SAHPA-Raw honey and others

Raw bee Honey.

Raw Bee Honey is an instant energy building food with all minerals necessary for life: seven vitamins of the B-complex group, amino acids, enzymes and other vital factors. Most processed honey has been heated and filtered, which destroys its nutritional value. If Raw Honey is left in its natural state, it retains all the vitamins, minerals and enzymes inherent in this healthful food product. And, for example, a 50 mg. tablet of Raw Honey would equate to less than three dietary calories. If you follow a low sugar meal plan, you can benefit by supplementing your diet with a daily intake of Raw Honey. Raw Bee Honey is also a good antiseptic and salve for burns.

Acacia blossom honey

Comes from the “Robinia Pseudoacacia” blossoms. The main characteristic of this typical Italian honey is the clear color (from white to pale yellow), the transparency and the very delicate taste and aroma. The quantity of natural fructose present in Acacia honey ensures it stays liquid for a long time. Suitable for sweetening drinks, tea and infusions. Its own organoleptic characteristics and its mild taste makes Acacia honey the ideal nourishment for babies and children.

Manuka honey.

Manuka Honey and Manuka Oil are nature's greatest secret for healing the skin of skin irritations, athlete foot, fungal skin infections, fungal nail infections, dandruff, rashes and other skin problems. Although it is only in the last decade that the Manuka tree has begun to be recognized and understood through science - the Maori Indians or, the indigenous people of New Zealand, have long known the strength and healing ability of the Manuka tree.

Manuka honey and Manuka oil has been used to treat a range of skin problems including chronic sores, ring worm, eczema, fungal infections (athlete foot and fungal nail infections), scalp itch and dandruff. Others reported that a decoction of leaves were drank for urinary complaints and to reduce fever. The leaves were boiled in water and inhaled for head colds, blocked sinuses, hay fever, even bronchitis and asthma. Leaves and bark were boiled together, and the warm liquid was rubbed on stiff backs and rheumatic joints. The leaves and young branches were put into vapor baths. The crushed leaves were applied as a poultice for many skin diseases and were directly applied to wounds and deep gashes to enhance healing and reduce the risk of infection. The young shoots were chewed and swallowed for dysentery. The bark, the sap, and the seed capsules of the Manuka were also used extensively for treating various ailments.

Clearly, Manuka was an important medicinal plant, both to the Maori Indians and to the early European settlers who, in the early years of settlement, depended on Maori knowledge of medicinal plants in treating their own illnesses.
