Honey is amazingly powerful, both in and out of the kitchen. Rich in
vitamins and minerals, and containing antioxidant and antibacterial
properties, honey can be used to soothe ulcers, burns, skin sores,
inflammation, and more. And studies have shown honey does a better job
of easing nighttime coughs and improving sleep than many commercial
cough suppressants.
