Honey is a wonderful gift of nature, possessing not only high taste, but also healing properties. The benefits of this natural product have been well known since ancient times. Cellular honey has always been considered especially useful and continues to be considered. But why, what is the reason?
What are the special benefits of honey comb
Honeycomb honey is found in its natural "container", consisting of wax and propolis. According to some researchers, the wax, formed from the secretions of the glands of bees, contains some of the beneficial components contained in flower nectar. A huge amount of various substances, including trace elements necessary for a person, is contained in propolis. For example, there is potassium, sodium, iron, zinc, manganese, magnesium, copper, selenium, fluorine. And this is far from a complete list of trace elements.
In addition, propolis contains flavonoids, aromatic acids and their esters, and a number of amino acids (including essential ones).
Also, pollen settles on the walls of the wax cells. And in it, in addition to proteins, fats and carbohydrates, there is also a number of microelements useful to humans. Therefore, honey in combs contains much more biologically active substances than pumped honey. This is its main advantage.
What are the healing properties of honey in combs?
From time immemorial it has been known that the use of comb honey is very good for the treatment of certain diseases of the respiratory system. Honeycomb honey, due to the higher content of nutrients, has a beneficial effect on the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract, soothes inflammation and irritation. Regular consumption of this product dramatically reduces the likelihood of colds and allergic diseases. This may seem very strange, since honey itself, and especially plant pollen, are on the list of the most powerful allergens! However, studies show that people who consume comb honey very rarely develop hay fever (hay fever).
Modern medicine cannot yet fully explain the cause of this phenomenon.
Chewing honeycombs can help prevent inflammatory diseases of the mouth (such as stomatitis). Honeycomb honey enhances human immunity and thus strengthens his health. Therefore, it is imperative, at least from time to time, to use this wonderful natural product. Honey in combs stimulates hematopoiesis, improves the state of the nervous system. It is used to treat eye diseases as well as gynecological diseases. Some people treat cuts with honeycomb-based products.
