Have a bit of raw honey around the house? If not, maybe you should. This tasty tea-sweetener isn't only good for improving peanut butter toast or adding a hint of sugar to your morning cup.
Raw honey has a host of other health benefits too. Once you read all the benefits from the list below, you'll want to stock up on honey the next time you are the store.
1. Use honey as a natural wound treatment.
Apply honey to a wound and take advantage of its natural antibiotic properties. Honey has been used as a treatment for thousands of years and works because both the physical properties (gooey and sticky) and biological properties (acidity and osmolarity) work together. In short: try swiping some honey on that scraped knee instead of store-bought cream for a natural healer.
2. A spoonful of raw honey before bed may help you sleep.
