Health Benefits of Honey

Honey is a sweet fluid made by honeybees using the nectar of flowering plants. There are about 320 different varieties of honey, which vary in color, odor and flavor.

Honey contains mostly sugar, as well as a mix of amino acids, vitamins, minerals, iron, zinc and antioxidants. In addition to its use as a natural sweetener, honey is used as an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antibacterial agent. People commonly use honey orally to treat coughs and topically to treat burns and promote wound healing. Research has shown evidence in these categories how honey might offer reduced risks of:

Cardiovascular disease: Antioxidants in honey might be associate with reduced risk of heart disease.

Coughs: Studies show that honey can act as a reliable cough suppressant from some people with upper respiratory infections and acute coughs.

Gastrointestinal disease: Honey might help relieve gastrointestinal tract conditions such as diarrhea associated with gastroenteritis. Honey might also be effective as part of oral rehydration therapy.

Neurological disease: Studies suggest honey might offer antidepressant, anticonvulsant and anti-anxiety benefits. In some studies, honey has been shown to help prevent memory disorders.

Wound Care: Topical use of medical-grade honey has been shown to promote wound healing, particularly in burns.
