What's All the BUZZ About Raw HONEY?

 I would like to tell you today about what I have researched about raw honey as well as witnessed firsthand!

Raw honey has many holistic health benefits.

- It contains a natural type of antioxidant which can help decrease inflammation throughout the body. This gives raw honey the ability to relieve the symptoms of numerous inflammatory conditions such as: gastrointestinal issues associated with inflammation and joint inflammation.

- For centuries raw honey has been used in wound care due to its natural antibacterial properties. I have witnessed this first hand when doing wound care as a nurse and have seen wound bandages impregnated with honey. 

- Honey's glycemic index is actually lower than white table sugar. This means that it will not raise your blood sugar as high as white sugar will. 

- Local raw honey is produced by bees consuming pollens and nectar from local plant life and therefore is believed by some to aide in seasonal allergies. I am a HUGE believer in this and certain times of the year I will give myself and Cole daily spoonful's of honey to help with our allergies!

If all of this doesn't make you a BEE-liever in RAW HONEY the taste definitely will!! YUMM!
