Honey Always Worksby Tina Tyler
Because the bees are taking the winter off and refusing to work I wanted to talk abouthoney As you know herbs have benefits Did you know that the herbal benefits from theoriginal plant cross over from the nectar to the honey I have always grown herbsThey are always there whenever I need them During the holidays I walked back in thedoor in a matter of minutes carrying parsley sage thyme blooming rosemary sorreland wintergreen I call my honey Herbal Honey Honey does not spoil but the other foods do even with refrigeration This shows methat honey inhibits bacteria and fungus It will inhibit bacteria and fungus on my skintoo In medicine honey is a great dressing since water easily removes it It iscomfortable and nonshyadhesive The antibacterial properties of honey are from osmolarity acidity hydrogen peroxideproduction and the floral nectar component The osmolarity kills bacteria and fungus bypulling water from their cells The acidity of honey inhibits the growth of most bacteriaHydrogen peroxide can kill bacteria on contact Honey has a small amount of enzymefrom the beersquos stomach that activates with the glucose when conditions are right

Honey Always Worksby Tina Tyler
Because the bees are taking the winter off and refusing to work I wanted to talk abouthoney As you know herbs have benefits Did you know that the herbal benefits from theoriginal plant cross over from the nectar to the honey I have always grown herbsThey are always there whenever I need them During the holidays I walked back in thedoor in a matter of minutes carrying parsley sage thyme blooming rosemary sorreland wintergreen I call my honey Herbal Honey Honey does not spoil but the other foods do even with refrigeration This shows methat honey inhibits bacteria and fungus It will inhibit bacteria and fungus on my skintoo In medicine honey is a great dressing since water easily removes it It iscomfortable and nonshyadhesive The antibacterial properties of honey are from osmolarity acidity hydrogen peroxideproduction and the floral nectar component The osmolarity kills bacteria and fungus bypulling water from their cells The acidity of honey inhibits the growth of most bacteriaHydrogen peroxide can kill bacteria on contact Honey has a small amount of enzymefrom the beersquos stomach that activates with the glucose when conditions are right
