We have been using honey to make us feel better for at least
4,000 years - and not just because it tastes good. This golden
elixir has been used from the Ancient Egyptians, Greeks and
Romans onwards, to treat ailments such as stomach ulcers and
skin wounds. Modern medicine dismissed the healing powers of
honey and other products of the hive as unproven and it fell
out of favour. Now, however, we are returning to Apitherapy
- and this time with science to back it up.
