The miracle of honey as an alternative medicine

Honey is a sweet and viscous foods that make bees from the nectar of flowers. "The definition of honey calls a pure product, nothing can be added. This includes water and additional sweeteners." The honey Panel of the United States and other national food regulations in 2003 saying that. Honey is much sweeter than sugar and has special chemical properties that make it interesting as an ingredient in baking. Honey has a special flavor, which is why many people prefer it the sugar or other sweeteners. Liquid honey is not bad.Most bacteria are killed due to the high sugar content.

Natural yeast bacteria can be is not active, because the moisture content is too low. Natural, raw honey has a moisture content of 14 - 18%. As long as the moisture content is below 18%, virtually no organism can multiply it significantly, to emphasize is that certain bacteria (particularly Clostridium botulinum) survive, make the honey for infants for dangerous. By looking at the pollen and spores in raw honey (Melissopalynology), you can learn which flowers the honey came from. Because bees are electro statically charged, so they can attract particles, the procedure can be applied to of Melissopalynology also for research into radioactive particles in the environment, in the dust, or on certain environmental pollution.

 

One consequence of the nectar gathering bees is that they pollinate the plants here, which is crucial for every flowering plant.

 

Islâm and honey

 

Over 1406 years ago, Allâh and his Messenger have us communicated that you can cure many diseases with honey.Allâh says: "And your Lord inspired to the bee, "Take for yourself among the mountains, houses, and among the trees and [in] that which they construct."Then eat from all the fruits and follow the ways of your Lord laid down [for you]." There emerges from their bellies a drink, varying in colors, in which there is healing for people. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who give thought." (Sûra 16:68 69)

 

The Prophet told us that one finds the cure for many diseases in honey for gastrointestinal problems. Narrated in Al Bukhaari, that a man to the Prophet came, because his brother had gastrointestinal complaints. The Prophet said to him: "Let him honey drink!" The man came to the Prophet soon once again and complained that his brother's not better go and him the Prophet  again countered: "Let him honey drink!" Once again, the man came to the Prophet and said: "I did it, but it had no benefit."Then the Prophet answered him : "Allâh has told the truth and lies of your brother's stomach. Let him drink honey!" So he drank honey and was cured.

 

In addition, it is reported that the Prophet  said: "makes use of two remedies: honey and the Qurân." (At-Tirmidhî)

 

Modern medicine has recently discovered that honey cures many diseases. Traditionally honey was used mixed with lemon, to treat sore throat. The honey soothes the throat and reduce the cough reflex. Recent research has shown that honey stops the growth of bacteria in the mouth. Honey has been used even against stomach pains and diseases. Researches have proved that honey helps with ulcers in the stomach and the digestive tract; He is just as useful due to its antimicrobial (antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal) properties in the treatment of wounds and infections.

 

Researchers still do not know why the honey cures, but they discover every day new. As mentioned at the beginning, honey contains various sugars and minerals. Honey is also an antioxidant. This means that it helps the blood flow, allowing more oxygen in the individual parts of the body.

 

Honey can be applied also on the body when it comes to the healing of injuries or even of postoperative wounds, for example.Honey is also very helpful in the treatment of burns. Also, he has comparatively fewer calories and thus is a sweetener for diabetics with heart disease or overweight.

 

Although honey is a cure for many things, some safety precautions must be observed:

 

1. children under one year should eat honey because it is believed that there is a risk of a child or infant botulism. This type of food poisoning can be fatal, but it seems to affect only children under one year.

 

2. If you have allergies to certain pollen, then you should sure that honey does not contain these.

 

3. people with an allergy to bee stings should be careful in the use of other bee products such as propolis and Royal Jelly.

 

If these points are observed, then honey - by leave of Allah - a cure for them is.

 

Conclusion

 

The Muslims accept and acknowledge that Allâh is the Knower, and that he has revealed the truth.

 

We will inform us so not about the research results about the honey to the truth, Allâh his Prophet, revealed to confirm or disprove, but know only to new ways to learn how to use the honey.
