Honey is Good for You

The use of honey as a medicine is recorded in many ancient writings, some sumerian clay tablets estimated to be around 4000 years old mentioned honey as a medicine. Some Egyptian papyri including the Ebers Papyrus written in about 1700 BC mentioned many uses of honey as medicine for internal diseases, as external surgical dressing, for burns, ulcers and inflammation of the eyes.

Hippocrats (460 - 357 BC) used many of the Egyptian prescriptions. He used honey to clean sores and ulcers of the lips, healed carbuncies and running sores with honey. Celsius stated in De Medica that psysicians must heal in a safe, quick and pleasing manner and all these coud be achieved with honey.

No food equals honey as a fuel for the body. It is predigested by bees and is directly assimilable without tasking the digestive organs, it is ideal for people of weak constitution, honey has beneficial effect on indigestion, colitis and acidity. When fever attacks and it is difficult to digest food, honey serves the purpose of preserving energy.

According to Dr. J.H. Kellogg, honey is an ideal food during heart and liver disorders, if honey is given in warm water, it serves the purpose of brandy or spirit of ammonia in the case of weakness of the heart or in hysteria.

Because of the anti bacterial properties of honey, germs do not survive in stored honey consequently it serves as a natural preservative.
