Raw, Pure, Real Honey Claims
The appeal of raw honey is that is unprocessed, unheated and has all its live, nutritious enzymes preserved. However, there are no strict legal requirements for claiming and labelling honey as "raw". You may find raw honey that are unprocessed but slightly warmed to retard granulation for a short period of time and allow light straining and packing into containers for sale. Claims of "pure honey" on labels can be ambiguous and may not necessarily be equivalent to 100% pure honey as the product may contain "real honey" in an unknown amount. Many brands, including those labelled as "natural", offer honey that is pasteurized or treated with heat to slow down the process of crystallisation so that they remain smooth and presentable on the shelves. They are also well filtered, and thus look clean and speck-free. I agree this could be partly due to allergy concerns, but many consumers also associate honey containing pollens and brown substances, and even crystallisation with impurities and poor quality and refuse to buy it.
Raw Honey

The everyday, simple honeybee is perhaps one of our most precious resources. They pollinate almost every plant on the earth and give us sweet honey in return. Who could ask for more?
Bees make honey from almost every type of flower imaginable, so there are a wide range of honeys, even though you most likely only see one or two versions in your store. Each type of honey takes on the healing properties of the plant or flower that the pollen was harvested from. Each different type of honey will have a different color, scent, and flavor. If you think honey all tastes the same, you are in for a real surprise!
All raw, organic honey has natural antibiotic, antiseptic, antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial compounds, but by using the pollen from different types of flowers, we can get additional therapeutic and medicinal value.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Never give honey to an infant under 1 year of age. Honey naturally contains small amounts of botulism, which is harmless to toddlers and adults but can kill infants less than 1 year of age. It is far better to err on the side of caution and wait until your child reaches their second birthday before giving them honey.
I rub a mixture of honey and salt all over my body to moisturise and exfoliate. You wash it off and your skin is gorgeous.
