I had a wart on my hand for about 10 years. I had heard honey was healing...I treated that wart every day for about 3 weeks (dabbed honey on it).
On the third week, the thing looked wierd and I was afraid I'd done something stupid... well, I bumped it on something, a little blood and the thing fell off. Now, there is barely a shiney spot where it was. Anyone??

Yes! one time, I cut my leg my leg wide open. There was blood everywhere and everyone insisted i go get stiches. I told them nonsense, and for weeks i put honey on the wound. After 2 months my leg was sewn up entirely. It really worked and to this day my leg tastes really sweet as well.

I had never heard of putting honey on a wart or something like that-- amazing ! I try to do a lot of natural remedies and take natural herbs and supplements from my chiropractor more so than traditional prescriptions from a medical doctor.
I do use raw honey in my green tea. And I have taken a spoonful or two to soothe a sore or scratchy throat.

Honey as medicine? Who would have thought of that, just because the ancient Babylonians used it for a host of thing.
1 cosmetics
2 embalming
3 saves
4 sweetener
as we look through all of creation the old things are generally the best.
Now that honey has been discussed take a look at Olive Oil, it's not just for cooking.

Many times as a child when I had a bad cold my Momma would mix honey with whiskey and lemon and it always made me feel better. Whenever I get truly sick, I still use that age old remedy because it works.

Many healing properties. My first aid kit is in my fridge...a 1kg jar of Manuka honey, it has more medicinal properties than any other of which I am aware...check it out on the net. Hospitals around the world are using it for burn patients, it has other surprises too.

Yes, Woodsmoke, as a singer, I always had trouble with straining my voice, and they would tell me to take whiskey and honey, I guess it worked, I don't know cause the whiskey always zonked me out!! But I think the honey by itself, soothes and draws up the skin, and helps it !!
