Honey consists of around 180 accompanying substances, which is why it is so important for our body.
It consists, among other things, of various types of sugar, acids, minerals and vitamins such as B1, B2, Vit. C etc.
Honey therefore has an anti-inflammatory effect as it contains pinocembrin (a heat-stable antibiotic) and coffee acid. That's why hot milk with honey is very effective for sore throats. But the milk or tea should not be too hot. From 40 degrees the honey loses its healing properties.
