Since the older days, in most cultures lemon and honey have been used as a natural remedy to heal. In many countries, lemon wasn’t available but, honey has been around some 40 million years ago. So, Baltic people used quince fruit instead. Before describing the benefits of honey and lemon water lets discuss a bit about raw honey and lemon.

 

 

 

About Raw Honey:

 

 

 

Some of you might not have heard about “Raw Honey.” So, let us first understand its uniqueness. Raw honey is not processed or pasteurized. It is extracted straight from the bee hive. It’s free from antibiotics and nothing is infused in it like additional flavors or sweeteners.

 

 

 

Honey that is commercially available is processed, pasteurized and heated to look appealing. It is just not natural like raw honey. Commercially bought honey is blended with low quality honey or has added refined sugars. These processes remove the minerals, vitamins, enzymes and amino acids present in the honey.

 

 

Pasteurization reduces the nutritional value of honey and is not as good in quality as raw honey. Raw honey is obtained through sustainable ways, and uses ecological remedies for treating bees. Thus, you can be assured that raw honey is real and preserves all natural and beneficial qualities.

 

 

Thus, raw honey is something that was used in older days.
