Some of you Earth’s Enrichers know the secret of the hive and others, well, you have just unknowingly stumbled upon it. Honey is the holy grail of holy grails. We bet that some of you make tea and, instead of lumping sugar into it, use honey to bring out the sweetness. If you have not tried honey instead of sugar, we suggest you grab some green tea and try it– it couldn’t hurt.
We mean it, it couldn’t hurt. A teaspoon of raw honey is equal to about 64 fat-free, sodium-free, cholesterol-free calories– Honey, you’ve definitely got it! And get this, honey is more than a sweetener, it’s a preserver– an antibacterial, anti-fungal preserver. Buying a jar of honey seems like a good investment if you ask us. Not only does this precious substance have a great shelf life and offer a health-conscious alternative to sugar, it helps to preserve memories, create energy, suppress coughs, relieve allergies, and much more.
Studies have shown that honey can help boost memories, so having a spoonful every now and again could make you all the wiser. While preserving your memory, you can help suppress that little cough you may have and sleep better at night– multitasking the healthy way! Honey is the go-to-guy for everything– both in internal (as in allergies, coughing, sleep, and energy) and external (treating wounds, burns, sores, dandruff, and infections) health.
The EE 411: Honey – Rules of the Hive
After hearing about all the great secrets of the hive, are you surprised that we put honey in select products? It was one of the best ideas we’ve ever had. Honey Granola Bar Soap was designed to replenish your skin with a silky cleansing that removes dead skin. The point, ladies and gentlemen, is that it leaves your skin feeling soft, supple and replenished. If you don’t believe us yet, you can also try our Honey Vanilla Lip Balm. How much better can it get? The very same ingredients that you can eat together, Oatmeal and Honey, can be used to make your skin healthy. It’s a natural and healthy win and there is no secret in that!
As always, we encourage you to do your own research and learn what is best for your skin. Honey, although great for your skin, comes with its own set of precautions like all natural and organic things. Honey in its raw state can contain certain dirts and bacterias that aren’t harmful to us but can be rough on babies, so please wait at least a year until you try honey on your kiddos to suppress their coughs. That way they can build up enough immunity. Additionally, in some cases, using honey on your skin can feel a tad discomforting similar to a light stinging sensation. If that is the case, we suggest you stop using the honey and ask a dermatologist.
Another aspect is a honey allergy, which doesn’t happen all too often but if you find that you are allergic, it may be due to pollen found in the honey. Overuse of honey could also lead to the drying out of skin tissue, so be very stingy with how you use this golden substance– you don’t necessarily want the Midas touch. Last but certainly not least, if you’re an individual with diabetes you do not want to place any honey directly on your wounds because it may cause your glucose level to rise.
Always know yourself, and be prepared when trying out new things. If you have any concerns, call a professional and pick his/her brain just to be safe. I hope we provided you with some awesome info– until next time!
