While conventional antibiotics are extremely overused, natural remedies such as honey and turmeric are highly beneficial and improve health in numerous ways.
Honey effectively fights infections without causing resistant bacteria, unlike conventional antibiotics. A study published in the European Journal of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases found that honey destroyed every bacteria or pathogen they tested it on. Researchers found that it can be applied topically and taken internally.
“Our research is the first to clearly show that these honey-based products could in many cases replace antibiotic creams on wounds and equipment such as catheters. Using honey as an intermediate treatment could also prolong the life of antibiotics.”
On the other hand, turmeric is another natural miracle with a myriad of health benefits. Its most important compounds are called curcuminoids, and it has powerful healing, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antibacterial and anti-fungal properties.
The combination of these two is the most powerful antibiotic we can use. It is also known as Golden Honey and has been commonly used in Ayurveda medicine for thousands of years. Recently, its use has grown exponentially in Western medicine and nutrition.
According to BenefitsOfHoney, this combination is “an invaluable natural remedy for a myriad of ailments and diseases including indigestion, cold, flu, asthma, hypertension, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, arthritis, diabetes, heart diseases, depression and anxiety, inflammation of wounds and burns, eczema, psoriasis and acne, and aging(protects the liver and kidneys). “

Moreover, TurmericForHealth adds:
“A study has shown that an Ayurvedic medicine containing turmeric and honey as two of the active ingredients stimulated the production and functionality of immune cells and thus, could result in improved immunity against diseases.
Combining turmeric with honey enhances its anti-microbial activity. They can together act against a variety of bacterial and fungal strains known to cause infections in humans.”
Also,
“Turmeric, along with honey can improve skin hydration and elasticity and contribute to better skin health. Turmeric and honey are useful in treating oral mucositis which occurs as a complication of cancer treatments.”

Let’s get to it! You can make turmeric honey in less than 5 minutes- with fresh or ground turmeric! Fresh turmeric is preferable as it doesn’t undergo as much processing as ground turmeric. However, you can purchase very high-quality organic ground turmeric and use that as a substitute as I know now everyone has access to the fresh stuff!
*It’s optional to add black pepper to your turmeric honey but listed as black pepper increases the nutritional availability of curcuminoids found in turmeric.
