Honey has been used in medical practices for as far back as 4,000 years ago. In fact, it was used to treat imbalances in the body and indigestion in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. Currently, modern medicine is proving once again the varied medical uses of honey. If you have heard of food as medicine, honey can be a great substitute for sugar because it does not carry the negative health impact that table sugar har. Another benefit of honey is that it can be used as a cough remedy but do remember that it is not advisable for children under one-year-old to consume honey. Here is a quick list of honey’s potent medicinal properties:

  • Can fight infection from a bacterium that causes severe diarrhea.
  • It lines the stomach and esophagus thereby reducing acid reflux.
  • Honey can be used topically to treat wounds.
