What is raw honey?

The best honey in Spain

Honey followed by the word "raw" means that it has not been treated and therefore preserves all its nutritional properties such as vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Just as raw vegetables are preferable because they have a higher nutritional content than cooked ones, the same goes for honey. Raw honey is honey that has not been heated, pasteurized, or processed in any way. The differences between raw and pasteurized honey are substantial. This is a food that contains natural vitamins, enzymes, powerful antioxidants and other natural nutrients important for human health. All these properties and nutrients that honeys have are destroyed during the heating and pasteurization process. In fact, pasteurized honey is equivalent to the very unhealthy, refined sugar.

Raw honey has anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, is a powerful antioxidant, strengthens the immune system, eliminates allergies and is an excellent remedy for skin wounds and all kinds of infections. The benefits don't stop there, it can also stabilize blood pressure, balance sugar levels, relieve pain and calm nerves as well as being used to treat ulcers. It is a good expectorant and anti-inflammatory and has been used to effectively treat respiratory ailments such as bronchitis and asthma.

If we have allergies caused by any element of nature, consuming raw honey from our area is an excellent way to treat seasonal allergies. It is more effective to consume local honeys for the treatment of allergies, since they contain small amounts of the specific pollens of the allergy of that area.

These are the most popular varieties in Spain: raw thousand flower honey, orange blossom, rosemary, lavender/lavender, thyme, eucalyptus, heather and forest.

Raw honey as an effective natural remedy

For centuries, honey has been used to treat all kinds of ailments. It can be applied topically to heal wounds and rashes, or it can be taken internally to treat infections and address other health issues. Although there are numerous remedies, the following are the most popular remedies for the most common daily ailments.

For skin burns, rashes and abrasions, place a poultice of honey on the affected area.

Raw honey is also used as an effective acne treatment. A small amount placed on the blemishes or acne at night helps to clear the skin and in a short period of time. Washing your face with honey also helps to have clean and smooth skin.

The antibiotic properties of raw honey are effective in treating colds and sore throats because when it passes through the throat it reduces irritation. For blocked noses, mix a teaspoon in a pot of hot water, put a towel on your head and inhale the steam.

To treat allergies, take a teaspoon a couple of times a day a few months before allergy season.

Never hesitate and demand quality honey, which has not been treated so that it preserves all its properties intact, since the most important value of this product is not its sweetness, but the nutritional properties it provides.
