Fall In Love with Honey (and put it in your tea!)

Health Benefits of Honey

Honey is sometimes called the ‘miracle of nature.’ In terms of health benefits, honey can strengthen your immune system, help treat many ailments such as arthritis and give you a natural boost of energy. And – it tastes great!

Athletes use honey to enhance their performance and reduce pain and weakness of muscles from too much exercise. It’s the glucose contained in honey that gives an extra boost of energy and that can also keep your blood sugar at more constant levels.

Besides the quick benefits of boosting energy and giving you a “sweet” fix, there are long term health benefits to adding honey to your daily diet:


  • Immune System – Honey to your immune system is like using Draino to clean pipes. It rids the body of free radicals that pollute your system and keep it from being able to effectively fight diseases.
  • Anti-bacterial – If you’ve had problems with your digestive system, honey can use its anti-bacterial attributes to help get your organs working in sync to promote and aid digestion.
  • Anti-cancer – While honey can’t cure cancer, it can prevent carcinogens and tumors from forming in your body.
  • Natural home remedy – Honey has been used for literally thousands of years to help treat a myriad of complaints such as yeast infections, skin problems and as a natural method to alleviate pain.
  • Sleep inducement – Honey has sleep inducing qualities that can help you get a good night’s sleep, especially when combined with a cup of chamomile tea.
  • Weight loss – Honey contains more calories than sugar, but its ability to help digest fat stored in your body makes it a great addition to your diet plan if you’re trying to lose weight.


The health benefits of honey are still being studied by the medical and scientific communities. Try to find absolutely pure honey when you purchase it for health reasons. There are many online websites that offer great deals on the purest of honey and many health food stores also carry honey in pure form.

Combine Honey and Tea for Extra Health Benefits

Tea and honey go together like love and marriage. When you add honey to a cup of hot tulsi or green tea, you’ll reap health benefits many times more than having a single spoonful of honey or a cup of green tea.

The marriage of tea and honey produces and delicious beverage that provides medicinal values far beyond that of most items you can purchase in a pharmacy for certain ailments. Among the healing abilities of combining tea and honey are:


  • Inflammation – When your body is inflamed because of an infection or illness, tea and honey can help to sooth the affected areas. Cancer is one of the inflammatory diseases that can benefit from a concoction of tea and honey, reducing swelling and bringing pain relief.
  • LDL Cholesterol – Tea and honey provides an excellent medicinal combination for reducing bad (LDL) cholesterol and promoting good cholesterol. This powerful duo can free the arteries of debris caused by free radicals and plaque that can clog the arteries and cause a stroke.
  • Heart Disease – Heart disease is caused by a number of different factors, including genetic, but by including tea and honey in your daily diet regimen, you can reduce the risks of having a heart attack. Tea and honey clears the arteries and promotes a healthy blood flow to the heart.
  • Healing – Scientific research has revealed that tea and honey can advance the healing process of a body that’s been damaged in some way. The antioxidant powers of combining the two agents will trigger the healing of wounds and is also helpful after surgery.
  • Cough and Cold – It was Grandma’s remedy back in the day, and it still works in today’s modern world of mentholated syrups and other sugary tasting medicines. While soothing a sore throat, tea and honey will also inhibit a severe cough.




The long-term effects of adding tea and honey to your diet can do wonders for your immune system and prevent the onslaught of diseases. Losing weight and feeling more energetic are also reasons for including honey and tea as part of your “get healthy” plan.

Besides the clearly defined health benefits of tulsi and green teas and the numerous advantages of honey, the combination of tastes from both of these powerful agents is like a burst of pure enjoyment. No wonder people have been combining tea and honey for centuries.

Enjoying a cup of tulsi or green tea alone can reap untold benefits to your body, but when you combine it with a spoonful of honey, you’re extending the cup’s nutritional benefits and also its enjoyment. The natural antioxidants in all three can provide your body with a lift that no other natural remedies can offer.

Online sites make it easy to browse through teas and honeys at your leisure. Be sure and find sites that offer pure products and take pride in the way they process and package the items.

Consumers have become much more sophisticated about the various types of tea and honey, prompting tea houses and honey producers to cater to these savvy clients.
