Here in Canada, God has blessed us with Maple syrup which is so similar to honey. I like it when, during the season, we extract it from the tree and taste it on the spot!

I use local honey in my tea, as it tastes good and it helps keep allergies away. It works very well.

I eat raw honey every day---usually on my yogurt with some raw cocoa beans.
I make a face and body wash with a base of honey and glycerine, as honey is a great humectant.
It's also anti-microbial, so it's good to use on wounds.
It is a pre-biotic and helps keep a healthy gut.

How much should you eat a day? I bought some raw honey a few months ago and every now and then I eat a tsp. of it. I love the taste and I know it's good for you.

I would have at least that every day. I eat probably 1/4 c. a day total.
I did a recipe segment on TV yesterday, and I made a fruit salad of strawberries, blueberries and tangerine sections with a sauce/dressing of freshly squeezed orange juice, honey, vanilla, and chopped fresh mint. I had some last night and drizzled a little fresh raw cream over the top. Mmmmm!!!

My boss eats a tablespoon a day and uses it as a sweetener in her tea.
I drink a lot of green tea and love honey in that. Hot honey and lemon are great on a sore throat or for a cough.

I also drink a lot of green tea and I always put honey in it. I believe the best Honey to get is the organic honey or if it says 100% pure.
And I think someone asked on here how much honey you should eat. I believe it is recommended that you eat 1 tablespoon a day. And no honey for infants under a year.

This is specific Manuka honey I am talking about. It has high levels of bio active properties. I put some on a deep cut I had on my finger, the next morning the cut had healed considerably. I have been eating a teaspoon three times a day. The Manuka bio active stuff is quite expensive. I payed 19.95 for 250 gms, but geez I can tell the difference, I am quite amazed really.

I don't know if that's available here. The highest quality I can find here is Really Raw which is made from Wildflowers in Maryland, not Tea Tree in New Zealand. I'd like to use local honey, but what I have found has been heated.

I love the Really Raw honey. It's a good "dip" for raw almonds and pecan halves.
I'm going to go Google the manuka stuff. Sounds like something I'd really like to try. I wonder if it's available in the US.

I'm going this weekend to buy some local honey for Dh because his allergies are very bad.
I was asking this over in the parenting thread, but I'm wondering, how local does the honey have to be?
A lot of things here are marketed as Ontario honey, but Ontario is a very large province. So how local should I keep it?

The closest you can find is best because it has pollen from the plants that cause your allergies, which would be different from the pollens that cause allergies in my area. If you get too far out of your locality, the plant life may change and the pollen in the honey would be different. If you have choices of environment that's not really local, go for the one that is the most similar in plantlife and environment to the area where you live.

Tee tree is universally known for it's antiseptic properties, I don't think the area matters much.

Just ordered some!!! I got the kind with propolis and bee venom. Thought maybe it would help hubby's arthritis. I can't wait til it gets here. I'm anxious to try it.

I ordered it from HERE. I actually saw some on the shelf last night at the health food store, and it is MUCH cheaper from that site.

Well, I read the link monamie gave and it seems quite interesting, this Manuka stuff. I don't know if I could get that right now, but it seems interesting.
But honey altogether, especially if you get the Organic kind, is pretty good for you.
