How Does Honey Get Its Healing Power?

Manuka honey is also good for healing esophageal damage from acid reflux.
“Both pasteurized and unpasteurized ("raw") honey contain the same beneficial nutrients”
…a few paragraphs down:
“Most honeys on supermarket shelves have likely been pasteurized, heated, and/or otherwise processed, which destroys some or most of their beneficial properties.”
Seems like a contradiction, so which is it? 😆
I think they meant just raw honey. Some raw honey has been somewhat processed but the ones that you get in the supermarket have been totally processed, maybe?
Thanks for your question, May! They have the same nutritional values, but raw honey is more effective for healing.
I have a teaspoon of raw honey in my herbal tea every night before bed. I find it helps me sleep better. On nights I don't take it I don't sleep nearly as well. Also for colds/flu's, buckwheat honey is incredible for. A few years back there was a nasty virus going around that was typically taking 4-6 weeks to get over. With really nasty symptoms and high fever lasting for days. We caught it ourselves but with 4-5 doses of buckwheat honey in tea every day, we got over our symptoms and felt back to normal after about 2 weeks. I was blown away by this result. Since then I have never been without it. I always keep a big jar of buckwheat honey around for any seasonal viruses that come around.
I should clarify the comment above/below. "A few years back" meaning 2 years before covid.
Great blog! Thank you for sharing this detailed article about honey. Indeed, honeys have a lot of benefits, especially to our health. That's why I really love having one in my home. I also find a brand that sells the best creamed honey, you can check their website at https://wendellestate.ca/ to know more about them. You'll surely won't regret it!
I just found I am allergic to honey. After eating it all my life I had an anaphylactic reaction a couple of weeks ago and could hardly breath. So, the part about honey not causing allergic reactions is not completely true.
To what does the asterisk refer after the words "raw honey*"? I do not see an explanation for the asterisk at the end of the article, or should I?
Thanks for catching that! Originally there had been an additional sentence defining raw honey, but this was worked into the rest of the article instead.
