Common Ways to Use Raw Honey

Raw honey is used just like that in raw form straight from the honeycomb- never heated. That is when it has the most medicinal benefits.

How Raw Honey is Harvested

Raw honey is a wonderful product made by a fascinating honeybee. Raw honey is super simple to harvest if you have the means. You will extract the honey from the honeycombs. A honey extractor is a drum-like vessel that spins the honeycombs until the honey is forced out, then can be drained out of a spout on the bottom of the drum. Once extracted, you will strain it to get any partials or beeswax. After it is strained, it's ready to bottle and enjoy.

Safety Concerns

Drug Interaction: If you have any health concerns or are taking any prescription medication, please consult with your healthcare provider before adding new herbs to your diet.

Breastfeeding and Pregnancy: There are no known contraindications for breastfeeding and pregnancy.

Other Concerns: Raw Honey is a wonderful medicinal food, but there are some potential risks, including triggering allergies, botulism, and E. coli. It is said to be especially not given to babies under one year of age because of the effect botulism could have on them.
