The Healing Powers of Honey


The medical benefits of honey have been known for a long time. We all know how good it tastes, but most people don't realize the importance of it's topical applications. The next time a bee stings you, spread on a little honey. "Honey is very acidic (antibacterial), and it produces its own hydrogen peroxide when combined with the fluid which drains from a wound. The extremely high sugar content of honey means it contains very little water. So, it draws the pus and fluid from the wound, thereby speeding the healing process. Furthermore, the honey contains powerful germ-fighting phytochemicals from the plants that produced the pollen harvested by the honeybees".
