Honey is a substance that not only provides a feast to the taste buds but also nourishes our body and heals several small and big health problems. Our ancestors gifted us several powerful legacies that enlighten and empower people all across the globe today. Ayurveda is one of them that allow us to explore and utilize the fruits of nature to stay healthy and get healed. It has an elaborate description of honey and its health benefits.
Honey is a clear liquid like substance with almost 80% water and complex sugars prepared by bees from the nectar of various flowers by ingesting and regurgitating the nectar through their honey stomachs and storing it in combs of the hive. It contains several minerals, carbohydrates, amino acids, enzymes, proteins, anti-oxidants. It also contains eighteen free amino acids and is cholesterol-free. Acids like acetic, butanoic, citric, formic, malic, lactic, succinic, pyroglutamic, gluconic and aromatic acids are present in honey.
When used in adequate quantities, the right kind of honey and right combination, it can do wonders in health and faster recovery from various problems. Though Honey is added as a preservative and as an agent in reducing the toxicity of many medicines but it benefits only when honey used is pure and is consumed in appropriate quantity, season and considering individual’s dosha, Vata, pitta or Kapha otherwise honey can be toxic and can aggravate health problems.
Moreover using unadulterated and pure honey is essential to reap its full benefits and preventing other problems that arise due to harmful substances and impurities.
Fresh honey is considered to be beneficial for increasing body mass and other healing properties while old honey can become toxic and decrease body mass and create constipation. Honey should not be heated as it becomes toxic. One must be careful while buying honey as some honey contain added syrups or ingredients that can remove the benefits of honey. Thus pure and fresh honey can provide the benefits that a person looks for and Ayurveda explains.
The Green Womb makes tireless efforts to bring us the purest, unadulterated, untouched and raw honey that is quintessential to reap the benefits. They source the honey organically direct from farmers from pan India and have two varieties of honey: Farm Honey and Forest Honey.
Moreover, their philosophy is not just limited to the content but also works on providing the safe and chemical-free packing, therefore, they avoid plastic containers which are toxic and prefer glass containers in storing honey and their machinery is made of wood and clay which are both natural and nonreactive elements.
So, pick the natural and true honey from the Green Womb which is your right as an aware consumer. The Green womb reminds us of the old trends which our grandparents used to follow keeping in focus the health benefits while preparing and preserving the food.Â
