If you are struggling to get enough sleep at night, try eating a spoonful of raw honey. According to Medical Daily, "honey can cause a rise in insulin and release serotonin ... "The body converts serotonin into melatonin, a chemical compound that regulates the length and the quality of sleep.” Noshing on a bit of honey before you hit the sack will help your body produce natural sleep aids so you get better sleep at night.
3. Rehydrate yourself with a honey and citruses based electrolyte drink.
Add honey to a natural electrolyte drink to reap the energy-boosting benefits in the natural sweetener. Try this recipe: Combine 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup lemon juice, 2 cups filtered water, 2 to 4 tablespoons of honey and 1/8 teaspoon of unrefined salt in a blender and mix until honey is completely combined.
4. Honey may be used as an anti-fungal.
Not only is honey a great way to treat wounds, because of its natural antibacterial properties, you can also use it to treat nasal infections and fungal infections (like athletes foot).
