Honey is like a wonder tonic. A spoonful of honey acts to balance metabolic systems when ingested, and is a
natural antibacterial. Cleopatra from ancient Egypt bathed in milk and honey for a flawless complexion.

Honey is a natural humectant that
attracts and retains moisture. With its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, it’s been touted for
centuries to repair damaged, sensitive skin. Bacteria cannot grow in honey so the ancient Egyptians painted
it on wounds to keep infections from forming. Smear some honey on your gums to help heal sensitive, sore mouths.
You can make a classic old time smoothing lotion for extra dry skin by combining equal parts honey, lemon juice
and any kind of vegetable oil (extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil are excellent), leave it on dry areas for
20-30 minutes and rinse off or jump in the bath and soak it off leaving skin soft and smooth all over.
It’s
also touted that if you take a spoonful of honey daily that is produced by bees in your geographical area,
it will help you become immune to allergies of pollens since that honey is made directly from the pollens you’re
affected by. Honey is good to take for a sore throat since it helps sooth and disinfect the throat.
Taking honey daily can also help ward off arthritis and joint problems. Using honey to sweeten everything instead
of sugar can gain you many health benefits while omitting the bad calories and dentist bills. See also under
the category to the right “General Health” for information on apple cider vinegar and the ‘other wonder tonic’.
