Health Benefits of Raw Honey
One of the oldest and most reliable healing foods
Raw unpasteurized honey from the health food store (not processed or pasteurized from the supermarket) is one of the oldest and most reliable healing foods - specifically Manuka Honey is highly recommended for its healing properties.
It's a superfood that provides antioxidants, minerals, vitamins, amino acids, enzymes, carbohydrates, and phytonutrients. It fights bacteria, builds the immune system, and provides energy.
⚠️ Critical Difference: Raw vs Processed Honey
According to the National Honey Board, 82% of households currently use processed honey, which has been heated and pasteurized.
❌ Processed Honey Dangers:
