You’ve heard that a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, but with a spoonful of honey you can forget the medicine all together. After decades of turning up their noses at this ancient cure, doctors are now starting to turn sweet on honey.
Honey is not only a tasty sweetener, but a natural antibiotic and wound healer. Four thousand years ago the Egyptians used honey to treat infected wounds.
Aristotle (384-322 BC) claimed that honey was “good as a salve for sore eyes and wounds.”
Greek physician, Dioscorides (40-90 AD), considered it “good for all rotten and hollow ulcers.” In India honey is said to be a panacea for eye diseases.
