Health Benefits of Raw Honey
It's most renowned for its
ulcer-treating properties
, but has other therapeutic effects as well such as: Antibacterial and antioxidant effects, immuno-stimulating properties, a tonic action as well as other digestive benefits. In order to enjoy its beneficial action, the honey has to be
raw and unprocessed.
What is honey good for?
This variety is said to boast numerous therapeutic uses, from offering digestive relief to promoting nervous system relaxation and improving various symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections in particular. Here are 6 wonderful proposed health benefits of honey:
1)
Natural remedy for gastritis and stomach ulcer
.
Honey has been traditionally recommended for the management and treatment of both gastritis and stomach ulcers. Both the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory elements in the honey and its consistency are believed to encourage the healing of the stomach lining and soothe irritation, hence the supposed effectiveness. The natural sugars in the honey boast mild pre-biotic properties, helping feed the good bacteria in our intestines, contributing to an overall better digestion.
2)
Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory action
.
Honey is known to possess mild natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Its action is primarily local, hence the reason why it can help in the treatment of upper respiratory tract infections like colds or flu and help improve their symptoms. Studies show a preparation of honey with a 40% concentration can efficiently inhibit the growth of antibiotic-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus
, while royal jelly together with rapeseed honey are even more efficient (
Reduction Effect of Royal Jelly and Honey Alone and in Combination Against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Strains
). The pollen in honey also has mild immuno-modulating effects, stimulating the immune system response.
3)
Calms cough and soothes a sore throat
.
Eating raw honey can help reduce sore throat discomfort and possibly calm cough due to the honey's natural antibacterial and soothing properties. It is recommended to avoid eating and drinking anything for about an hour after taking honey to allow it to exert its action.
4)
Source of vitamins and minerals
.
Research shows that honey contains a wide variety of essential nutrients, particularly dietary minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, calcium and magnesium as well as smaller amounts of zinc and sodium
. Heating the honey can cause the nutrients in it to deteriorate, especially vitamin C.
5)
Natural tonic action
.
Like all honey types, this variety contains small amounts of all sorts of nutrients, from vitamins and minerals
to pollen particles, antioxidant compounds and other elements, all of which contribute to its tonic effect.
6)
Good for uneven skin and acne
.
Light-colored honeys can be used as a natural face mask for uneven skin tone. It is an especially good natural exfoliator
due to its consistency and can help unclog pores, reduce sebum and clean the face of impurities, potentially helping reduce acne breakouts (if used consistently). This variety may hold other skin benefits as well, such as calm irritation or make skin brighter, more radiant.
Other supposed health benefits
. Honey is said to exert a hepatoprotective action, helping maintain liver health and, indirectly, detoxify the body of toxins. It is also believed to possess mild sedative, relaxing or sleep-encouraging properties by regulating the activity of certain neurotransmitters in the brain. Certain enzymes in the honey are believed to be good for bone health and osteoporosis. However, such benefits have yet to be confirmed.
Honey is suited to many uses. Its most prized therapeutic properties include a natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory action, cough relief, eliminating sore throat discomfort, tonic properties as well as gastritis and stomach ulcer management. But irrespective of the individual action of the honey, for it to have any therapeutic effect or preserve its unique taste profile, it has to be raw, unheated and unprocessed in any way.
