The Benefit of Honey

Honey has been used for ages to treat colds and other problems. Ancient medicine curers used honey not just as a medicine, but also as an embalmment and in ointments. Honey also has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties and is known to soothe a sore throat. The therapeutic properties in honey make it thus perfect to use with cannabinoids. Together they make a potent shot to up the immune system.

Honey also helps to heal wounds and fight against staph infections. It is especially helpful against bacterial infections in the digestive tract and was even found to have an effect on E Coli and Salmonella. Honey also is a superfood that can´t expire. The anti-microbial properties in honey mean that organisms that would like to spoil honey can´t survive in it. All that happens to honey over time is for it to crystallize and that can be corrected by heating it up again.

How CBD and THC helps

THC and CBD have their own medicinal properties. The two main cannabinoids THC (delta9-tertrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (Cannabidiol), are found in large concentrations in the cannabis plant. As they both show therapeutic benefits, in and edible form they contribute to the bioavailability of hours of relief against pain and discomfort.

CBD is very good at treating pain and mood changes that are not uncommon to people suffering from a cold or the flu. As an anti-inflammatory, it helps to reduce headaches and sore throats. It also promotes better sleeping habits. THC also reliefs pain and acts as an anti-inflammatory. It furthermore acts as an anti-emetic. This is a great contribution as those suffering from colds often feel like vomiting.

We already established that honey, together with the cannabinoids THC and CBD, have great potential to combat the common cold or the flu. But it is no the only medical condition it is good for.
