Life Is The Flower For Which Love Is The Honey

Dear Holistic Health & Natural Healing Friends:

"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best -- " and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.” -A.A. Milne

It's time to get our honey eating on!

Honey is one of the best, most ancient protectors from sickness that exists in the human diet. Honey helps to keep cells moist, fights infection, and adds vibrance to our bodies.

There are many, different kinds of honey which come from bees that eat nectar and carry pollen from different varieties of flowers! Honey ranges in color and potency from dark amber (almost molasses colored), to a light gold (sunshine-colored). On the whole, the darker the honey, the more micronutrients.

Here are some delightful uses for honey:

Yogurt
Oatmeal
Cookies
Dressings
Sandwiches (Peanut Butter & Honey, etc.)
Breads
Fish or Meat Dishes
Stir Frys
Tea
Coffee
Facial Masks
Body Moisturizers
Natural Household Cleansers

Or taste it by the teaspoonful as a sweet, medicinal treat for the day!

Be sure to buy your honey as local, organic, and unprocessed as possible for the greatest potency & cleanest batch.

You may also, wish to ask your local beekeeper for beeswax to make homemade candles with!

When Victor Hugo made the statement, 'Life is the flower for which love is the honey'...

He might, just as easily, have stated, 'Life is the flower for which honey is the love'.

Peace, Love & Healing
