Honey Facts:

•  If your honey should crystallize, simply pop in the microwave on high 30 seconds at a time until the crystals have melted.  This does no damage to the honey whatsoever.  Your honey will last indefinitely.

• Much of the effectiveness of  honey to help treat respiratory problems has been traced to the bee pollen and propolis suspended within it. According to a research report from Bulgaria, they found that honey has anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, and had expectorant properties that insure the body has an immunobiological defense and gives it the capacity to regenerate attacked cells.

• For skin rashes, burns and abrasions. Apply a small amount of raw honey lightly over the affected area; may cover with a dressing or a dusting of cornstarch to reduce any stickiness.

• For hair and scalp treatment: Apply Honey (with or without olive oil) to dry or damp hair about one half hour before washing--you'll be amazed at your "crowning glory".

• Honey is an astounding natural preservative.  Unprocessed honey found in 4000 year old ancient tombs was determined to be edible and was even used to preserve bodies. Keeps foods fresh and moist longer and retards spoilage.

• Honey is antiseptic, antibiotic, antifungal, and antibacterial -- it never spoils!

• In digestive disturbances honey is of great value. Honey does not ferment in the stomach because, being an inverted sugar, it is easily absorbed and there is no danger of a bacterial invasion. The flavor of honey excites the appetite and helps digestion.
