In addition to their contributions in adjusting the environment to human beings, the sweetest product that they produce, honey, has nutritional, cosmetic, therapeutic, and industrial values. It is one of the most appreciated, valued and utilized natural sweetening products introduced to humankind since ancient times. It has been approved as a balanced diet and equally popular for males and females in all ages. The main composition of honey is carbohydrates that contribute 95–97% of its dry weight. Furthermore, honey includes main compounds, such as proteins, vitamins, amino acids, minerals and organic acids. Pure honey also consists of fructose and glucose which are the most important sugars of honey and contribute to its most nutritional and physical effects. One of its surprising properties of honey is that it does not need refrigeration as it can never "spoils" and thus it can be stored in closed containers at room temperature in a dry place. It is used not only as a nutritional product but also as an alternative treatment for clinical conditions ranging from wound healing to cancer treatment. Nowadays, information on the usage of honey for the cure of many human diseases can be found in magazines, journals and leaflets. 

 

Few of its benefits in the area of human health are discussed as follows: Honey has an absorbing property and speeds up the growth of tissue; as a result, wounds heal faster and rids of its stench. The other use of honey is to stop or control burns and inflammation of the eye. Inflammation has the main key role in developing chronic diseases including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and arthritis diseases which possess a huge challenge for treatment. With massively compelling evidence of the role played by nutritional modulation in preventing inflammation-related diseases, honey is a natural and functional food with its therapeutic and preventive actions.
 

Honey can also facilitate digestion by stimulating the secretion of gastric juice. It is particularly effective as laxative because it eases the bowels. It helps as remedy for gastritis and gastric ulcers by reducing hyperacidity. It can save patients from "heartburn" and belching. It can get rid of winds and improves appetite. Studies have proved that honey has observable and measurable effect on the heart. As it has much easily assimilated glucose. The muscles of the heart work continuously and need glucose in order to make up the energy expended. People with colds are advised to take honey with warm milk or lemon. It causes the patient to sweat a great deal and relieves her/him of pain. It also helps in treating a runny nose, get rid of sputum and soothing a cough.
 

The other medical use of honey is its application as a cure for kidney. It speeds up urination and gives relief when there is a problem to piss. People suffering from exhaustion and headache are advised to drink a glass of water in "which" honey and lemon juice are mixed. It also helps in improving memory and sharpening wits. Studies conducted on the health benefits of honey inform us that those people, who regularly add honey to their food, generate different amazing ideas and are propeller thinkers. Modern experiments and observations reveal that there is every reason to consider honey as a remedy. It owes its "curative" properties mainly to the glucose it contains. "Dentists" have no doubts about the harmful effects of sugar on the teeth. It has been established that the remains of sugar in the mouth break down under the effect of bacteria to form an acid. As a result, the teeth become affected with carries. Honey, on the other hand, reacts against the harmful bacteria due to its antibiotic properties and disinfects them and makes both the teeth and mouth healthy. Furthermore, research has confirmed that children like honey better than sugar. Therefore, parents should try their best to include honey as a major item in their children’s diet.
