(The
many benefits of honey)
Honey has been used for a very long time trough out history
in many cultures. It was used in Sumerian and Babylonian culture for treating
wounds. In Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece was used as medicine, as a sweetener
and in cooking. Romans also used it for cooking. Honey continues to be of
importance all over the world to this day.
The reason for this is that the beneficial properties of
honey for the human body are plenty.
Honey has high levels of monosaccharide, fructose, and glucose, and it contains about 70 to 80 percent sugar, which provides its sweetness. Honey also has antiseptic and antibacterial properties.
Modern medical science has managed to find uses for honey in chronic wound management and combating infection.
