Honey: Real Food & Medicine By Dr I Keeka & M Hathurani

Description

A clear and comprehensive book on the scientific aspects of Honey as well as bringing in the special qualities of the Honeybee.

For centuries, honey was about the only substance used as a sweetening agent in foods and drinks. It was also regarded as the elixir of life and was by far the most important ingredient in the preparation of remedies for chronic illnesses and common ailments.

In recent times, honey has proven effective in the treatment of a great diversity of health problems. It is now used for combating bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics that so often infect wounds after surgery. It is also used in the treatment of a variety of skin conditions, ulcers, burns, bacterial infections, psoriasis, eczema, acne and septic wounds.

It is no wonder that the Qur’an had made mention of the curing properties of honey some 1400 years ago. Scientific research has confirmed this only in the last decade or so. Honey has the potential to prevent and cure diseases and ensure good vibrant health. It strengthens the body, expels gases from the body, strengthens the lungs, and cures cold-related illnesses. It cleanses the blood and cures diseases of the bladder, spleen, liver, chest and stomach.

The miraculous healing properties of honey are extensively covered in this book. You will be encouraged to keep two jars of honey, one in the kitchen and the other in the medicine chest. A section of this book has also been dedicated to the honeybee, and as you will find, the more you read about these incredible little insects, the more you will stand back in awe.
