Eucalyptus Honey

Description

How Do Bees Produce Eucalyptus Honey?

• The nectar mixes with an enzyme secreted by bees’ glands within their mouth.
• Upon arrival to the beehive, they interchange the nectar between their mouths. This helps reduce water content and converts nectar to honey.
• Honey is then placed within wax cells.
• In order to further reduce water content, bees fan their wings above these wax compartments. This process is repeated.
• Honey can then be gathered by beekeepers, who may collect between 40 and 120 pounds, as well as surplus pollen.

Eucalyptus Honey benefits

• Fight colds, the flu and respiratory illnesses: This monofloral honey is particularly beneficial in this area, as it helps improve expectoration, minimize excess mucus, alleviate nasal congestion and acts as a natural cough suppressant. In fact, research has shown specific efficiency as a cough suppressant for children.
• Prevent urinary issues. Because of its powerful antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, it presents advantages in preventing issues related to the urinary tracts, including cystitis, nephritis and kidney stones.
• Increases immunity. Raw organic Eucalyptus Honey is particularly rich in Vitamin C and vitamin B9, known to boost the immune system. Other vitamins present in this honey variety include Vitamins A, D and B (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6)
• Anti-inflammatory: products derived from the eucalyptus plant, including its honey, incorporate the eucalyptol compound, a potent anti-inflammatory that enhances honey’s healing properties.
• Reduces risk factors linked to heart disease. This monofloral honey, like other types of honey, has been shown to help modulate blood pressure, improve blood fat levels, and prevent the death of healthy cells. The same research demonstrated honey’s capacity to lower blood cholesterol levels.
• Improves sleep.
• Helps lower triglycerides.
• Powerful energizer. It helps the flow of energy due to its high Vitamin B content.
• A source of minerals and antioxidants. Among the main important minerals present in this honey are iron, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, potassium, sulfur and sodium. It also helps absorb calcium and magnesium.
