Honey

Description

Honey is one of the oldest natural products used by humans, as depicted in cave paintings! This thick dark yellow liquid is produced by worker bees from the nectar they collect from plants. It contains enzymes, vitamins, minerals (phosphorus, potassium, calcium, selenium, zinc, iron, manganese, copper), and water. The amount of active substances greatly influences the quality of the honey.

Effects and Uses

Bee honey has antioxidant, antibiotic, soothing, moisturizing, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is suitable for all skin types. It alleviates inflammatory reactions in problematic skin and helps with acne, promotes healing, and reduces the visibility of wrinkles and scars. It regenerates dry and cracked skin. It is also suitable for children and individuals with very sensitive skin.

When taken internally, honey has detoxifying properties, strengthens the immune system, and helps with colds or digestive issues.
