Let me brief some of the major benefits of honey:
Heal your heart diseases and cancer with honey
The antioxidants and flavonoids in the-oldest-golden-sweetener help fight against cancer and heart diseases. Raw honey is best for medicinal use.
The darker the honey, the more are the antioxidants in it.

Even though honey is sweet, but it is not same as normal white sugar or any artificial sweet syrup. The combination of fructose and glucose present in honey helps the body to regulate the sugar level.

Use it for Cough medicine:
A cough is a real irritating disease that doesn’t even allow you a proper sleep. In winters, if my adorable toddler feels discomfort due to the cold and cough, I just take some honey on your finger and allow the little one to lick it.
I use it for adults also, a simple home remedy can help relief from cough. Take some fresh ginger juice, a spoonful of honey and black pepper; mix well and eat slowly. If required take lukewarm water only.
Healing wounds and burns:
Honey is the best home remedy as it has some natural properties like antiseptic, antibacterial and antimicrobial. Applying a layer of honey after cleaning the wound is a very fast way to heal wound and cut, this method is being used since the medical facilities were not much developed because it keeps the affected area infection free and reduces odor and pus. Moreover, it reduces the pain within minutes which is a big relief for the patient. Raw honey is the best.
