10 Unconventional Uses of Honey
The hunt for honey has been an integral part of history that began over 8,000 years ago during the Mesolithic era. Apart from it being a natural sweetener, honey was packed along with lindens, berries, and a meadow-flower variety for the deceased in ancient Georgia, to prep them for their voyage into the afterlife. It was even used for spiritual and therapy purposes as noted in the ancient India’s Vedas and the Ayurveda scriptures. Nonetheless, from light clover to dark buckwheat honey, this thick, saccharine liquid has proven its beneficial properties that go beyond its use as a food and here’s why:
- Heal wounds and burns
Since honey is packed with anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, it can help heal minor wounds and burns. Simply apply honey on the affected area once you have cleansed it with cold water. This doesn’t apply to shop-bought regular honey.
- A useful lip balm
Honey works well as a treatment for cracked lips. Not only does honey heals, it helps in hydrating dry lips to restore lost moisture.
- Condition damaged hair
A cheaper and healthier alternative to expensive chemical-laden hair treatment is a simple moisturizing hair mask using honey. Just apply it over the ends of damp hair and leave it for about 10 minutes before washing your hair.
- Remove parasites
If you’re down with nasty parasitic infections, a combination of equal parts honey, vinegar and warm water will do the trick to solve the problem.
- Reduce acne problems
With its natural humectant and antimicrobial properties, you can easily clear off those stubborn pimples without stripping the skin. Gently wash your face with raw honey every morning and you are good to go.
- Hangover slayer
The fructose in honey is an essential compound that aids your liver in metabolising the alcohol into harmless by-products. Hangover no more!
- Help shed some calories
As ironic as it sounds, honey does aid in weight loss. Unlike refined sugar, honey contains various vitamins and minerals such as riboflavin, Vitamin C, and Vitamin B6. Plus, it helps reduce cholesterol level and the risk of cardiovascular disorders.
- Improve memory
Honey is also an optimum fuel to boost our brain power. It is said to have a positive effect on the mental functions especially amongst menopausal and postmenopausal women.
- Promote better sleep
Studies claim that raw honey relieves anxiety, thereby promoting relaxation that will get you sleeping like a baby. One to two teaspoons per day should suffice.
- Relieve sore throat
Honey is a good remedy for sore throats and when used with lemon essential oil and peppermint oil, fast acting benefits can be had.
