The Healing Power of Honey: A Journey Through Natural Remedies

Throughout my journey in naturopathic medical school, my passion for all things bee-related became a topic of fascination among my peers. And for good reason – the world of bee products offers an abundance of evidence-backed remedies. I am profoundly grateful for the individuals who noticed and encouraged my dedication along the way.

One particular memory stands out: I wrote a paper on the use of propolis as a vaginal suppository in gynecology, a topic that piqued my interest. Without actively pursuing honors, I presented my paper to an attending physician, known for their high expectations. To my astonishment, they awarded me honors for the course, recognizing the potential of bee products in medical applications.

Another vivid recollection is the day I suggested applying Manuka honey topically to combat a stubborn skin infection resistant to antibiotics. I pitched this idea to a rather intimidating resident during my shift. To my delight, they not only supported my plan but also shared my passion for bees, acknowledging the substantial body of evidence supporting the medicinal use of bee-derived products.

Now, in this INSIDER article, "The Best Medicine for Sore Throat Relief, According to Doctors," authored by Tonya Russell, I have the privilege to discuss the marvel of HONEY!

Personally, I employ Manuka honey for various therapeutic purposes, both internally and externally. It serves as a remedy for wounds and digestive health issues. For general health maintenance, especially during seasonal transitions to bolster the immune system, I turn to Beekeeper's Superfood Honey. This remarkable blend of raw honey, bee pollen, royal jelly, and a high concentration of propolis offers a host of benefits.

Propolis, a source of prebiotics and antioxidants, has been scientifically proven to enhance intestinal barrier function and protect against oxidative stress – a crucial support for the immune system.

In my opinion, Superfood Honey is the epitome of nature's bounty. Depending on the season or my dietary preferences, I enjoy a daily dose or an occasional treat, incorporating it into beverages, recipes, or as a standalone delight. It can even support metabolic flexibility on high-carb days.

Someone who provides unwavering support and speedy assistance, facilitating results you may have never thought possible.
