lunita 57 Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 i love honey ..really good for you..if you buy local honey is supposed to be good for if you have hayfever as it helps your body get used to the local pollen. While normal honey has healing properties manuka honey has antibacterial properties so if you have a cut or sore throat its manuka honey should use...it has a potency number on label higher number the higher the antibacterial properties...but also usually higher the price i think its only produced in new zealand..

martin 332 Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 It is very good for you especially Manuka Honey for some reason,but,if you're like me then it aint so good for you,cos I am diabetic...ba5tard!!!! But,saying that,I do occassionally have a bit on some toast,and I do use it on wounds on me and the dogs.....great stuff. Martin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When you say 'hospital' you really mean that little clearance in the woods where the druids still hang about don't you? It's about time you lot entered the 21st century..

NEWKID 27,150 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 I've never put it on a wound before like a mug I went and brought germoline............. But I do like it on roasted carrots Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnGalway 1,043 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Yes, it's good for you but in moderation I'd say. I buy mine from a local beekeeeper, it's much better than the massed produced shite you get from a supermarket and it's cheaper plus it's good to support the local beekeepers. It tastes better too. I drizzle some on my porridge every morning, along with a handful of raisins and a chopped banana. Keeps me going until dinnertime. Try some cinnamon and honey in porridge, very nom! Had a nasty burn once and a honey soaked gauze and bandage were put on it in hospital. Healed very well too. Egg white is supposed to be very good for burns, not tried it myself but heard of chefs doing it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
