9 Inventive Ways to Use Honey Today

Aids Sleep

Honey causes an insulin response in the body, which, in turn, causes the brain to release serotonin. The body then converts serotonin to melatonin, a natural sleep aid.

Treats Dandruff

A mixture of honey and warm water left on the scalp for three hours eliminated itchy scalp associated with dandruff.

Alleviates Burns

Honey is a natural antibiotic because some plant-based foods that bees eat end up in the honey. The antibiotics help treat wounds and burns.

Regulates Blood Sugar

Some honey contains the right combination of glucose and fructose that produce a low glycemic index number. This means certain kinds of honey don’t jolt your metabolism with spikes in blood sugar levels.

Moisturizes Skin

Honey draws moisture from the air into your skin. Feel free to apply it as a moisturizing mask, hair conditioner or cuticle moisturizer as part of your beauty regimen.
