Honey is food of Gods.I use honey for medicinal purposes.In my office we use Royal Jelly,A grade for fatigue,fibromyalgia,improving fertility,or to improve vitality.
I use Manuka honey which has 12 to 15 antibacterial components.I have used Manuka honey lozenges for sore throat and cough.
All these are available at my office at all times.
There was an article in Science Daily recently which suggests that bioactiveconstituents of honey may provide alternate modes of antibacterial action.honey has ability to fight infection on multiple levels making it more difficult for bacteria to develop resistance.honey uses, hydrogen peroxide,acidity,osmotic effect,high sugar concentrations,polyphenols,to fight infection.
