How to choose the right med1. It is important to choose natural, high-quality honey - only it is good for health. Honey is often forged by mixing sugar, starch, flour and other ingredients. And it happens that unscrupulous beekeepers put divorced sugar before beehives and bees process it, and not flower nectar. Then it turns out low quality honey. Therefore, buying honey from private beekeepers is worth being alert. To determine the fake will help this way: rub a drop between your fingers - a natural product is absorbed into the skin, and homemade rolls into lumps. But the low quality of honey can only reveal a special laboratory. With honey, packaged in a factory way, easier. If the label is labeled GOST 19792, then it is natural. If honey is candied, this does not mean that it was initially substandard or deteriorated with time. So, honey was good. Yes, and remains so. Crystallization does not affect the beneficial properties of honey. And so that honey does not deteriorate, it does not become moldy, does not ferment, it is worth protecting it from moisture. Best of all, honey is stored in a tightly closed glass or enamel bowl. Barrels of alder, poplar or linden are also suitable. Do not put honey in a very hot tea, as is often done when treating a cold. After all, honey above 40 ° C loses most of its beneficial properties. The vitamins contained in it, antibacterial substances are partially destroyed. In addition, hot tea with honey causes sweating and palpitations, which is not very good for people with cardiovascular diseases.

If you sweeten a glass of warm water or milk with honey and drink it at night, then sleep will come faster and will be strong. To combat insomnia, and at the same time to prevent colds, pine-honey baths are good. A bag with spruce needles should be lowered into the bath and half a glass of honey should be added there. Take a bath for 20 minutes.
