Honey Health Benefits

Honey is nature’s remedy that has been used for thousands of years as a tasty food and also in traditional medicine.  Nowadays honey is becoming more and more important, because unlike antibiotics it has no known resistance.

Providing a variety of vitamins, minerals, trace elements and enzymes, honey helps to nourish the skin giving it a natural glow. Active honey contains anti-bacterial qualities which could help heal the skin, making it useful for spots and blemishes.

Nutritionist Deepali Shah Katira says,

“Honey is nature's remedy that has been used for thousands of years as a tasty food and also in traditional medicine. There are many different types of honey, but only some have proven activity.”
