Health Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar and Honey

Apple Cider Vinegar and honey are two remarkable foods that work together and alone to cure many ailments.

What is apple cider vinegar? Apple cider vinegar results from the fermentation of pulverized apples. Yeast is first added to the apples causing fermentation and resulting in alcohol. Then acetic-acid forming bacteria are added for a second fermentation resulting in vinegar.

Apple cider vinegar is often sold in a raw, unfiltered state with the "mother of vinegar" present. This may give it a stringy appearance. Hippocrates himself is said to have used apple cider vinegar for its health benefits.
Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar is probably the most popular brand of RAW, unfiltered apple cider vinegar. It is my definitely my preferred brand, for sure. It is very important that the apple cider vinegar be raw, as that provides maximum health benefits.

Of course, if you just can't stomach the thought of drinking apple cider vinegar, you can also buy Apple Cider Vinegar Tablets.

What is honey? Of course, everyone knows that bees make honey, but did you know that honey bees use a process called regurgitation (yes, that is what you think it is) to create this sweet food from nectar? The bees make the honey for themselves and store it inside their honeycombs. Don't worry; however, modern beekeeping practices encourage the overproduction of honey, so we humans can enjoy this sweet food without endangering the bees. 

Honey is composed of fructose and sucrose and has the same relative sweetness as sugar. It is rich in B1, B2, C, B6, B5, B3 and small quantities of copper, iodine, and zinc. The amounts of vitamins vary depending on the quality of the nectar and honey. Raw honey is especially beneficial as it contains antimicrobial agents, making it particularly useful in wound healing.

The health benefits of honey are too numerous to count...check out this amazing resource on the health benefits of honey. You'll find everything from using honey for weight loss and beauty to information on honey-making.You've probably also heard about Manuka Honey. It hails from New Zealand and has been used by indigenous populations for centuries. Manuka honey is said to have certain properties not found in other types of honey. It is especially beneficial for stomach ulcers, and skin issues...many people even recommend using Manuka Honey to treat MRSA! 

Warning: NEVER give honey to infants under one year of age!

The benefits of raw honey

(Natural News) When we look at the word "raw", we associated it with the preservation of important vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Just as raw vegetables are preferable because of their nutritional content, the same is true of honey. Raw honey is honey that has not been heated, pasteurized or processed in any way. The differences between raw and pasteurized honey are substantial. Raw honey is an alkaline-forming food that contains natural vitamins, enzymes, powerful antioxidants and other important natural nutrients. These are the very nutrients that are destroyed during the heating and pasteurization process. In fact, pasteurized honey is equivalent to and just as unhealthy as eating refined sugar.

Raw honey has anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal properties. It promotes body and digestive health, is a powerful antioxidant, strengthens the immune system, eliminates allergies, and is an excellent remedy for skin wounds and all types of infections. Raw honey's benefits don't stop there. Raw honey can also stabilize blood pressure, balance sugar levels, relieve pain, calm nerves, and it has been used to treat ulcers. Raw honey is also an expectorant and anti-inflammatory and has been known to effectively treat respiratory conditions such as bronchitis and asthma.

Raw honey purchased from a local source is an excellent way of treating seasonal allergies. Local honey is preferred for treating allergies because the likelihood is great that it will contain small amounts of the specific pollens an individual may be allergic to.

Raw Honey is an effective natural remedy for a variety of conditions.

by: Luella May

For centuries, honey has been used to treat all sorts of ailments. It can be applied topically to heal wounds and rashes, or it can be taken internally to treat infections and address other health concerns. Although there are numerous remedies, the following are popular remedies for common everyday conditions.

For skin burns, rashes, and abrasions, place a honey poultice over the affected area.

Raw honey is also an effective treatment for acne. A small amount placed on blemishes and acne nightly will often clear the skin in a short period of time. Washing your face with honey will also leave you with sparkling, clean, soft skin.

Raw honey's antibiotic properties are effective in treating colds and sore throats. Raw honey coats the throat and reduces irritation. For blocked sinuses, mix a teaspoon of honey in a pot of hot water, put a towel over your head, and just inhale the steam.

To treat allergies, take a teaspoon of raw honey a couple of times a day starting a few months prior to allergy season.

The many varieties of honey.

There are many varieties of honey, some of which are used to treat specific health conditions. Manuka honey has strong anti-bacterial properties and is used to treat a variety of conditions which include colds, sore throats, indigestion, stomach ulcers, and acne.

Acacia honey cleanses the liver, promotes intestinal health, and reduces inflammation in the respiratory tract.

Buckwheat honey, a strong tasting and dark honey, has strong antioxidant properties. Unfortunately, Buckwheat Honey is very scarce, especially in the United States. An alternative would be Red Gum Honey that also has strong antioxidant properties.

Eucalyptus honey can be used to prevent colds and headaches.

Heather honey has been used since ancient times for its medicinal properties. This honey contains a high level of protein.

Linden honey is known for its sedative and antiseptic properties. It is used to treat anxiety, insomnia, colds, coughs, and bronchitis.

Neem honey is highly esteemed in Ayurveda for its medicinal properties. Neem Honey is used to treat high blood pressure, diabetes, skin conditions, periodontal infections, throat infections and allergies.
