1) Healing
wounds and burns
There have been some cases in which people have
reported positive effects of using honey in treating wounds.
A review published in The Cochrane Libraryindicated that
honey might be able to help heal burns. The lead author of the study said that "topical honey is cheaper than other interventions, notably oral antibiotics, which are often used and may have other deleterious side
effects."
However, there is a lack of evidence to fully support
this claim. In fact, a study published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases concluded that applying medical-grade honey to the wounds of patients has no advantage over normal
antibioticsamong patients undergoing
dialysis.
Honey should never be given to young
infants as it can
cause botulism, a rare but severe type of food poisoning.
2)
Reducing the duration of diarrhea
According to research-based reviews on honey, it has been shown to decrease the severity and
duration of diarrhea. Honey also promotes increased potassium and water intake, which is particularly helpful when
experiencing diarrhea.
Research that took place in Lagos, Nigeria suggests
that honey has also shown the ability to block the actions of pathogens that commonly cause diarrhea.
3)
Preventing acid reflux
Recent research has shown that honey can reduce the upward flow of stomach
acid and undigested food by lining the esophagus and stomach.
This has helped to reduce the risk of
gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). GERD can cause inflammation, acid reflux, and heartburn.
4)
Fighting infections
In 2010, scientists from the Academic Medical Center
at the University of Amsterdam reported in FASEB Journal that honey's ability to kill bacteria lies in a protein called defensin-1.
A more recent study in the European Journal
of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases showed that a certain type of honey, called Manuka honey, can help prevent the bacteria Clostridium difficile from
settling in the body. C. difficile is known for causing severe diarrhea and sickness.
Some studies have revealed that Manuka honey may even
be effective for the treatment of MRSAinfections.
Dr. Jenkins concluded:
"Manuka and
other honeys have been known to have wound healing and anti-bacterial properties for some time. But the way in which they act is still not known. If we can discover exactly how Manuka honey
inhibits MRSA, it could be used more frequently as a first-line treatment for infections with bacteria that are resistant to many currently available antibiotics."
Manuka honey may even help reverse bacterial resistance to
antibiotics, according to research presented
in the journal Letters in Applied Microbiology. This type of honey showed action against Ureaplasma urealyticum, a bacteria that is resistant to many different
antibiotics.
A study published in the
journal Pediatrics, which compared honey to placebo in helping children with a cough during the night, found that honey was superior. The
researchers concluded:
"Parents
rated the honey products higher than the silan date extract for symptomatic relief of their children's nocturnal cough and sleep difficulty due to URI (upper respiratory infection). Honey may be
a preferable treatment for cough and sleep difficulty associated with childhood URI."
In The Scientific World Journal,
researchers provided data confirming that natural honey was as effective as a eusol antiseptic
solution in reducing wound
infections.
There is a great deal of evidence supporting the use
of honey as a remedy for infection.
5)
Relieving cold and cough symptoms
The World Health Organization
(WHO) recommends
honey as a natural cough remedy.
The American Academy of Pediatrics also recognizes
honey as a treatment for a cough.
However, they advise that honey is not suitable
for children under the age of one year. A 2007 study by Penn State College of Medicine suggested that honey
reduced night-time coughing and improved sleep quality in children with upper respiratory infection to a greater degree than the cough medicine dextromethorphan.
6)
Replacing added sugar in the diet
Honey's sweet flavor makes it an ideal substitute for
sugar in the diet.
Added sugar in the diet provides
excess calories with no nutritional benefit. This can lead to an
increased body
weight, which comes with
an increased
risk of high blood pressure and diabetes. Honey can be added to food and beverages to sweeten the taste
without the negative health impact of added sugars. However, since honey is still a sweetener, it is important to remain mindful of how much honey being is used.
Medicinal
use

versatile ingredient with a range of medicinal uses.
Honey has
been used to treat a wide array of illnesses, ailments, and injuries.
