Honey has a wide range of applications. It can be used as food, food additive, as a preventive. It can be used in pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. Because of its many good properties and the ingredients, people of all ages can benefit from taking honey on a daily basis. Maximum daily dose of honey is 1.5 grams per kg of body weight (when used for treatment) and minimum (the prophylactic dose) is 0.5 grams per kg of body weight (when used for prevention). Honey should be taken with water, tea, milk, or some other liquid and it should not be swallowed immediately, but rather after it was kept in one’s mouth for as long as possible. This is due to honey`s swift absorption into blood. The best effects are achieved if honey is used in combination with other bee products, such as pollen, propolis, royal jelly or beeswax, disregarding its application (as food, preventive, or medicine). When used with these bee products, honey retains its properties. It can also be enriched with certain herbal substances. Honey plays an important role in the treatment of certain diseases. One of these is anemia. People with this problem are deficient in certain elements, such as iron, cobalt, etc. Since honey contains many microelements, it can help people with anemia stop the advance of the disease. In this case, honey should be combined with pollen and royal jelly in a ratio of 1000:100:1 and taken on a daily basis over a long period of time until recovery. Bacteria cannot live in honey. Thanks to its potassium content, bacteria are deprived of water and destroyed. Because of these antimicrobial properties, honey can be used for prevention and treatment of diseases caused by bacteria. It can also alleviate arthritis related pain and cough. In children, it can help with unpleasantness during urination. Muscle spasms in feet, legs, eye and lip can be cured within several days by taking two teaspoons of honey with every meal. People prone to such spasms should continue to use it preventively. Honey can be used in burns for prevention of various related skin problems. Honey is recommended to healthy and sick individuals alike. It can help boost the immune system. In combination with pollen, propolis and royal jelly, honey is a potent bio-stimulant. Treatments with such honey are performed four times a year, with regenerative effects on both the young and old.
