Medical honey: Expert gives tips on remedies for the immune system and skin

Bee honey is valued for its antiseptic and antibacterial properties. It is rich in calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium, strengthens the immune system, promotes wound healing, serves as an antioxidant, regulates blood sugar, supports the metabolism, and promotes restful sleep. But honey is also said to help against acne, dermatitis, and allergies, as it gives our skin a lot of moisture and can be used, for example, as lip care.

Maria Violante, herbalist and skincare developer at Formula Botanica School UK, shared with us how to make your own sustainable medicinal honey. "It is important to find a honey producer who is well versed in harvesting and regenerating the beehives. Honey is suitable for ages two and over," says Violante.

Medicinal honey has a positive effect on the skin.

Medical honey: this is how you can make it yourself

Preparation

Fill ⅓ of glass with herbs of your choice. We recommend one or two different herbs.
Then add enough honey to the jar until the plants are covered. Then cover the jar with a cotton cloth, for example, and let the mixture rest for seven days.
After this time you can close the honey airtight with a lid. Store it in a dark place out of direct sunlight.
Then let the honey rest for another 15 days before consuming it, ideally a lunar cycle (28 days).

How often can you take medicinal honey?

Honey with tea tree essential oil provides antioxidants and clears impurities from the skin.

You can consume the honey daily to prevent disease. It is the ideal tonic to stimulate the immune system. Take a spoonful in the morning before breakfast. In acute complaints, you can take three tablespoons of honey a day before meals. Of course, you can also take care of your skin with medicinal honey.

Which honey is good for the skin?

Marigold and rose honey are suitable for sensitive skin; tea tree essential oil can be added to the honey for acne. On the other hand, honey with roses or cocoa is a powerful antioxidant. "All of these honey variants reduce impurities and protect and care for the skin. I recommend using honey twice a week as a mask or as a light peeling," says Violante.
