Author Kirsten Traynor has carefully researched and interviewed many experts for this well written and informative book that chronicles the medicinal use of honey “from ancient civilizations until the advent of antibiotics”. “New scientific findings from around the world demonstrate honey heals chronic wounds, beats antibiotic-resistant superbugs, eliminates tissue scarring, reduces brain damage, improves memory and minimizes the harmful side-effects of cancer treatments. An easily assimilated antioxidant, honey proves more effective than over-the-counter cough medicines, acts as a natural laxative, stimulates good intestinal flora, and alleviates spring allergies.” 258 pages, softcover.
