   The name honey is a Hebrew word meaning
"enchant," and treatment with honey is refered to as Aptherapy. This therapy uses raw honey or honey that
has not been filtered, heated or processed in any form.

carbohydrate content yet also contains vitamins, minerals,
protein, and enzymes. Honey replenishes energy,  aids physical stamina and strenghtens those weakened by illness, and be used without side effects.

It is soothing for external and internal skin...internal is what we call muscous membranes. Applied externally, honey is useful for healing minor cuts, abrasions and burns by drawing excess water from the tissues and reducing swelling. In addition it contains a germ killing substance called inhibine, which helps prevent infection. Wounds treated with honey generally heal faster and with less scaring. Long standing ulcers have responded to honey and it has been useful for all kinds of stomach troubles. Honey from the nectar of the Manuka flower is reported to completely stop the growth of ulcer causing bacteria. This honey contains substances that appear to build up the stomachs protective lining, and has potent antibacterial abilities.
