The Healing Powers Of Honey

The work of bees cannot be underestimated.  There are so many conditions that can be soothed with honey.   My mother attributed her health and longevity to honey.  Every day she would have honey for breakfast.  Sadly, honey is under threat as the life of bees is threatended by the pesticides that are sprayed on our crops every year.  Let's hope for a reversal in this and get back to natural sustainable production of crops.

• Certain types of honey, such as Manuka, have been shown to be more effective than antibiotics in the treatment of serious, hard-to-heal skin infections
• The only types of honey you should ever attempt to use for wound care are Manuka honey or raw (unprocessed) honey. Conventional “Grade A” type honey found in most grocery stores may actually worsen infection and should never be applied to wounds
• Clinical trials have found Manuka honey can effectively eradicate more than 250 clinical strains of bacteria, including resistant varieties such as MRSA
