Honey is excellent for soothing coughs
Raw honey is a very effective natural remedy for cough, sore throat, laryngitis and pharyngitis. The antitussive, fluidifying and expectorant action of honey is linked to the presence of volatile substances in its composition, but also to its antibacterial action.
Honey is excellent for fighting fatigue and insomnia
Raw honey helps the body eliminate fatigue and relax. It releases glycogen in the body, a substance essential for the optimal functioning of the body during sleep. A teaspoon of honey added to a glass of milk before bedtime will help you sleep soundly as it will stimulate the production of melatonin in your body.

While raw honey has multiple benefits for our health, fake honey is harmful for our body. Due to the sugar and other chemicals it may contain (dyes, preservatives, flavors, etc.), fake honey is very dangerous, especially for children and people with diabetes. In children, it can be addictive to sweetness and can cause major allergies and imbalances in the body. When it comes to people with diabetes, consuming fake honey can cause an attack, due to the excess sugar it contains.
