1.Energy Provider - A daily dose of honey will boost the body’s supply of antioxidants, which is essential for protecting the body against free radicals. As honey is a source of natural unrefined sugars and carbohydrates it provides an instant energy boost with long lasting effects.

2.Traditional Remedies - Honey is widely used as an agent whereby medicinal herbs are heated and/or stir-baked with Honey. On its own, honey is widely recognised as a complementary remedy for the relief of coughs, colds, influenza and sore throats. Congestion and insomnia may also be eased by adding honey to various remedies.

3.Antiseptic - Honey is a mild antibiotic and can help to keep small external wounds such as minor cuts and burns clean and free from infection. Modern research has confirmed the ancient belief that honey stops bacteria from growing – especially some strains that are resistant to many antibiotics.

4.Digestive Healer - Honey was first prescribed as a laxative by the Romans for digestive disorders. However, honey has also been used as a treatment for diarrhoea. The principal behind these theories is that the antibacterial properties of honey may destroy certain harmful bacteria in the gullet.

5.Cosmetics - Because of its water retention characteristics, honey is an ideal ingredient for skin and hair beauty products. The Body Shop is an advocate of this usage, as many of their products contain honey as the main ingredient. Many over-the-counter medications also contain honey, including hand and body lotion, shampoo, soap, and lip balm, just to name a few.
