♠♥ Life is the flower for which love is the honey. ~ Victor Hugo ♥♠
Honey bees transform nectar into honey by a process of regurgitation and evaporation. They store it as a primary food source in wax honeycombs inside the beehive.
What is RAW HONEY???
Raw honey is the most original honey collected straight from the extractor; it is totally unheated, unpasteurized, unprocessed honey.
Raw honey is the most original honey collected straight from the extractor; it is totally unheated, unpasteurized, unprocessed honey.
Ripe honey, as removed from the hive by a beekeeper , has a long shelf life, and will not ferment if properly sealed.
This means that it has retained all of its natural components including antioxidants, which are easily destroyed by heating and pasteurization.

Pasteurized honey is honey that has been heated in a pasteurization process which requires temperatures of 161 °F (72 °C) or higher.
Pasteurization destroys yeast cells. It also liquefies any microcrystals in the honey, which delays the onset of visible crystallization. However, excessive heat exposure also results in product deterioration, as it increases the level of hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and reduces enzyme activity.

★★ BENEFITS...
♠ Rich in antioxidants: Antioxidants help boost your body's natural defenses.
A daily dose of honey raises levels of disease-fighting antioxidants in the blood.
Researchers say honey contains varying concentrations of polyphenols, which are powerful antioxidants that are thought to reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer.
※Polyphenols are also found in fruits, vegetables, tea, and olive oil.
Honey contains several compounds thought to function as antioxidants, including chrysin , pinobanksin , vitamin C , catalase, and pinocembrin.

♠Routine skin care:
※Acne fighter: Honey is naturally antibacterial, so it's great for acne treatment and prevention.
※Anti-aging: Full of antioxidants, it is great for slowing down aging.
※Complexion boost: It is extremely moisturizing and soothing, so it helps create a glow.
※Pores cleanser: Honey is clarifying because it opens up pores making them easy to unclog. It is because of this that honey is known to be an extremely efficient skin cleanser even on its own.

♠ Wound healer; In fact, it is considered one of the oldest known wound dressings.
Honey was used by the ancient Greek physician Dioscorides in 50 A.D. for sunburn and infected wounds.
Honey’s healing properties are mentioned in the Bible, Koran, and Torah.
Some people apply honey directly to the skin for wound healing, burns, sunburn , cataracts, and diabetic foot ulcers.
Some of the chemicals in honey may kill certain bacteria and fungus. When applied to the skin, honey may serve as a barrier to moisture and keep skin from sticking to dressings.
Honey may also provide nutrients and other chemicals that speed wound healing.

♥Honey bees add an antibacterial protein called defensin-1, a natural part of their immune system, to honey during the production process.
And when honey is applied to skin or an open wound, an enzyme called glucose oxidase breaks down, naturally releasing the first-aid staple hydrogen peroxide. Experts say that the high sugar content, low water content, and natural acidity of honey also prevents microbial growth.

♠ Antioxidants: Honey contains nutraceuticals, which are very effective for
the removal of free radicals from the body. As a result, our body immunity is improved against many conditions; ※maybe that's why we are advised to take honey whenever we "feel a flu" coming in... ※

♠Antimicrobial ability: Since time immemorial, honey has been used to dress minor wounds; applying raw honey to infected wounds can reduce redness and swelling as well as reducing healing time from bacterial infection. The effects are
comparable to antibiotics.

♠ Improving Athletic Performance: Honey
is an excellent ergogenic aid and helps in boosting the performance of athletes. Honey is a great way to maintain blood sugar levels, muscle recuperation and glycogen restoration after a workout, as well as regulating the amount of insulin in the body, as well as energy expenditure.

♣Potential dangers..
Honey, as sweet as it is, is unfortunately unsuitable for some people; mainly infants, those with allergies to honey and its components (pollen etc) and those with conditions that are made worse by honey eg diabetic patients.

Honey has many antibacterial abilities. However, bacteria that reproduce using spores, including the bacterium that causes botulism, may remain. This explains why botulism has been reported in infants given honey by mouth ( infants' immature intestinal tracts are quite vulnerable to these bacteria, leading to illness and even death.)
♦♦Nutritional facts♦
Honey is a source of very many amino acids, vitamins and minerals, although in trace amounts (obviously because of its serving size), and very potent.
