7 of the most healing types of honey

Honey has a pretty interesting meaning. Translated, the word means enchantment or something endowed with magical properties. And this is not surprising, since this is the only product that is able to heal from any disease, bestow wisdom and youth. We present 7 of the most healing types of honey.

It is considered one of the best among all types of honey. Its taste will never be confused with any other: it tickles your throat every now and then when you taste it. Buckwheat honey is much darker than all other varieties: its color ranges from dark yellow to dark brown. It is produced by bees from buckwheat flowers. If we compare buckwheat honey with light honeys, then it is twice as rich in trace elements and amino acids, and therefore the most useful.

The benefits of this honey are enormous: it treats anemia, hypertension, vitamin deficiencies, stomatitis, gastritis, skin diseases, colds, and restores protein metabolism. Buckwheat honey is often used in cooking as a component of the dough, the basis for compotes.

Its characteristic feature is the absence of color or a light amber shade, as well as an extraordinary aroma. This honey is characterized not only by high taste, but also healing. Depending on where the honey was grown, it tastes completely different. So, linden honey collected in the Far East has the most delicate taste, and that which was brought from the European part of the Russian Federation is characterized by a sharp bouquet, when the taste and aroma are palpable in the mouth, tickling the throat.

This honey is indispensable in the treatment of angina, bronchial asthma, bronchitis, laryngitis, rhinitis, kidney, stomach and intestinal diseases, burns and wounds.

This is truly the most famous type of honey. One hectare of flowering acacia allows the bee to collect more than 1500 kilograms of honey. A bee colony collects up to 8 kilograms of product from one tree. After being pumped out, this honey is colorless, and during crystallization it smoothly acquires a white tint. The characteristic difference of this honey is that the content of glucose and fructose in it is practically equal.

Acacia honey is used as a general tonic, helps with gastrointestinal, kidney and nervous system diseases. It is also an excellent remedy for insomnia and a sedative.

An ideal product for connoisseurs of bitter taste. It only slightly tastes of bitterness, tart. It varies in color from dark yellow to reddish brown. Its differences are considered to be slow crystallization, the strongest viscosity. When it thickens, it begins to resemble jelly in consistency, in the middle of which a huge number of air bubbles form. But if this honey is mixed, it will become liquid again. Extraordinarily rich in minerals.

Heather honey is effective in the absence of appetite, vascular diseases, helps with diseases of the nervous system.

This is a rather dark, thick honey, which has a pleasant bitterness. Its characteristic feature is that it crystallizes unusually slowly.

Chestnut honey has antimicrobial properties, it is also seen in beneficial effects on the gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular system. This honey significantly increases the body's defenses, helping to cope with kidney disease. The main suppliers of chestnut honey in Russia are Altai, Kuban and Adygea.

It is distinguished by exceptional transparency and light amber shade. This honey gives off an unusually pleasant smell, and its taste is moderately sweet. Crystallizes rather slowly, changing color to white.
Esparcet honey is considered a particularly valuable variety, as it is unusually rich in vitamins, biologically active substances and minerals. It contains a lot of carotene, ascorbic acid and valuable enzymes.
This honey has a general strengthening effect, calms the nervous system, strengthens the capillaries.

Contains a great variety of substances useful to humans. It can have a completely different color: from light amber to white, which is characterized by a greenish tint. Melilot honey has a great taste, harmoniously mixed with a light bitterness. You will never forget the aroma of this honey with a subtle hint of vanilla. It is known to be extremely popular with honey connoisseurs.
Melilot honey effectively helps with intestinal problems, venous diseases, relieves inflammation from the gastrointestinal tract, dilates blood vessels, and normalizes metabolism. This product is an excellent solution for insomnia, as a sedative. When used in the form of compresses with propolis or a patch, it relieves pain from cuts, wounds, sprains and bruises.

What is the healthiest honey? A well-known fact: honey has a whole range of useful and medicinal properties. Whichever variety we are talking about - this product is all good. It is not easy to be the main companion in the treatment of colds, but it also perfectly strengthens the immune system, relieves of many diseases and ailments. Nowadays, there are many varieties of this beekeeping product, but which honey is the most useful?

What is the best variety?

Undoubtedly, each type of honey is useful, and although there are many types of it, the most popular and most useful varieties are still distinguished. These include:

1. Buckwheat. From the name it can be understood that bees delight us with this species thanks to buckwheat, and this variety can be given the title "good honey", as it helps with such a disease as anemia.
2. Lime. A well-known variety for many people, because it is he who is really the most delicious honey, as well as the best remedy for colds, and is also good for the heart.
3. Clover. He is the best friend for women, because he copes well with gynecological diseases.
4. Donnikovy.One of the most useful varieties of the product for respiratory diseases and has an excellent healing effect on wounds and boils.
5. Mustard. This variety is truly valuable for people who suffer from asthma and bronchitis.
6. Acacia. It has, perhaps, the most pleasant smell and incredible taste, but apart from that, this variety is a salvation for insomnia and bowel diseases.
7. Crimson. Everyone loves raspberries since childhood, they have a very pleasant taste, and raspberry honey is considered very tasty and is undoubtedly in demand among young children. It helps with colds and kidney problems.

These are the main varieties of honey, which are sometimes simply necessary for the treatment of various diseases. But in order to understand which honey is better, you should know that the most valuable is considered to be honey of the first pumping. People can often hear that it is called May. Although he is rated ahead of all the others, it is quite difficult to meet him and the cost of such a honey miracle will be quite expensive. But it is not worth one hundred percent to assert when answering the question, what kind of honey is the most, that it is he.

Another one of the rarest, and therefore one of the best, is considered a monofloral bee product, which is collected from only one type of plant. This honey is good for the heart and helps in many diseases. But it is quite difficult for a layman to determine which honey is the best, and that is why you can easily fall for the tricks of an unscrupulous seller and buy not monofloral or first-pumped honey, but the most common one, collected from various herbs and lying for a long time.

Many cannot use honey because of a terrible allergy to this product, but in no case should you despair, since there is a way out. It is the acacia variety that should be used, since it does not cause allergies in any person, and has no less useful properties than many others, and also soothes and restores well after a hard day's work.

How to choose the right honey?

In order not to make a mistake with the choice of the most useful variety, such a product should be purchased exclusively at trusted points of sale, where the quality of the product sold, including for medical purposes, is confirmed by a special certificate.

You should be wary if you see this valuable product at a very low price, because it would be a clear sign of counterfeiting. A good and high-quality beekeeping product is best chosen by its appearance to a person who understands little about it. This method is not one hundred percent, but it can help in choosing.

Most often, when making a purchase, people look exactly at the color of honey. It can range from light yellow to dark, almost brownish color. And, as a rule, a person looks at honey, whose color is light and almost transparent, believing that it is the most useful. This is an erroneous opinion, and the most useful honey that bears in itself is precisely dark.

Ask the seller for a spoon to test the quality of his product. If the honey that you want to buy forms a hill, then this is excellent honey, but if it forms a so-called pit, then this product is immature and should not be purchased.

There are several proven ways by which you can be sure of the quality of a product, but, unfortunately, it is absolutely impossible to put them on the counter where it is sold. A good beekeeping product flows down the spoon smoothly and beautifully, and the product that they want to literally "slip" into will drip down unevenly.

If you decide to check its quality, after purchase, in order to decide whether it is worth taking from this seller next time, you need to drip 5 drops of iodine into diluted water with honey. In case of blue discoloration or slight hiss, we can say for sure that it is of poor quality.

Highest quality product

The best beekeeping product is, of course, high-quality honey. In addition to the rules listed above, there are also the simplest, but one hundred percent options. The best honey should be ripe, and just pour a small amount into a spoon to determine maturity. A mature and good beekeeping product will not drip from the spoon and will be poured like folds.

Natural honey without various additives can be determined using the simplest stick, which is dipped into a jar of honey, and then gradually taken out. When draining, it should remain in the jar in an even heap, and not be sprayed all over the jar. Foams, a natural product should not, because for medical reasons, it is bactericidal.

When choosing, it doesn't hurt to take a small bottle of vinegar with you and ask to drop it on a spoonful of honey, since most often chalk dust is mixed into it, which begins to actively interact with vinegar and emits a characteristic sound, which should immediately scare you off.

You should not be afraid to experiment when choosing honey, because conscientious sellers and manufacturers will never be afraid of a single check, since they have complete confidence in its quality, but unscrupulous sellers who are chasing only profit will undoubtedly be wary and will not allow you to perform the required check.

How to store honey properly?

If you have chosen the best beekeeping product and want to preserve its beneficial properties, then you should know a few rules. The main rule is no light, because it interferes with the preservation of all the beneficial properties and vitamins that it contains.
