Jarrah Honey is
|
This is an extremely rare tree whose roots penetrate so far into the soil it doesn’t have much trouble re-growing if there were to be a forest fire or severe drought. Its name actually derives from the Aboriginal term for tree.
It has incredibly high antibacterial, antimicrobial properties and as a a healing honey, when applied to damp skin or eaten is capable of producing very high natural hydrogen peroxide activity.
If you are lucky enough to be able to purchase some for your own use, this article will help to give you some great tips on how to use it. And I will guide you to other articles sent to me by readers who have shared their own stories with me.
It is claimed to have a low glucose level but much a higher fructose level than many other honeys. Because of this, it is even suitable for some diabetics, who must always be careful with their sugar levels but should not be denied and able to enjoy many types of honey.
Just as Manuka honey has what is known as UMF which means Unique Manuka Factor, Jarrah honey is tested and branded with TA which stands for Total Activity.
The higher the TA the more healing it will be. I am getting feedback from some of my lovely readers who have also used Jarrah honey as eye drops for Healthy Eyes.
It has been used very successfully in treating all types of staphylococcal infections which can occur on our skin and even cause blood poisoning if they enter our systems through something as simple as a cut.
This honey would be an excellent choice to use for skin infections, even boils and the dreaded Impetigo which can run rife in children.
And if you found yourself to be a victim of food poisoning, swallowing this is likely to have you feeling better in no time at all. Never underestimate the power of a really good honey such as this one.
This can be quite a thick but clear honey which is similar in texture to Manuka honey. It is not particularly sweet compared to many other honeys and can be quite a dark brown color. Wow, they certainly make good honey varieties in Australia!
The color and taste will always vary from year to year mainly due to weather conditions and there are times when this particular honey will be lighter and runnier in both texture and taste.
It can taste a little like eucalyptus because the nectar collected by the bees actually comes from a tree which is related to the eucalyptus family.
If you allow it to just melt on your tongue you will experience a lovely caramel aftertaste which is what we expect each time we have a taste of honey.
This honey has been tested thoroughly on open wounds which have healed far more quickly than by using those steroid based creams and potions doctors so love to prescribe.
It is also highly recommended for its benefits of eating honey, due to its ability to kill off so many antibiotic resistant organisms.
I recommend reading this media report. which explains in great detail the research carried out into its healing properties.
During my own research into this unique honey I discovered this has been used to cure sick horses who suffer what is known as "Sand Colic"
This is where they have swallowed a lot of sand that sits in their stomachs which they cannot easily pass. It can be fatal.
By adding Jarrah honey to their feed which contains bran it passes naturally through their intestines working far better than normally prescribed treatments.
What an interesting honey this is, have you tried it? Why not share your own experiences with us, we would love to read them.
