Honey has been used as remedy for hundreds of ills, including as a gargle and as topical treatment for sores and wounds. Modern research lends support for this use in statistical findings and in isolation of antimicrobial and antifungal compounds. Most of the antibacterial activities of honey are lost after heating or prolonged exposure to sunlight. There has been successful use of honey in treating Helicobacter pylori , burns, wound disruption in cesarean-section patients, senile cataracts, and corneal opacities.

Honey also offers incredible antiseptic, antioxidant and cleansing properties for our body and health, hot beauty and skin care tips for ladies, and amazing healing properties as a head-to-toe remedy, from eye conjunctivitis to athlete foot. Its powerful healing attributes have long been used thousands of years ago and known to promote healing for cuts, cure ailments and diseases, and correct health disorders for generations after generations.

 

Infections & Wound Healing


Honey was as effective as standard medications in treating wounds due to its antibacterial and antiseptic. Always consult a doctor before using honey to treat wounds.

Cough


Honey as the best remedy to treat the symptoms of nocturnal cough and the sleep disorders associated with respiratory tract infections. The study recommends honey as an effective alternative treatment for cough in all children older than 1 year old.

Cancer


Some animal studies, such as the one published in February 2005 edition of "Journal of Science of Food and Agriculture," have demonstrated that oral administration of honey inhibits the formation of tumors in animals, especially if it is given before injecting the cancer cells. However, these results have not been shown in actual clinical cases and more research is needed before replacing cancer medications with honey.
