Benefits of honey – what can I use honey for?

Who hasn’t experienced the taste of this delicious natural sweetener?  Additionally, honey contains a wide array of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants. Here are a few health benefits of honey you might not know:

• a completely natural antiseptic, honey was smeared thickly over wounds in the old days to help them heal faster
• drinking tea or warm lemon water mixed with honey will help soothe a sore throat. In fact I keep a jar of Manuka honey on standby for Flora for that very reason.
• using honey in skincare will help moisturize and soothe any chapped skin, inflammation or soreness
