Honey

I knew honey is good. We always have a jar at home. Rasullullah said that honey cures as medicine. My father had given us pure honey whenever we had chesty coughs when we were small. My husband put Manuka honey in tea. Sometimes we gave Manuka honey to our kids when they have chesty cough. This is the benefit of honey as confirmed by researchers particularly on Manuka honey.

Studies of the chemical composition of honey indicate that it has several major health benefits when in an unprocessed state.

· Apply it on the skin, it will act as an antiseptic, prevent infection and protect the area and clean away infectious cells.

· functions as a powerful antibacterial agent because of its high acidity. Its low water activity disallows development of micro organisms.

· when applied to the skin, provoke cellular growth, rising levels of skin collagen, and antioxidant activity

· can work against antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria,

· promote younger, healthier skin, repairing aged or damaged skin tissue

Lets make honey part of out diet.
