Honey Battles Sore Throats and Coughs

Honey has been used for centuries as a common treatment for sore throats and coughs.

However, I suggest that you take honey at least 1 table spoon every other day to boost your immune system. Perhaps it is better to use it as a replacement for sugar in your hot or cold drinks or even in your cooking.

Certified organic honey is for me the best. The honey which has not been heated, can be be far better than those heated or pasteurized. Heated honey can kill the or stabilize the pimocembrin. To date, Pimocembrin can only be found in honey.

Organic honey are those that are found within a radius of three kilometers of all organic crops and uncultivated, non-fertilized areas from the hive. This is simply hard to monitor; and usually buyers would just depend on the label that it is a certified organic honey.

Nutrients and Primocembrin in Honey against Allergies

Honey has nutrients many of us might not know. So what does honey have?

For one, honey has an antioxidant, pimocembrin. As of now, it is said that there in no other known food that contains pimocembrin.

However, pimocembrin is not heat stable; Much of its nutrient value is either diminished or destroyed at high temperatures. So when preparing food with honey, it is always ideal to add honey some few minutes after cooking or heating.

Honey is also very good for the immune system. If you want to build your immune system. Take honey everyday as a replacement for your sugar.

What is best with honey is that it is very effective to combat local allergies. So if you want to combat the local allergy you have, buy honey especially that which is made in your locality.

Honey: Anti-Wrinkle Cosmetics

Honey has really been favored as an anti-aging recently by many cosmetic companies. In fact, some Asians countries used honey like a lotion or cleanser during facial spa treatment.

New York-based skin care manufacturer introduces their first cosmetic product, an anti-aging system containing their signature ingredient, Manuka Honey.

It has been discovered that high doses of healing nutrients found in this honey such as B-vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants, minerals and enzymes play a key role in reversing cell damage and aging.

Free radicals damage collagen fibers responsible for keeping skin firm and tight.
In addition to Manuka Honey, Honeymark's Anti-Wrinkle Serum contains other valuable anti-aging ingredients, such as Matrixyl, Retinol and Collagen.

Retinol also increases skin cell turnover and exfoliation, drastically reducing age spots and blotches on the skin.

It stimulates the formation of new collagen fibrils, leading to skin regeneration.


Honey is really very useful.

Tasting Honey Like Tasting Wine

Brookfield Farm is now bringing together the honeys made by five local beekeepers, and offering them all at its booth at the Washington Specialty Honeys.

The idea came with the thought that consumers would be interested in the diversity of natural flavors produced by smaller apiaries,

Tasting honey (is) like wine tasting, each apiary's honey is a unique taste that changes from year to year depending on the flowers and the weather.

I never thought of this before that tasting honey is just like wine tasting. Well---actually I love wine too the way I love honey.

Nevertheless, it will be great to have a chance to taste different honey makers' products.

Honey is really beneficial to our health.

Breading Cleaner Bees to Protect Hives

It is always good to be grateful to scientist who can help keep honeybees to produce honey. I just love honey.

A British scientist is hoping to reverse the critical decline of the honeybee by breeding cleaner bees to protect hives from potentially devastating diseases.

Francis Ratnieks, the UK's only professor of apiculture, is undertaking pioneering research based on a breed of worker bee genetically programmed to keep hives clean.

Ratnieks's research concentrates on breeding queens from the same father line as the most hygienic worker bees.

These eggs turn into baby mites.

Stuart Bailey, chairman of Rowse Honey, is committing £100,000 to the project.

We totally support the British Beekeepers' Association campaign for £8m emergency funding from Defra over the next five years.

Honey, honey, honey... all but honey.

I Love Honey and Now the Honey Bees Amazed Me


I love having honey for my diet. But I am also amazed by what the researchers claim that honey bees learn how to count. I am wondering if they indeed are counting or are they just perhaps using their sensors to identify them. Well---I am not a researcher but I do want to know more of these fascinating creatures.

An Australian and a Swedish researcher say they have proved honey bees are more intelligent than previously thought.

Professor Mandyam Srinivasan from Queensland University and Dr Marie Dacke trained honey bees to count by placing food at different markers.

Professor Srinivasan says he has also found bees can learn colours and smells and be trained to fly through complicated mazes.

"The more we look at these creatures that have a brain the size of a sesame seed, the more astonished we are," he said.

"They really have a lot of the capacities that we so-called higher human beings possess."

The scientists also say they have proved honey bees can count to four.

The put five markers inside a tunnel and placed nectar at one of them.

When honey bees were put in the tunnel, they flew to the marker with the food.

Professor Srinivasan says when the experiment was repeated without nectar the bees still flew to the marker that had contained the food.

"We find that if you train them to the third stripe, they will look subsequently in the third stripe," he said.

'If you train them to the fourth stripe, they will look in the fourth stripe and so on.

"But their ability to count seems to go only up to four. They can't count beyond four."

So they end up to four counts. That is because they only have brains as small as a sesame seed perhaps.

An Organic Beverage Made of Honey

A new beverage of four flavors is just what we need to replace some of our energy drinks. Honey is said to boost the immune system. I am anxious to taste this honey drink; this time it is no longer quenching our thirst. It is boosting immune systems.

Deluxe Honeydrop Launches New Honey-Infused Organic Beverage in Four Flavors. It is a leading producer of honey-infused waters. The company’s first line of premium beverages, in conjunction with the Natural Product Expo East trade show in Boston.

Containing only 80 calories per 16.9 oz bottle, Deluxe Honeydrop comes in four exciting flavors: Bee Good (apple), Bee Alive (blood orange), Bee Calm (chamomile) and Bee Strong (blueberry).

Luks chose organic honey as the company’s prime ingredient for multiple reasons. The glucose in honey burns fast for instant energy, while the fructose burns slower for lasting energy.

Sweet Honey for Health

Not all sweet is unhealthy. Honey is sweet, but it has many benefits to our health.

Honey is composed of sugars like glucose and fructose, as well as minerals like magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium chlorine, sulphur, iron, and phosphate.

It also contains chemicals that are capable of killing viruses, bacteria and fungi, making it a good substitute for wound dressing.

It helps kidneys and intestines to function better. Honey helps in cleansing blood and has positive effects on the regulation of blood circulation. Honey helps to improve appetite, especially in children. Honey has been found to be beneficial to those suffering from anaemia, asthma, baldness, fatigue and exhaustion, headache and migraine, high blood pressure and insect bites.

Make honey part of your diet.

Manuka Honey for Beauty and Health

MANUKA HONEY’S international notoriety stems have the ability to treat a wide spectrum of health conditions, both internally and topically on the skin.

Manuka Honey is even efficacious enough to eradicate Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) and other antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. In addition to its medicinal qualities, Manuka Honey is also drawing attention to itself as a cosmetic ingredient.

Its antibacterial properties eliminate infections that cause red marks, boils, and pimples. Honeybees use this nectar to produce Manuka Honey. Bee farmers in New Zealand put their hives within close proximity to Manuka trees so that the bees only use its nectar to manufacture their honey.

"In many cases, active Manuka Honey has proven to be more effective than traditional forms of medicine," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International.

Honey for Burns

Honey has been amazing both in its taste and healing properties. I take honey almost everyday because I believe in its benefits.

Natural honey can heal burns more quickly than some standard dressing treatments, a study has shown.

"We're treating these results with caution, but it looks like honey can help speed up healing in some burns," said chief researcher Dr Andrew Jull, from the University of Auckland, New Zealand.

Honey has been used to treat wounds since ancient times. How it works is unclear, but it appears to fight infection and help the body remove dead tissue. Although honey benefited burns, the researchers could find no reliable evidence that it aided recovery from grazes, lacerations, surgical wounds or leg ulcers.

Dr Jull said: Health services should invest in treatments that have been shown to work. The findings were published by the Cochrane Library, which provides systematic reviews of research studies.

Just the food for the gods!

Tasmanian Leatherwood Honey: an Excellent Product

It is always good to find better products for health. To discredit the other is not the motive; but to improve quality for better living is a must we should try to meet. Here is an update:
A Tasmanian leatherwood honey producer is about to start challenging New Zealand's honey industry for the top spot in the premium medicinal honey market.

Launceston company, Australian Honey Products, is testing its honey for medicinal properties, and managing director, Lindsay Bourke, says much of his leatherwood honey is proving to be better than New Zealand's manuka (mah-NOO-kuh).

Mr Bourke says he's been talking with buyers from all over the world at a major organic trade fair in Japan.

"We always thought it was a terrible little honey, called manuka or leptospermum, and for many years we were ringing each other and saying you can't go up there are get your leatherwood yet, because that horrible manuka honey is still flowering," he says. "But now we know it isn't horrible manuka, it's an excellent product.

Honey for Sore Throats

Anyone who has suffered with a sore throat during cold and flu season might find a honey-based organic throat drop a sweet idea. According to the World Health Organization, tens of millions of people contract influenza every winter, and even more catch the common cold. Organic honey drops, such as Bee M.D., taste sweet and smooth like the honey from which they are created without the harsh medicinal taste of other name-brand drops. When used in throat drops, honey can ward off cold symptoms naturally.

Bees play a vital role, acting as pollinators for flowers, trees, fruits and crops. With every purchase, the company donates money to protecting endangered bees.

Honey and Its Nutrients

Honey has many health benefits as well as it is very pleasurable to taste.

What is honey made up of?

Honey has elements of glucose and fructose. It has minerals like potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium chlorine, iron and phosphate. This food of the gods contain vitamins B, which highly recommended for those having nerve problems. I remember my doctor told me to take food and vitamin with B complex after that terrible car accident since my left face was partly paralyzed. Honey contain these vitamins B1, B2, C, B6, B5 and B3. However, the quality of nectar and pollen has more to do with the levels of the vitamins B that honey can give. Iodine, zinc, and copper can also be found in honey though in small quantity.

Since honey is very good in boosting the immune system, it is a very good prevention for allergies and common colds.

Organic Natural Honey

Honey is nutritional as well as pleasing to our taste buds. It's healing wonders have been known throughout the ages. For generations honey has been savored as the food of the gods. Honey has been thought to cure all illnesses; this is because honey can boost our immune system to fight against illnesses.
