Honey is this amazing, golden, delicious and nutritious nectar that when properly gathered from those precious bee's and properly processed it brings so many healthy options for your life!
First of all honey has so many inflammatory properties that it heals skin conditions like magic! Burns, eczema, cuts are all helped. Acne is another skin issue that honey helps. People used to drive over 100 miles to my organic spa because it helped their skin so much. The spa secret ingredient? Honey! Honey and lavender are beautiful ways to soothe and bathe your aches and troubles away! Honey has been proven to be as effective as the more toxic cough suppressant dextromethorphan found in most over the counter cough medicine.
It works beautifully with lemon to ease a sore throat. Soothe a nervous stomach with ginger and honey. Honey is a beautiful gift to give as a hostess gift. Find local honey for allergies. Drizzle honey over organic cheese for a special dish. The only caution I have for the use of honey is to NOT feed honey to a baby under 2 years of age.
Look for honey that is in the raw state. It will be thicker and crystallized. The honey that is liquid and smooth is filtered and will lose many of the healing properties that make honey so valuable.
Remember those beautiful honey bee's this spring and summer. NEVER use ANY pesticides or herbicides in your garden or on your lawn. Plant some of these beautiful plants to nourish and strengthen those bee's.* Never be afraid of a honey bee. They are mild mannered and gentle. Nourish and protect them and they will continue to give us the gift of Honey for years to come.

Also know that Honey from China has been found to be contaminated with antibiotics and heavy metals and 75% of honey sold in major supermarkets (Walmart, Target) is missing healthy elements of the honey and is untraceable as to the source. It is better to buy honey from local farmers markets, the bee keepers themselves.
