What is medicinal honey enriched with?
Honey bees have the ability to collect nectar from all types of biological mixtures, the chemical composition of which does not contradict their life cycle. For this reason, bees have many feeding options at a time when there are few flowering plants. It has been observed that bees feed on sweet fruit and berry syrups, sugar syrups and artificial nectars with similar results. It is this fact that helped to develop a technology for the targeted enrichment of honey with drugs that do not affect the vital activity of bees.
The technology for enriching honey with medicines is based on training bees to process sweet syrups with dosed medicinal drugs, with extracts of certain medicinal plants, syrups from products of plant origin with a high content of specific vitamins or microelements. In fact, bees can be fed with completely unexpected sweet products, for example, milk, pine extracts, hematogen and similar products, fermentation products, fermented products.
The technology enriched medicinal honey is called “Express creation of honey” and has very wide possibilities for creating medicines based on honey that can be used for preventive or therapeutic purposes. Honey enriched with medicinal substances is called “Express honey”. Express-honey is used for certain medical indications, has the essence of a full-fledged medicine and may be contraindicated in certain types of diseases.
The production of express-honey requires special technological conditions, similar to the conditions of pharmaceutical production. For this reason, obtaining express honey at home is under the control of organizations involved in monitoring the production of medicines. The conditions for the production of express-honey are carefully checked for compliance with sanitary and hygienic standards and the dosage of medicinal components.
Honey enriched with medicinal components is very convenient as a means of treatment, since it tastes better than drugs, is better absorbed by the body and has many useful side effects, since, in addition to the drug, it contains a set of proteins, sugars, enzymes, microelements and vitamins, which honey itself is rich.
When honey is enriched, its antiseptic effect is enhanced, even antibacterial (if antibiotics are included in the syrup), vitaminization is enhanced (if large doses of certain vitamins or groups of vitamins are included in the honey) and similar medicinal effects.
Express-honey is suitable for cases where pharmaceutical syrups have a bitter taste, or when it is necessary to unobtrusively prevent or treat certain diseases in people who do not like to take pharmaceuticals, or for children who refuse to take conventional medications, for example, in the form of tablets, powders or mixtures.
