Honey has been around for about as long as humans. The first recorded drawing of a human harvesting
honey is approximately 8,000 years old. Archaeologists have found honeycombs buried with pharaohs
in Egypt. In Rome, soldiers used it to heal their wounds. In the Old Testament, Israel was described
as the land of flowing milk and honey. Throughout history, honey has been a form of payment or trade.
Strange And Awesome Uses For Honey
2. Chapped lips - Honey has antibacterial and antiviral properties. Plus, it is a great moisturizer.
Apply some on your lips and try not to lick it off.
3. Treat herpes blisters - Herpes simplex (also called cold sores) Honey, with its antiviral properties.
Remember: only the raw stuff will provide full benefits.
4. Stock it for emergencies - When archaeologists found honeycombs in Egypt, they were surprised
to discover that the honey was still edible. Raw honey may crystallize, but it will last forever.
5. Heal wounds - Honey’s acidity has the ability to increase the release of oxygen from hemoglobin,
lymph flow increases and the wound can heal faster.
6. Wash your hair with it - With its relative acidity, honey preserves the natural oils and has been
found to help with treatment of dandruff, too. Mix one tablespoon with three tablespoons of water and massage
into hair when taking a shower.
7. Use as a hair mask - Rub honey onto the tips of your hair, leave it on for a few minutes, then wash.
It will make those tips look healthier and more vibrant. *(*Warning, May attract bees!)
8. Use as a face wash - So many products include honey because of its healing powers and gentle
cleansing ability. Why not use honey without all the added chemicals?
9. Cures hangovers - Instead of ibuprofen after a night with a few too many, fructose in honey
speeds up the metabolism, hence the shorter hangover time.
10. Kills parasites - Try to drink a daily solution of honey, apple cider vinegar and hot water.
The acidity of the vinegar combined with honey’s antibacterial properties may do the trick. Sometimes, it
simply takes a little extra work and possibly a change in your diet to get rid of parasites.
11. Skin moisturizer - Soothe dry elbows by applying some honey to your elbows, leave it on for 30 minutes,
then wipe it off.
12. Eat it raw - The honeycomb itself is said to aid with healthy cholesterol levels, thanks to its
long-chain fatty acids. The alcohols contained in the honeycomb are full of antioxidants that help protect the
liver as well.
13. Heals burns - Apply honey to your burns, the hydrogen peroxide that will be released will clean
the wound and ease the inflammation.
14. Preserve your fruit - Mix one part honey with ten parts water and pour over your berries to preserve them.
Like lemon juice, the honey actually intensifies the flavour of the berries.
15.Add it in your bath water - Just a few tablespoons of honey to your bath water will make it smell sweeter
and make the water appear softer. You’ll carry the mild scent of honey around with you all day.
16. Increase your energy before a workout! - Consume some honey before you exercise and the slow, consistent
release of glucose will keep you from burning out too quickly. You can also mix honey with some coconut water,
which is full of electrolytes to replenish your body during and after a workout.
17. Make your own body scrub - Use it for yourself or gift it to someone else. Mix 1/4 cup honey,
1/4 cup raw cane sugar and 1/4 cup olive oil to make an excellent scrub. Careful when you use this in the shower
- the oil will make the shower floor slippery.
18. Hayfever - Build up immunity to pollen. Consuming birch pollen honey can be helpful in people with
birch pollen allergies.
19. Use it as a sweetener - In your green tea, both are believed to increase metabolism, and have a
positive effect on blood sugar.
20. Curse halitosis (bad breath) - Mix 1 teaspoon of honey with 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon in a cup of
warm water. Gargle and swallow, or spit out if you wish. The antibacterial properties of honey can kill the
germs that give you bad breath. Plus, cinnamon happens to be an appetite suppressant.
21. Make your own shaving cream - Honey mixed with warm water can be used as a shaving cream.
It’s soothing and prevents razor burn while moisturizing your skin.
