Honey with lemon juice heated up with some boiling water was a common sore throat remedy when I was kid. Then they came out with cough drops and most people eventually forgot about the heated liquid version,... which I remember seemed to work better than the cough drops that replaced it.

You all sound like my grandfather, vinegar and honey cured everything. He’s passed on so I guess not quite everything. I like chai tea with honey for a cold. I feel better when sipping it and it tastes and smells good too.

It's not just the good taste there's medical healing help from honey.

Paul....that was a great reference in all seriousness. I use honey as you guys have shared, but I didn't realize it could be utilized for wound care. Thanks!

JJ,
For a long time honey's medical properties were seen by many as just quakery. Until medical science started looking at it more seriously.

I seem to remember reading that it was your NA ancestors that taught the healing benefits of honey to some white folks long ago. ;)

My teachings were more of the internal and not meaning just sure throat, but like on canker sores. I just never extended the same to an open wound is all until I read the link you posted and it just "connected" the dots per se

No honeybees in NA before the Mayflower arrived... honeybees were of European decent. When they arrived in NA they were called the "white mans flies"

Thanks for all the prayers gang. Much appreciated, and we are all doing fine. Dealing with some minor allergies as usual.

This thread has gotten off topic, but I want to follow it a bit here...

Reading...skimming...through the honey link...

I wonder where I could get some Manuka Honey locally? I buy local honey from down the road from me. Actually he supplies all the grocery stores and anywhere else around here with honey in a 50 mile circle. Don Popp's Honey Farm. He may even have Manuka honey, but I won't know until I call. I usually buy dark honey from him once a year.

That info on Manuka Honey has my ears standing at attention. I've had severe stomach issues now for the last decade. If I thought that stuff would help me I'd drink a jar of it everyday.
