10/23/2020 0 Comments Why We Use Raw Honey Raw honey is different from the pasteurized honey you usually find on grocery store shelves. The processed varieties are heated to high temperatures and filtered, which destroys beneficial pollen and antioxidants. We love using raw honey in our Elderberry Syrup for the added health benefits it has, including:
• Bee Pollen There are over 250 beneficial compounds found in bee pollen, which can only be found in raw forms of honey. It contains vitamins, micronutrients, and amino acids that can help with everything from liver function to cardiovascular health. • Antioxidants Raw honey contains a variety of plant compounds called polyphenols that provide antioxidant benefits in your body. These can reduce inflammation and the risk of chronic disease. Raw honey contains 4 times more polyphenols than processed honey. • Antibacterial and Antifungal Raw honey is a natural antimicrobial agent for your body that can kill harmful bacteria and stifle the growth of yeast. • Sore Throat and Cough Remedy Studies have found that honey can be as effective as over-the-counter cough medicines and you’ll also get relief from sore throats as it provides a protective coating - all from a natural source. • Digestive Health It’s been found that raw honey is a potent prebiotic and can feed the good bacteria in your intestines. It’s also been found to protect against stomach ulcers and even treat diarrhea. • Variety of Nutrients While the amounts are small, there are an impressive amount of nutrients found in raw honey including 22 amino acids, 31 minerals, and many other vitamins and enzymes like iron and manganese.

Let’s look at some other health benefits of raw honey:
• Bee Pollen - Only raw honey retains bee pollen and the micronutrients it provides. There are around 250 different substances found in bee pollen such as vitamins, fatty acids, and amino acids. Studies have shown that bee pollen can improve liver function and reduce the risk of stroke. • Antioxidants - All honey contains plant compounds called polyphenols, but raw honey contains up to 4 times as much as processed honey. Polyphenols have been shown to reduce inflammation, lower risk of heart disease and certain cancers, and act as an antioxidant in your body. • Sore Throat Relief - Honey provides a protective coating for your throat to offer you some relief. • Cough Remedy - Studies have shown that honey can be as effective as the ingredient dextromethorphan that’s in most over the counter cough medicines. You’ll get cough-reducing benefits but from a natural source. • Wound Healing - Honey has potent antibacterial and antifungal properties and has been shown to be effective in clearing infection in wounds and protecting them from becoming infected. • Improve Digestive Issues - All it takes is 1 to 2 tbsp of raw honey on an empty stomach to offer pain relief and healing for ulcers that occur in the digestive system.
