Antibiotic Properties of Honey and How to Use it to Get Better Fast

Antibiotic Properties of honey

Antibiotics (the chemically produced kind) have been in the news lately because of their tremendous overuse and over-prescription by doctors.  Drugs that used to be standard treatments for bacterial infections are now less effective or don’t work at all. When an antibiotic drug no longer has an effect on a certain strain of bacteria, those bacteria are said to be antibiotic resistant. Fortunately, honey has natural antibiotic properties without any of the negative side effects of the synthetic versions.   In addition, it doesn’t appear to be susceptible to resistance by bacteria meaning you can continue to use it over time.

Still, that’s not to say the honey becomes inedible. As per the National Honey Board, crystallization is a natural process in which the glucose in honey precipitates out of the liquid honey. You can still consume it, but if the crystallization bothers you, spokespersons from the board says that placing the honey jar in warm water and stirring will dissolve the crystals.

The story of honey is older than history itself. An 8,000-year-old cave painting1 in Spain depicts honey harvesting, and we know it’s been used for food, medicine and more by cultures all over the world since.
