In Honey: Nature's Golden Healer, Gloria Havenhand illustrates the many and varied ways in which honey can promote healing and help to alleviate an enormous range of ailments, including infections, IBS and gastric ulcers. She shows the vital role it can play in a healthy lifestyle, encouraging us to embrace it as a delicious daily treat that provides a natural boost to the immune system and helps prevent certain diseases. She also writes of many other bee products - such as propolis, pollen, beeswax and royal jelly - discussing, for example, how the sticky resin, propolis, can help relieve skin conditions such as acne and psoriasis, and how pollen capsules can boost energy and performance. This gorgeous book, packed full of useful, novel information and enhanced by great close-up photography, shows all the links between honey and good health and why protecting the honey bee is important not only for its own survival, but for human longevity.
