Honey effectively fights infections without causing resistant bacteria, unlike conventional antibiotics. A study published in the European Journal of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases revealed that honey destroyed all bacteria and pathogens it was tested against. Researchers found that it can be applied topically and taken internally.
According to Dr. Dee Carter:
“Our research is the first to clearly show that these honey-based products could, in many cases, replace antibiotic creams on wounds and devices such as catheters. Using honey as an interim treatment could also prolong the life of antibiotics.”
On the other hand, turmeric is another natural wonder with a myriad of health benefits. Its most important compounds are called curcuminoids, and it possesses powerful healing, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antibacterial, and antifungal properties.
The combination of these two ingredients is the most powerful antibiotic we can use. It is also known as golden honey and has been commonly used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. Its use has recently increased exponentially in Western medicine and nutrition.
According to BenefitsOfHoney, this combination is “an invaluable natural remedy for a multitude of diseases and conditions such as indigestion, colds, flu, asthma, hypertension, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, depression and anxiety, inflammation of wounds and burns, eczema, psoriasis and acne, and aging (protects the liver and kidneys).”
Furthermore, TurmericForHealth adds:
“A study showed that an Ayurvedic remedy containing turmeric and honey as active ingredients stimulated the production and function of immune cells and could thus improve immunity against disease.”
