Benefits of Honey as a Sweetener

• Raw Highland Honey is an unaltered ‘living’ food; it has not been refined, heated or bleached.
• Honey supplies an energy hit to the brain within minutes, but also sustains that energy boost by fuelling the liver’s store of energy.
• Honey is recuperative – it restores the body’s energy at an amazing rate.
• Honey has a gentle laxative effect and supports friendly gut bacteria, aiding digestion throughout the day.
• Honey hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs water – honey will even extract water from a stone or a pebble.  In the body it reduces excess water from cells, helping prevent oedema, swelling caused by accumulated water in cells and tissues.
• Honey boosts the immune system and has an antibacterial effect both internal and externally, helping the body heal.
