Raw honey helps an upset stomach, insect bites, ulcers, burns
Honey has bacteria-killing properties, according to research. It was found that treating venous ulcers (shallow skin ulcers) with honey dressings decreased their size 34%.
To use it: For an upset stomach, mix equal parts honey and vinegar – around one teaspoon of each – and add to water or juice. Drink it straight to relieve mild coughs and dress bandages with it to treat burns.
Caution- Honey has spores that produce bacteria that can cause botulism (a serious form of food poisoning) in infants. That’s why children under 1 year old should never consume raw honey.
Also, some people are allergic to it, but reactions are usually mild and temporary.
People with severe bee allergies can have anaphylactoid responses, characterized by tingling lips, swollen tongue and difficulty breathing. They’ll need to seek emergency help & they'd avoid raw honey.
