This sweet golden liquid from the beehive is loaded with so many very vital properties that the human body needs such as antibacterial and antifungal properties to keep you super healthy.

According to the National Honey Board, health honeycomb are so many, a tablespoon of undiluted honey contains about 64 calories; it is fat-free, cholesterol-free, and sodium-free. Its composition is roughly 18 percent water, 80 percent carbohydrates and two percent amino acids, vitamins and minerals.

Health benefits of honeycomb:


1. Honeycomb Boosts Memory
Honey is known to be loaded with antioxidants that helps prevent cellular damage and loss within the brain. Honey has been discovered to boost postmenopausal women’s memory, which can provide an alternative therapy for the hormone-related intellectual decline.

After four months of taking 20 grams of honey a day, the women were more likely to have better short-term memory than their counterparts who took hormone pills.

According to Brennecke, Honey’s ability to help the body absorb calcium helps aid brain health. The brain needs calcium in order to process thought and make decisions as fast as possible.

2. Honeycomb Boosts the Immune System
One very benefit of honey is that it is an important source of vitamins and minerals.

Honey’s antioxidant properties keeps the body healthy and fit by removing some aliens from the body thereby improving your digestive system, and enabling you to stay healthy and fight diseases and infections.

This also is a super health benefit of honey as a super immune system booster that we as humans needs.

3. It treats Minor Injuries
For years, honey has been used as a first aid treatment for cuts, burns and wounds on the body and the results have been awesome.

Honey’s antiseptic properties help keep wounds free of contaminations or infection thereby promoting healing. Honey is also anti-inflammatory agent, so it is potent enough to reduce swelling and pain from injuries.

4. Honeycomb increases Energy
Another benefit of honey is that it is also a great but natural source of carbohydrates which our bodies require for strength and energy. It is also a very good stimulant, giving an instant boost in performance and endurance and reducing muscle fatigue – particularly in athletes.

Again honey has been known to keep blood sugar levels fairly constant compared to other types of sugar. This is because it is a natural source of fructose and glucose, which are very quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, and play a crucial role in preventing fatigue during exercise.

Remember, it is not only when doing exercise that a boost can be useful, but in during sexual intercourse and also in all day to day activities.

5. It treats Sore Throats and Colds
Honeycomb is also a great natural treatment for sore throats and cold as well. It does not just soothe the pain of a sore throat, but also helps kill the harmful bacteria that cause sore throat infection.

Again, studies have shown that honey is far better than over the counter remedies for coughs, colds and sore throats. When taken before bedtime honey can help stop coughing and allow a good night’s sleep in children.

6. Honeycomb is a Hay Fever Remedy
If you are a man or woman that suffers hay fever, then get a locally produced honey. All honey will contain traces of pollen – and if it is a locally produced honey, it will contain the same pollen which helps ease your symptoms.

So if you take small amounts of this honey every day, the theory is that you will de-sensitize yourself to your pollen allergy.

There is no scientific proof that this theory works, but many people mostly the locals do testify to the fact that it works. Therefore, if you are a sufferer of hay fever, it is worth giving it a trial.
