    My top sore throat and cough remedy is Ginger Tea with honey in it. I cut 4-8 slices of fresh ginger, each about the size of a quarter (how many you use depends on the size of your mug and how strong you want it) add the ginger to a mug of boiling water let is steep for 15 minutes remove the ginger add the honey and enjoy this natural remedy that also tastes really good.

    Just make sure the label states Pure, Raw, Unprocessed or similar. If it doesn't, then it's not. Most commercial "honey" is a mix of sugar, artificial flavor and a little bit of actual honey, often as little as 5% just so they can still call it honey.

    I'm not sure where you live, but in most of the Western world those two things would be firmly against the law. It isn't even considered honey anymore if it has been filtered to remove all the pollen. www.honey.com/files/general/Honey-Definitions.pdf "The definition of honey stipulates a pure product that does not allow for the addition of any other substance. This includes, but is not limited to, water or other sweeteners." You cannot sell an oil mixture and call it pure olive oil, legally. That doesn't prevent companies from cheating, of course. So you should buy California olive oil since it has rarely been found to have been adulterated, while Greek, Italian, and Spanish "extra virgin" olive oil is routinely sold in amounts that exceed its production.

    Hi Thoughty2, I like your videos quite a lot, and I learned a lot in this video. I wanted to point out, however, that it is inaccurate to call honey "bee vomit" as the "honey stomach" in which the bees take in the nectar is not a digestive organ. The honey stomach is an expandable organ that bees carry either water or nectar back to the hive with. It is physically attached to the digestive organs but has a valve that is one way, in that it will not allow partially digested food, back through the bee, such as when a human vomits. This honey stomach adds an enzyme into the nectar that changes it chemically by converting the sucrose in nectar (disacharride) into fructose and glucose (two monoshaccharides). It is transferred to different bees a few times before getting deposited into the honey cell, but never enters the digestive tract. It is then dehydrated until it is below 20% water and capped with wax to preserve the low water content that makes honey so "magical". That being said, great video and keep it up!

Nectar is regurgitated but it's from the bee's honey stomach, not quite the same as what we think of as vomit but I suppose it's close enough. Oddly enough I have no problem eating bee vomit.

    My wolfdog escaped her pen one day when I went shopping. In the few hours I was away from home she got horrifically injured on her paw. The vet said it looked very much like she had been caught in a steel trap. The bones in her foot had been partially pulverized, a portion of it had to be amputated and the remainder was basically a flaying. They tried to sew it up, but the swelling and position made it difficult. The vet was not super hopeful about being able to get it healed. I changed her bandages twice a day and filled the wound up with raw honey. Except for the partial amputation, you can not tell anything happened. She healed beautifully. The vet was so impressed that he started telling his other patients about raw honey. We use it for all open wounds in my family. It’s good stuff.

    Priceless video. For the past fifteen years or so, I've been producing videos generally for plaintiff's attorneys. Many of these, as you can imagine, are detailing the neglect and abuse often seen at extended care facilities (Nursing Homes). Keep in mind, many of these facilities do a wonderful job helping supply the needs of elderly or severely disabled people, but that's beside the point. One of the most common causes for complaint, one that often results in death is the development of decubitus ulcers or "bed sores." Often starting at he sacrum or base of the spine or on the heels, these wounds start out as little reddened, sore places on the skin and can develop into "Stage Four" ulcers that eat right down to the bone. Horrible, horrible wounds complete with drainage, necrotic tissue, stench and eventually infection of the blood stream causing death. These wounds are horribly difficult to treat, with all kinds of advanced care and debridement not even slowing the progress. But you'll never guess what is showing miraculous results... honey. The worst wounds are being coated with medical grade (no botulism) honey or bandages soaked in honey and we're often seeing wounds reverse course giving hope and a much needed comfort to those least likely to get any other relief. It is amazing - almost to the point of doubting random occurrences and serendipity - how many things are out there if we'll just open our eyes to the possibilities. Thanks again for a very educational and entertaining piece!

    Pressure sores are the WORST! I work in a nursing home and unfortunately the staffing levels are always just below workable even if we were to run from room to room. Where there is aggressive and challenging behaviour from the residents, we can only reapproach them 3 times per shift and I am particularly successful in getting permission to reposition these vulnerable people in pain. However, most are two-assist and generally my partner will be denied entry which is the residents right to do so. This results in very poor outcomes and many avoidable pressure injuries, the worst I've seen was definitely down to the bone and 10cm in diameter. This person had come to our facility after being left in her recliner chair for a month straight... Not even toileted or a sponge bath. It's absolutely horrific and she was on morphine every two hours because the pain and infection was so bad she became delirious... Unfortunately the infection killed her. Prevention is better than cure and I think nursing staff need to have a little less fear and a lot more gentle reasoning when it comes to approaching someone who is not only vulnerable, but isolated in a mind that plays tricks on them and trapped in a body that doesn't function like it used to. We still have to put our own safety first, but if they're miserable, it could be that gentle reasoning that helps them to accept care and have some dignity in taking part in it, in even the smallest way possible. I hope the benefit of honey can be introduced in my workplace, we've had so many viral outbreaks and the least we can do if their advanced care directive doesn't allow life saving medicine, is to to provide comfort with some proven natural remedies. Unfortunately a lot of the next of kin or public guardians tick the box that says do NOT perform life saving actions or treatments such as antibiotics or CPR... They just send in a priest :(

    First hand experience here too. My elderly Alzheimers mum, bed bound mother developed a sacrum bed sore. She had District nurses twice a week and a care company daily (insisted upon by social services and which cost us £110,000 over five years). The nurses noticed the sore sacrum and all but accused me of doing it…abusing my mum. They took more advice and decided eventually not to pursue me further (nice of them - bearing in mind the ramifications for me if abuse was decided upon. Mum would have been removed and I could have been jailed all upon a nurse's "professional" opinion). Long story shorter…The nurses just kept applying fresh dressings to the worsening sacrum area until it opened into a large hole of raw meat. As mum's condition declined she became a frail skeleton since the Alzheimers stopper her feeding adequately…and the carers did not try too hard to feed her because she was "Not interested" in eating as they kept saying. The nurses with Doctor consent, put her on morphine and finally declared "Nil by mouth". Three days later, skin and bones, she died. Thankfully her awareness must have been gone long before. In conclusion…the Social Services and District Nurses were…Dreadful imo. They seemed to resent me home caring because I was not a 'care professional' but couldn't admit that to my face of course. Several attempts at excuses to remove mum were made on spurious grounds and in a couple of instances outright lies. Naturally, the District Nurses, contracted Care Company, and Social Services all back each other up in manufactured accusations or 'inadequaces'….Thank God for me the GP Doctors were not in that toxic loop and defended me…I also had positive help from the District Occupational Therapist who valiantly fought the District Nurses over mum's special bed equipment…and won. The battles I had with these officious a.holes lasted five years….so when I hear 'nurses are angels' and Social Services are here to help…you'll forgive me being sick!

    Medihoney is the biggest reason I can feel/use my left hand. I had serious 3rd degree burns a few years back and in the treatment process I found I was allergic to silver (often used in burn treatment products). The silver paste was counterproductive. I went to 4 specialists over 10 months, and the last one I visited immediately recommended medihoney. It helped heal, promoted nerve repair, and even acted as a local anesthetic. I no longer needed anything for pain management and the wound healed relatively fast. I'm still amazed by it, it actually helped me get back to life back to normal! TLDR: Bees are cool!

    I thought Thoughty2 might have mentioned that in the 70's, British nurses found that by packing bedsores with honey, it prevented infections and healed the wounds much faster than with conventional medicines. This was because honey absorbed water and robbed bacteria of an environment to multiply at the same time giving skin tissue an environment to generate. Countries around the world followed suit. Of course, prevention is better than cure, but sadly some bed prone patients aren't cared for as well as they might, contributing to bedsores. But that's another topic.

    Forager worker bees have a crop (which is used as an internal storage sack). Between the crop and the bee's true stomach is a valve which can voluntarily allow some nectar through to the stomach for the bees own digestion. When the foraging bee returns to the hive, she regurgitates the nectar from her crop (not the stomach) into the storage cell of the comb. The nectar is continually condensed by the bees ventilating air though the hive. As the water evaporates, the nectar begins to develop its flavor as it thickens to the correct consistency. This is tested by workers who taste it before they decide to cap the cell over with wax.

    Take it from a Beekeeper. If your using honey for its internal medicinal effects then make sure you get the honey that was harvested and produced closest to your house. I didn’t get time to finish the video before work but when beekeepers talk about the medicinal properties of honey there’s always a word present before the word honey. Called “Local” honey. That way the bees are interacting with the pollen and allergens that your body is fighting locally. You wouldn’t want to get honey from upstate New York if you were having allergy problems in Tennessee. You want to go to the closest Beekeeper and get their honey. Believe me, ask any Beekeeper and they will tell you “local honey” is way to relieve many ailments.

It was relatively painless to apply and pretty low maintenance To keep up (nothing more than washing with soap and water in between dressings)

    The acne thing is only partly true. As stated in the video, honey has strong antibacterial effects. Basic acne is caused by an oil (called sebum) mixing with dead skin cells. This causes a plug in the pore and, when more sebum gets backed up behind this plug, it causes blackheads or whiteheads, depending on how close the plug is to the skin's surface. For this, honey is no use at all - unless maybe you leave it to dry there, and hope the sugar crystals work like a Bioré strip... That having been said, bacteria that live on the skin (usually without harm) can infect swollen pores/follicles, and cause those really nasty pimples - pustulant nodules or even cysts. As the video stated: honey (as a super-saturated solution), draws the water out of bacteria by osmosis. Applying honey could well kill off this surface bacteria, reducing the worst pimples. Of course, that only helps the worst of it; the underlying acne is mostly based on hormone levels, which in turn affect the amount of sebum the skin produces.

    @Sadie SmilesI don't think we can assume it was the silver here. You should know, in clinical trials, colloidal silver is shown to be more dangerous than helpful. I am in no position to say it didn't cure your relative but it's FAR less effective than honey typically speaking. Our body is not supposed to have silver in it, it is proven that when ingested, it is not metabolised, either permanently remaining in the body (causing permanent skin discoloration) or coming out in urine or feces as it's inert, and that what our bodies with inert chemicals. Applied topically, as in patches, it has antimicrobial properties that can help an open wound remain sterile long enough to properly heal, but your body does not use the silver in any meaningful way. Seeing as colloidal silver currently has a big alternative healthcare market right now, (which I hope you agree as a whole alt helathcare is mostly bullshit with only the rare solution actually being effective at all), it's not likely my random youtube comments is gonna change your opinion of a chemical with lots of testimony, just remember almost every debunked cure had testimony all the same, and there's more to science than saying "look at these people who got better coincidentally when they took cure x." Even if you think I'm wrong about colloidal silver, I still hope you get something out of reading this, as we should always remain vigilant when talking about anything that enters our body, regardless if it's "all natural" or "modern medicine." No one person understands the body well enough yet to get it all right, not the people making the cures, or the ones testing, taking, or approving them. Modern science can only predict short term results, and can only understand long term effects well enough by long term use studied as objectively as possible in as great a sample size as possible. So I could be wrong about colloidal silver, but the evidence out there is enough that I feel it's irresponsible for people to recommend it full-heartedly or attribute to healing.

I've only ever lost one filling and it was because of an abscess from an impacted molar... Clove oil added to honey goes toward GREAT, because it has natural chemical agents that directly diminish a nerve's ability to communicate the pain impulses... The wax helps form a seal over the open hole... and it's not so quick to dissolve in saliva, the way the honey and clove oil (on their own) would be. That's why I ask. ;o)

I stuck my hand under the light fixture to feel for the blown bulb and immediately thought oh my goodness I am being electrocuted!! That's what it felt like. I jerked my hand out and saw a few yellow jackets. I got stung 4 times before I got the bees off my hand. My hand and fingers felt like I was still being stung forever after. It was so swollen I couldn't really tell if I had been stung more than I thought. Then I remembered that I had a jar of honey my son had given me. I dribbled it all over my stings. I gotta say it sure helped with the pain AND swelling. Don't ever give a child honey never one under 3;yrs old. I listened to my granny she was a smart woman. Cure for coughing, we all lined up for a teaspoon of moonshine. Burned the cough right out of ya. Lol truly

    Little tidbit for you, Thoughty2: Almond honey. Never heard of it? That is because the almond farmers have to PAY the beekeepers to bring their hives to pollinate the trees. Almond honey is not very good tasting (yeah, I was able to try it from an almond farmer's hive in Chico CA). Also, the pollen is rather toxic to the bees. You CAN find almond honey for sale online but be advised that it may be an acquired taste. Last but not least, if you have tree nut allergies, this honey would be a bad idea anyhow.

I tried to put some honey and some of that wax in the hot tea and made a mess (and it took quite some elbow grease to clean up the cup later on). So I'm wondering: what's the point and what that wax can be used for (apart treat old wood furniture I mean)? I mean on us humans.

    Bacteria evolve exceptionally quickly and we've been using it for thousands of years. Just look at how quickly antibiotic-resistant bacteria started popping up as soon as we started over-using antibiotics. If it hasn't evolved to be immune to honey yet then it never will, and the odds of it being immune to honey AND normal antibiotics are little more than a rounding error. As he mentioned, it's a mechanical process that kills the bacteria, so short of completely changing how life works in general they can't really evolve around it.

Imagine you have antibiotic A and you have bacteria with different colors of red, blue and yellow, you get antibiotics for a week, after 2 days of taking it, it kills all the red then after 4 it gets kills of the blue and your symptoms so you stop taking it, now the yellow is going to have a stronger immunity to your drug and you will get sick again and repeat the process.

    Some of the grocery stores honey, has an expiration date on it, and I always wondered why, since honey doesn't expire. What honey does, it becomes stiff after a year, and all you have to do, to bring it back to it's previous softness, is put the bottle in very warm water, for a few hours. This, slowly makes it more liquid, and it goes back to the original state. But it never expires. Not sure why stores have a date imprinted on the bottles...

    I’m a pharmacist - and no I haven’t seen the video yet - but the physicochemical properties of honey are technically anti-infective. Anti bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fungi. I think it’s because of its water content, viscosity, and acidity that makes it so. However, applied in vivo it has no antiinfective properties because the molecules in the honey are simply broken down by various amylases/gastric secretions in our gastrointestinal tract.

    I got my first new car in 1981, a Ford Pinto. Ya, I know, but it’s what I could afford and get financed on my own. It was a simple 4 speed car without Air Conditioning. So one day in the spring, just when it started getting hit I was coming home from playing racket ball, driving with the windows open when I looked to to see a bee had landed on my person. I freaked out, as I’ve never been stung there and have no wish to ever experience that, and while attempting to convince the bee to leave my car I swerved from lane to lane screaming my head off. The police officer behind me took that to mean I had been drinking so he turned on his lights and siren to suggest that I might want to pull over, which I did do. Quite happily too because the bee wasn’t leaving. When the officer came to my door he saw me trying to heard my rider out of the car away from where it would do the most harm. Luckily the officer saw it and attempted to assist my efforts by opening my door and fanning it back and forth quickly, in an attempt to fan the bee out of the car. Finally I got my seat belt off and we both exited the car. He asked me for my license and registration. I gave him my license and invited h8m to remove the registration himself, and he agreed that it would probably be ok to leave it in the car. After checking my license and finding my record clean he allowed me to leave, as soon as the bee was gone. A thorough check turned up the bee had left the vehicle and I was on my way. I don’t know that a bee sting hurts the worst if stung on the penis, but I can assure you I’m not taking any chances!

    Being a wound care doctor, I treat a lot of infected wounds with honey. Patients at first think I’m crazy, but when they see the results, they can’t believe it. Another thing that is good for wound healing are maggots. They eat only the bad necrotic tissue so they create a nice healthy beefy red wound base. The honey is always pure from a bee keeper and the maggots are always sterile. Between these two, my success rate for healing wounds is over 90%. I think it would have been almost 100% if it wasn’t for patient noncompliance.
