's self will make you want to eat more Honey and you will leave the White Sugar completely alone. Honey is even killing Bacteria when powerful Antibiotics can't seem to handle it.
14. Some Honeys Are More Potent Healers Then Others Are.
One source says that the darker the Honey is the more effective are the Medical Properties. Most of the Honey that is sold in stores is called White Cover Honey. This is used for all your cooking needs and it does have all the Medical Properties. But the Honey that is made from Blueberries, Blackberries, Sorghum and Buckwheat, this is a much darker Honey. Most generally the Honey that comes from fruit flowers like Oranges, Apples, Apricots, Peaches, Grapes and Cherries, this Honey is much stronger in Medical Properties then that of other Honeys but they are not a dark Honey.
There is a famous Honey that comes from New Zealand. This Honey is made from the flowers on the Manuka Bush and it is called " Manuka Honey ". It is well known all over the world for it's Potent Medical Properties. It can be bought at most health food stores but the price is generally 50 Dollars or more per pound. You can also order it on the Internet. Just punch in " Manuka Honey ".
Also there is a Honey that comes from Ghana, South Africa that is as dark as Molasses but I have no idea as to how much this Honey cost nor do I know as to where you can buy this dark Honey. I do know that some people in Salt Lake City, Utah in the USA are trying to buy this dark Honey from several sources in Ghana but it is not yet sold on the market.
Also many Honey companies sell a Wild Flower Honey that is very dark in color. At least it is much darker the regular clover Honey. This Honey cost about 20 Dollars or more for five pounds and Buckwheat Honey cost about the same.
CAUTION!!!!
If you are a Diabetic, talk to your Doctor before you eat any Honey. Some Diabetics can eat Honey while others can not. Also go see a Doctor or go to a Hospital if a wound looks really bad. It is OK to cover a wound with Honey before seeing a Doctor. The Doctor will wipe the wound clean, disinfect it and then dress it up with a Bandage.
But to everyone else Honey is a Super Food in many ways and as the Title up above says:
" It Is A Liquid Gold Sent To Us From The Gods ".
