Honey is a sweet treat. Natural honey is produced by bees. Not everyone likes the taste, but it’s hard to deny its nutritional value.

We can find it in the compositions of many cosmetics.
Honey is a natural food product made by bees. Its properties in medicine and cosmetology have been known since antiquity. Although not everyone likes the taste and aroma of honey, it should be included in our diet. Check what nutritional and healing values honey has.
Honey – nutrients
Honey has a beneficial effect on the heart, nerves, brain and hard-to-heal wounds. It fights bacteria more effectively than some antibiotics. It is also a great alternative to today’s cosmetics. If you want to test the effect of honey on the skin, order BIO Orientana serum for tired skin with honey and propolis. It nourishes the skin, soothes irritations and has anti-aging properties. In this case, we also recommend the nourishing face peeling Vianek mask, which is intended for the care of dry, sensitive and mature skin.
Honey has a bactericidal effect thanks to enzymes that come mainly from the salivary glands of insects. In addition, we can find hydrogen peroxide in it, i.e. substances with strong bactericidal properties.
The antibiotic substances that bees contain in honey include lysozyme and apidicin. These substances affect gram-positive cocci and gram-negative rods. Honey will also help with infections caused by anthrax bacilli, tuberculosis bacilli, trichomoniasis and fungi of the genus Candida.
Honey also contains a lot of micronutrients, such as potassium, phosphorus, chlorine, iron, calcium, magnesium, molybdenum, cobalt, and manganese, as well as vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C, folic acid, pantothenic acid and biotin.
Acetylcholine contained in honey will improve the efficiency of the heart, and potassium will also improve its work. Medicines and various preparations for strengthening the heart containing honey should be used in periods of high physical and mental effort, chronic diseases, exhaustion of the body, and nutrient deficiencies. In such a situation, honey should appear especially in the diets of children, the elderly and in the period of menopause.
You can find honeys based on various plants at great prices on the Medonet Market.
