What U Need To Know About Honey by auxerre: 10:23am On Jul 26, 2015
1. Burns
In some studies, using honey as a salve for burns
has proven very effective. In one clinical trial , burn
victims treated with honey saw swelling subside
earlier, a better control of infection, and faster
overall healing.


2. Memory
Some say that honey can improve both short- and
long-term memory, especially in menopausal and
postmenopausal women. In one study,
postmenopausal women who were given honey
treatments for several weeks saw as much
improvement in their immediate memory as
women given hormone therapy.



3. Herpes
Honey has proven to be an effective topical
treatment for both oral and genital herpes.
Research conducted in Dubai shows that honey
can heal these lesions just as quickly as ointments
you find at a pharmacy, and was even better at
reducing itchiness.


4. Diabetes
Honey has a lower glycemic index than sugar—
which means that it won’t spike blood sugar levels
the way sugar will. Honey also has a sweeter taste
than sugar, and may help you use less sweetener
on your foods. This can make honey a better
option than sugar. In one experiment , researchers
found that swapping honey for pure sugar is an
effective way to keep blood sugar levels steady.




5. Cancer
Honey is celebrated for its antioxidant properties,
which has caused many to wonder whether it
might have a future in preventing or treating
cancer. A 2011 study from Iran looked at how
honey affects renal cell carcinoma, which is a type
of kidney cancer. Researchers found that honey
was in fact effective in stopping cancer cells from
multiplying, and concluded that honey definitely
warrants further study as a cancer treatment.



6. Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids cause itching and pain in the anus,
as well as blood in the stool. In short, they are
never fun. But if you’re looking for a home remedy,
honey might fit the bill. An experiment that used a
mixture of honey, olive oil, and beeswax as a
topical treatment found that the mixture
significantly reduced pain and itching, as well as
bleeding.



7. Wounds and Ulcers
Honey has been used to dress wounds for
centuries, but does it work better than gels and
compresses? The research is mixed, but certainly
not anti-honey. One study found that honey is fast
and effective when it comes to sterilizing wounds
and removing dead tissue. Other researchers agree
that it can be effective, or even superior, to other
wound dressings, but it all depends on the wound.
For deep cuts and wounds, it can actually cause
infection, so only use honey after you’ve seen a
doctor.


8. Fertility
Honey has been lauded for its potential to boost
fertility, both in men and women. However, the
evidence is somewhat mixed. In fact, two separate
2013 studies — both conducted in Nigeria, using
rats — gave very different results. While one
showed that honey increased the male rats’ sperm
counts, the other showed quite the opposite. Can
honey help you start a family? For now, all we
really have is anecdotal evidence.



9. Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a common skin condition that causes
redness, blisters, itching, and even lesions. It’s
usually treated with topical creams that contain
corticosteroids or vitamin D, but could honey blow
them out of the water? One study once again used
a mixture of honey, olive oil, and beeswax, and
found that in most participants there was a
reduction in redness, scaling, and itching
