Honey’s healing properties
Honey is considered to be a natural antibiotic, which bactericidal inhibin and hydrogen peroxide contribute to. They fight staphylococcus aureus and streptococcus responsible for tooth decay. Thanks to glucose, it stimulates brain cells to work.
Honey also shows other medicinal properties. It mainly accelerates wound healing. It should also be used by persons suffering from digestive tract problems – stomach ulcers and diarrhea. Thanks to its healing properties, honey lowers blood pressure and inhibits atherosclerotic processes.

How to recognize real honey?
It becomes more and more difficult to buy real honey – and if one does not have a befriended beekeeper, it is even very difficult. First of all, one should check the country of origin. If the label informs that the jar contains a blend of honeys from EU countries and other, then it is better to put it back on the shelf. It is the best to choose products from Polish apiaries.
Honey may also be recognized by its taste, although tasting is quite difficult in a shop. Apart from the sweet feeling, true honey leaves a light burning sensation in the mouth as well as gentle scratching in the throat.
