According to the ancient texts of Vedic Medicine, Ayurveda, honey is easily digestible and supports improved digestion.It is good for the eyes (vision), good for the voice, and gives suppleness to the physiology.
Honey helps the complexion as it enters into the minute pores it purifies and clears the channels (Shrotas) of the physiology.
It can support mental functioning. It is very nourishing to the natural healing process. In Ayurveda, it is also called Rasayana, because of its rejuvenating action in the physiology.
It enhances the immune system: Honey can stimulate B-lymphocytes and T-lymphocytes to multiply, thus boosting the immune system.
It helps to reduce inflammation: Honey has anti-inflammatory properties independent of its properties that combat bacterial infection. Inflammation has been reduced by honey when there were no infections involved.
It helps in stimulating cell growth: When wounds show no signs of healing for a long period of time and then are treated with Maharishi Vedic Organic Honey, the healing process, and cell regeneration begins.
Honey has the ability to support the body’s natural healing process and has enhanced the immune response to many bacteria-related diseases. Four main characteristics of honey are responsible for its antibacterial properties:
• Osmolarity: The high osmolarity of honey kills bacteria and fungi by drawing water from their cells.
• Acidity: Honey has a pH value of around four, and is therefore acidic. This acidity inhibits the growth of most bacteria.
• Hydrogen peroxide production: Honey has the necessary components to produce miniscule amounts of H2O2 over a prolonged period of time. This slow-release capability makes honey an ideal substance to use in the treatment of wounds and bacteria-caused disorders.
• Floral nectar component: Some nectars contain as yet unknown substances with antibacterial properties. Flavonoids, which are beneficial substances produced by plants, are also found in honey and are felt by some to contribute to honey’s antibacterial properties. In combination, these four values make honey a unique and powerful antibacterial agent.
