Known as “the nectar of the gods,” honey has long been prized for its healing powers. Bees turn ﬂower nectar into honey, producing about 55 pounds per hive each year. Beyond its sweetness, honey offers many health beneﬁts — here are six.

1. Honey is rich in polyphenols, plant compounds that may aid digestion, brain health, and disease protection.

2. Antioxidants found in honey might be associated with a reduced risk of heart disease.

3. The Mayo Clinic says studies suggest that honey might offer antidepressant, anticonvulsant and antianxiety beneﬁts.

4. Honey’s ﬂavonoids and polyphenols help reduce inﬂammation, making it a gentler alternative to sugar.

5. The World Health Organization and the American Academy of Pediatrics both endorse honey as a natural cough remedy. However, honey should not be given to children under the age of one.

6. Manuka honey can be applied topically to treat cuts and sores. This speciﬁc type of honey is found to be both antibacterial and antifungal. Raw honey of other types has been used to treat burns and wounds for centuries. TF259176
