Scientists have studied the effects of increasing individuals antioxidant levels through diet. Honey acts as an antioxidant in more ways than one. In the body, honey can take up free radicals and contribute to better health. This is just one reason for the health benefits of eating honey.
My Experiences of the Health Benefits of Honey
I'd like to share with you some of the Health Benefits of Honey I and my family have benefited from over the years.
I remember my parents giving me healthy honey and lemon as a hot comforting drink if I had a cold because they told me it was good for me and would improve my health. And sometimes we would have honey on our toast or pancakes for the same reason, it was good for me. I’m sure there are many of you reading this who have done the very same thing.
I carried this tradition on with my own children, again for exactly the same reasons. But that was it, I didn't know about all the Health Benefits of Honey........then........yet!
It was only when my youngest daughter who was a severe asthmatic, covered in excema and was constantly being pumped full of man made chemical medicines and smothered in them, so much so it caused us all a great deal of concern.
The Power Of Natural Cures
I set about researching natural cures and low and behold it was not long before I discovered all the incredible Health Benefits of Honey. It was like opening a magic box, I was blown away with this new found knowledge and wanted to know more and more about healing honey.
Over the past few years my interest in the benefits of honey in particular the health benefits of honey, has led me on a journey, a fascinating one and one I would love to share with you.
I discovered the real benefits of eating honey and developed this huge passion I have for it today.
Until I discovered all the Health Benefits of Honey I was completely ignorant of its health benefits, I only remembered from my childhood being told that honey was good for me.
I did not know that it contains:
- every vitamin
- every mineral
- every essential ingredient including water
we need to sustain life and keep us healthy. How cool is that!

Cured My Daughter
My daughter was such a regular in our local hospital wards the doctors and nurses knew her almost as well as me! They would greet her with "Hi Hayley, which bed would you like to sleep in this time"?
Now most mothers know there is nothing like a mother's intuition and by now, beside myself with worry I had decided to go with mine.
This is how I first discovered the Health Benefits of Honey and its capabilities of healing us all.
We experimented discovering other fun ways we could include the benefits of honey into our daily diets by inventing new exciting healthy honey recipes for our food and drinks.
Every morning and evening my children became used to having a spoonful of healthy honey which they actually enjoyed because it tastes so sweet and its lovely with cinnamon too.
It stopped them craving candy and sweets thus cutting out all those little E Number nasties. Extremely helpful are the benefits of eating honey!
Honey and Excema
I also started to dress Hayley's excema with honey and Propolis, What is Propolis? (another product from the hive and is found in honey) instead of those awful steroid creams. We would add some honey to her bathwater which helped to soften her skin and then I would dab healing honey and Propolis onto her excema and bandage her up like a little mummie!
I found it best to do this otherwise the honey would make a bit of a mess on her clothes and bedding.
Yet another benefit of honey was it doesn't stick to the skin like other dressings so was not painful for her each time I changed them.
I often wonder how ancient medicine was applied to the skin. Shame on whoever invented the sticking plaster!
Her excema actually disappeared completely within two weeks because of healing honey.
We were amazed and I'm ashamed to admit I should have had more faith but please remember, this was still a new learning curve for me at the time.
Of course I was very careful not to let her outside covered in honey; after all, although she was being cured naturally she did run the risk of being stung.
Honey and Asthma
Every three months we would attend the asthma clinic and the next time we went the staff were amazed, this was after two months of trying the Health Benefits of Honey with the benefits of Propolis included. The medical staff could hardly believe how Hayley's overall health and breathing had improved, when they listened to her chest and back with their stethoscope's they could not hear any of the wheezing that had always been there before.
She was stronger and healthier than she had ever been in her whole three years of life. In fact we all were as a family.
We all had loads more energy than ever before all due to the benefits of honey.
Three months later Hayley no longer used her inhalers, she didn't need them. The medical staff were quite cross and advised us against this but I just told them how healing honey and Propolis had cured her naturally. I still smile when I think back to this tiny little thing swallowing those Propolis capsules, they seemed so big then but she knew they were doing her good by improving her health and she never made a fuss.
She would swallow them with a spoonful of healthy honey anyway which helped the medicine go down smoothly.
The hospital staff really couldn't argue too much with me. Although some of them quietly asked how I had achieved this remarkable change in Hayley and I just explained to them the Health Benefits of Honey and of course Propolis.
Hayley by the way, is now a happy and healthy eighteen year old excited about having just started at University. I believe this to be largely due to the Health Benefits of Honey.
Not all honey is healthy
Oh No, there are many fakes out there!
Treat yourself to a really good healthy honey such as raw honey or alternatively an organic honey to truly benefit from the Health Benefits of Honey.You may like to take a look at the types of honey there are available to us. Choose your honey wisely, if nothing else has been added artificially then it is a good one.
There are many, many more Health Benefits of Honey; some are blended with other totally natural ingredients such as:
I am a great fan of both honey and Propolis however, there are many who swear by the use of other natural health medicines and food sources which they blend with their healing honey such as the natural foods above and lovely lemon.
Personal choice I suppose, like most things.
However you choose to include healthy honey into your daily life you will feel fitter, healthier and less ill than ever before and all because of the Health Benefits of Honey.
Why not write to me with your experiences, I would love to read them.
Ancient Medicine
Honey as medicine and for health has been known for thousands of years, it is actually Ancient Medicine enjoying a revival. Honey contains vital vitamins such as B1, B2, B3, B5 and C and vital minerals including Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Potassium, Phosphates, Sulphur, Sodium Chloride and Zinc.

Luckily for us healing honey is being used frequently now as both a benefit to our health and as a medicine as we become more immune to man-made antibiotics.
All forms of bacteria need water to survive and the natural sugars in healing honey simply kill them off. Honey can even keep your eyes healthy.
