Honey: For Your Health, But Does Location Matter?
It’s filled with vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants and minerals.
Most of us have heard that honey is great for our well being. Not only does it contain a wide array of amino acids, minerals, and vitamins it also contains very important antioxidants. When you make sure to add some to your daily cup of tea you are helping to boost your overall health.
As we are further learning, it is better to use all natural or organic honey products. You do not want any artificial additives added to your honey products. When you choose all natural honey products, you are choosing the best source of antioxidant protection you can.
In addition, recently, I was told that it is best to purchase all natural honey that was made near your home locale. Such honey products are often found at open air markets. I was told that this is the best way to purchase honey because the honey is specifically made to fight against disease that is in that particular locale.
If you purchase honey from another state it will only help fight against the toxins from that particular area. While I tried to research to check this information and was unable to find supporting facts, it still sounds like a logical, practical way to go.
I’d love to know if any of you can tell me if this theory is true or not. Either way, I don’t see how it can do you harm, so sweeten up your favorite teas, and drink up to your health!

Great article, a lot of information to think about. I’m waiting to see if anyone has an answer to a most interesting question you pose here. Thanks

It sounds logical to me. Your local bees gather the necter and pollen from your area, and you have the allergies and so on caused by the elements in your area so that must be the answer.Great article.
RAB, add a little brandy to your honey and lemon, the greatest remedy for a sore throat.

Honey requires great attention about the temperature. At temperatures above 50 oC the enzymes are destroyed and so any beneficial effect. So when add honey in tea we must just carefuly use it!
