At high temperatures, honey becomes toxic. At the first sign of a cold or flu, many people start drinking hot tea with lemon and honey. According to doctors, this is the biggest mistake when using honey for health purposes.
At high temperatures, honey becomes toxic, literally, it turns into poison, and its healing properties are lost, says nutritionist Anna Biotorium.

The medicinal properties of honey are characterized as follows:

- cleanses wounds and heals them
- stimulates the growth of healthy tissue at the site of injury
- recently collected honey is a mild laxative and helps to reduce weight
- old honey improves fat metabolism and eliminates Kapha.
“Honey promotes better absorption of nutrients and stool formation, promotes weight loss, is good for the eyes and vision, ignites the fire of digestion, is good for the voice, has a cleansing and healing effect on wounds and ulcers, has a softening effect, and is endowed with the ability to penetrate deeply into tissues and strongly cleanse the body channels,” the nutritionist writes.
In addition, honey improves skin color, strengthens the intellect, is an aphrodisiac, and cleanses and improves appetite.
According to doctors, in order for honey to be beneficial for you, you should consume at least one teaspoon in the morning and evening.
