About this audiobook

Did you know? . . . Known as Mother Nature's "nectar of the gods," honey was praised for its healing powers as far back as 5,000 years ago by Egyptians. Eating honey can help lower the risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes-even help reduce body fat and unwanted weight!-and increase longevity. Super "bee foods" (including nutrient-rich bee pollen, propolis, and royal jelly) are used and touted for their healing powers by beekeepers and medical experts in the present day. Honey can relieve a variety of ailments, including allergies, coughs, fatigue, pain, and stress, as well as boost libido. Drawing on the latest honey buzz and interviews with medical doctors, beekeepers, and researchers, this charming and enlightening book reveals thirty healing honey varieties paired with cinnamon and teas, tells you how to incorporate honey into Mediterranean-style, heart-healthy recipes like Honey Custard French Toast, Honey-Glazed Game Hen, and Filo Pear and Honey Tarts, and provides more than fifty home cures that combat digestive woes to skin woes. You'll also enjoy Cleopatra's milk-and-honey beauty treatments and eco-friendly beeswax household uses-all made with the amazing honey bee's gifts!
