Garlic honey also soothes a sore throat. It also makes a wonderful application for acne or herpes lesions. Rather than taking Pepcid AC or Maalox to relieve the symptoms of pain, heartburn, indigestion and nausea, it would be more helpful to tale some honey instead. At least that's what Basil J.S. Grogono claims in an article he wrote sometime in 1995 in Canada's Medical Post. He said that the lowly honeybee made a substance that was better than all drugs or surgeries employed by gastroenterologists in the last several decades.
Honey can add softness and fresh beauty to the skin.
The wife of a beekeeper noticed that her husband's hands were always wonderfully soft and smooth during honey-collection season. Each day, before my bath, I tuck by hair inside a shower cap, splash warm water on my face and neck to open the pores, then apply honey directly to my skin. Because of the composition of honey, it causes the skin tissue to hold moisture. Dry skin cells plump up and wrinkles tend to smooth away. This sweet substance, when applied to the skin, seems to bring a glow of pink, where only paleness was there before.
