It may seem that honey in combs is just a beautiful natural packaging, but this is not at all the case. Such honey is a truly unique product. But is it possible to eat it with honeycombs?
About the benefits of comb honey
Honeycomb honey comes to your table exactly as it should be: completely natural, aromatic, tasty and 100% sterile. Such honey, if stored correctly, can remain liquid for a whole year, or even more - this is another proof of the tightness and reliability of the bee packaging. If you bought it, know - you are in luck. For health, it is much more useful than the usual one, artificially pumped out of combs and collected in cans or barrels.
But let's forget about honey for a minute and return to the wax combs themselves. Are they useful and do they carry at least some kind of load besides the packaging? Of course yes! Honeycomb honey is much tastier and more aromatic than usual honey, not only because of hermetic storage in bee containers, but wax also gives it a part of its invaluable healing properties. The fact is that wax has a very complex biochemical composition, contains vitamins, minerals, esters, hydrocarbons and fatty acids. It is due to such a rich composition that wax is often used in cosmetics and medical preparations.
Natural chewing gum
So, of course, you shouldn't deny yourself such a healthy natural product. But how to use honeycomb wax correctly? Very simple. If you want to feast on a serving of honey, simply cut or break off a piece of honeycomb and chew in your mouth until all the contents are in your stomach. This will leave a crumpled ball of wax on your tongue. In no case should you spit it out, because there are still many useful substances inside!
The wax can be chewed in the mouth for a long time, like chewing gum. From the temperature of the human body, it softens and becomes very plastic. Such a procedure will get rid of bacteria and pathogens in the mouth, cure diseases of the throat and upper respiratory tract, and also freshen breath. Chewing honeycomb wax regularly can help relieve gum disease, stomatitis, and chronic sore throat.
Excellent adsorbent
It is also possible to swallow wax, moreover, it is even very useful. The fact is that in the intestine it acts as a natural adsorbent and absorbs many toxic and harmful substances for the body, bringing them out. And since the wax is completely natural and is not absorbed by the intestines, there is no need to worry about any health risks. Of course, the use of honeycomb wax should be within reasonable limits. The portion that you eat along with the maximum acceptable amount of honey is enough.
