Honey itself is a source of beneficial health properties and taste. It was mined by primitive people, and in ancient times bees were even the object of worship. One of the varieties of honey, i.e. heather honey, is a delicacy with an orange, quite dark color and a bitter, though quite mild taste. These unusual features make it quite a unique product, which, although it does not contain too many different vitamins, has other valuable ingredients – free amino acids and enzymes.
The taste and smell of heather honey are caused by the content of essential oils. We find in it a high content of vitamin B, as well as bioelements and growth hormones that are well absorbed by the human body. Its properties include supporting the treatment of colds, antiseptic properties, as well as inhibiting the growth of bacteria and viruses in the body. It works well with flu and other infections, as it has a warming and antibiotic effect.
Heather honey for the intestines and urinary tract
This type of honey has also found its use in supporting the excretory system. Consuming it will alleviate both the problems associated with the intestines and the urinary system, as it has a diuretic effect. It is one of the best aids in the treatment of diseases such as:
- inflammation of the prostate gland,
- Inflammation of the intestines and stomach,
- Urinary tract and kidney diseases,
- gout (gout),
- Rheumatism,
- Inflammation of the throat and mouth,
- kidney stones,
- Constipation
- diarrhea,
- Inflammation of tonsils.
It will also work well in relieving heart diseases, eye diseases, colds and flu-like diseases. All this thanks to the high content of growth hormones, neurohormones, as well as as many as forty-seven bioelements. What’s more, the human body absorbs them very quickly. In addition, it stimulates the removal of toxic substances.
Application in cosmetics
Heather honey can also affect our appearance. It is a component of many beautifying and smoothing cosmetics. We can use it as an element of homemade peeling and masks, mixing it with other ingredients. It nourishes the skin, regenerates it, accelerates wound healing and soothes irritations.
How to use heather honey – prevention
Two teaspoons of honey a day are enough to notice positive effects. It will be a perfect substitute for sugar – we can add it to tea, coffee, cocoa, water with lemon. You can also use it regularly, for prophylactic purposes, by dissolving one tablespoon in half a glass of water, then let it stand for 12 hours and drink it in the morning, preferably before a meal.
