How to Use Honey Medicinally

Long before we "discovered" honey's many medicinal uses, primitive man knew the secret of the bees. Honey has been used as a healer for thousands of years by tribes and natives all over the planet. The sticky, amber-colored bee vomit is antibiotic, antimicrobial, antibacterial and antifungal. It is perfect for many medicinal uses. Honey fights infection and kills antibiotic-resistant microbes and bacteria. Honey never spoils. It may crystallize but, it never goes rancid. Heat it up and no matter how old it is, it will taste as honey should, and be effective in healing.
