Using honey to treat infections
Verse 69 of Surah Al-Nahl in the Quran
mentions honey as a source of "healing for
mankind", for good reason. Honey offers
incredible antiseptic, antioxidant and immune
boosting properties for our body and health. It

healing but also helps reduce inflammation,
even helping to cure coughs and flu, and treat
acne.
