Honey is one of the oldest health foods and has recently been the subject of many scientific health studies. Our Certified Naturally Grown honey is not heated during the extraction process and therefore also possesses the benefits of raw honey. Read on to learn more about honey’s unique health benefits.
Honey is scientifically proven to be an effective cough suppressant and soothing to sore throat symptoms. Honey’s wide range of applications is largely due to its antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant properties. The antibacterial and antifungal qualities make it beneficial for skin and scalp care, and wound and ulcer care. Antioxidants and flavonoids have been linked to reducing the risk of heart disease and certain cancers. Thus, honey is also considered beneficial in preventing these diseases. Consuming raw, local honey can help reduce seasonal allergies. Pollen spores from local plants incorporated into the honey will act as immune system boosters. This helps with overall immune system strengthening as well as specifically reducing the body’s allergic response.
Honey is a natural sugar and therefore provides a slow-release, bioavailable form of energy which has multiple health benefits. Honey’s steady supply of glycogen can act as an energy boost for athletes and aids in blood sugar stabilization. Individuals living with diabetes, struggling with regular sleep patterns, and weight loss can benefit greatly from a more stable blood sugar level. Honey is a natural option with multiple applications and health benefits for individuals looking towards a more holistic approach to wellness.
