Try Raw Honey!!
Raw honey is unheated, unpastureized, pure, and unprocessed!! Most honey found in the store is not raw honey but “commercial" regular honey, which has been pasteurized (heated at 70 degrees Celsius or more, followed by rapid cooling) and filtered so that it looks cleaner and smoother, more appealing on the shelf, and easier to handle and package. Pasteurization kills any yeast cell in the honey and prevents fermentation. It also slows down the speed of crystallization in liquid honey. On the downside, when honey is heated, its delicate aromas, yeast and enzymes which are responsible for activating vitamins and minerals in the body system are partially destroyed. Hence, raw honey is assumed to be more nutritious than honey that has undergone heat treatment.
Raw honey is an alkaline-forming food It doesn’t ferment in the stomach and it can be used to counteract acid indigestion. It is the healthiest choice among the various forms of honey because it has the most nutritional value and contains amylase, an enzyme concentrated in flower pollen which helps pre-digest starchy foods like breads. Local honey is prefered because the pollen is from the area.
The strength of crystalization (hardness) determines the level of live-state nutrients and heat-sensitive enzymes. The harder the honey, the better!! Honey does not spoil!!
-Put a little honey in hot tea to soothe a sore throat and cough
-Eat 1 tsp a day a month before seasonal allegies hit-will help your body become immune to them!
For Dry Skin: Avocado & Honey Face Mask
