BUZZING WITH HEALTH 
The medicinal and healing properties of honey have earned it a reputation as one the purest and most natural remedies for 
over 5,000 years. And because it contains so many therapeutic qualities, honey is used to treat 
a wide range of ailments and complaints.

The energy provider
Next time you go to the gym, have a spoonful of honey beforehand. Honey is a source of natural unrefined sugars 
and carbohydrates, which are easily absorbed by the body, providing an instant energy boost with long-lasting 
effects. For this reason, many athletes include honey in their daily diets. It was even used by runners 
in the original Olympic Games in ancient Greece.

Coughs and colds
Honey is widely used as a complementary remedy for the relief of the symptoms of colds, coughs, sore throats and 
'flu. For a sore throat, take it on its own or gargle with a mixture of two tablespoons of set honey, 
four tablespoons of cider vinegar and a pinch of salt.

A traditional drink made from hot water, lemon juice and honey will help to soothe cold and flu symptoms. 
Adding a little eucalyptus oil or root ginger will help to ease congestion and, to help enhance sleep,
try a drop of whiskey in the mixture
