Eucalyptus Honey

Eucalyptus honey is a good antiseptic because of its germicidal properties.
So it is commonly used for healing wounds, ulcers, burns, cuts, abrasions and sores. It is also effective on insect bites and stings. It is often recommended to patients suffering from rheumatism, stiff muscles, and even nerve pain.

Antiseptic

Besides being a good natural remedy for respiratory problems, Eucalyptus honey is a good antiseptic because of its germicidal properties. So it is commonly used for healing wounds, ulcers, burns, cuts, abrasions and sores. It is also effective on insect bites and stings.

Antioxidant

Eucalyptus honey is a source of potent polyphenols and flavonoids, natural compounds with strong anti-oxidant activity. Antioxidants protect cells from damage and oxidate stress that could worsen inflammation and ageing. This is why such honey is said to possess anti-ageing properties.

Pregnancy

Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Eucalyptus is LIKELY SAFE for pregnant and breast-feeding women when consumed in food amounts.
Diabetes: Early research suggests eucalyptus leaf might lower blood sugar.

Source of vitamins and minerals

Eucalyptus honey boast a rich source of vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin C, potassium, copper, iron and calcium.

Asthma

Early research shows that eucalyptol, a chemical found in eucalyptus honey, might be able to break up mucous in people with asthma. Some people with severe asthma have been able to lower their dosage of steroidmedications if they take eucalyptol. But don't try this without your healthcare provider's advice and monitoring.

Bronchitis

Some research shows that taking a specific combination product containing eucalyptol, a chemical found in eucalyptus oil, and extracts of pine and lime by mouth for at least 2 weeks improves symptoms and reduces flare-ups in people with bronchitis.

Raw Honey

Here are the wonderful medicinal uses of Eucalyptus honey and the list is certainly non-exhaustive:

Relief for mild coughs and colds

Natural remedy for respiratory problems

Accelerate healing of wounds, ulcers, burns, cuts, abrasions and sores

Effective on insect bites and stings.

Helps with rheumatism

Lumbago

Sprained ligaments

High blood pressure

The only way to get the full health benefits of this beautiful honey is to consume raw eucalyptus honey on a regular basis.

We take pride in retaining the unique flavors of our raw honeys through our chemical-free, cold press extraction process. This ensures our non-heat treated honeys preserve their natural enzymes and health-giving properties.

Our honey is unheated, unpasteurised and unfiltered so all the natural vitamins, enzymes are preserved.

It does not contain any added sugar.

So it is commonly used for healing wounds, ulcers, burns, cuts, abrasions and sores. It is also effective on insect bites and stings. It is often recommended to patients suffering from rheumatism, stiff muscles, and even nerve pain. The honey is massaged on the skin surface in a circular motion to help relieve muscle and jointpains.

Origin

This organic Eucalyptus honey is harvest in Thal, Punjab.

Taste and Color

Eucalyptus honey is medium-sweet with a rather strong earthy flavor, slightly woody and medicinal aftertaste.

Eucalyptus honey has a thick texture and has a color that is light amber
with green flecks. Of course, when it crystallizes the texture becomes much harder, and its color becomes white.

Harvesting Time

Eucalyptus honey is a mono floral honey, and this means the bees can collect the nectar only for month, in may to june, the flowering time. The production season continues only for 40 to 60 days in a year, and that is a very short period.

The crystallization of honey is little understood by the consuming public. Many assume that crystallized honey is adulterated or ‘spoiled.’ This is not so.

Real, raw honey crystallizes!

Honey is a highly concentrated sugar solution. It contains more than 70% sugars and less than 20% water. This means that the water in honey contains more sugar than it should naturally hold. The overabundance of sugar makes honey unstable. Thus, it is natural for honey to crystallize since it is an over-saturated sugar solution.

The crystallization process is natural and spontaneous. Pure, raw and unheated honey has a natural tendency to crystallize over time with no effect on the honey other than color and texture.



What's more, the crystallization of honey actually preserves the flavor and quality characteristics of your honey.

Some honeys crystallize uniformly; some will be partially crystallized and form two layers, with the crystallized layer on the bottom of the jar and a liquid on top.

Honeys also vary in the size of the crystals formed. Some form fine crystals and others large, gritty ones. The more rapid honey crystallizes, the finer the texture will be. And crystallized honey tends to set a lighter/paler color than when liquid. This is due to the fact that glucose sugar tends to separate out in dehydrating crystals form, and that glucose crystals are naturally pure white. Darker honeys retain a brownish appearance.



The two principal sugars in honey are fructose (fruit sugar) and glucose (grape sugar). The content of fructose and glucose in honey varies from one type of honey to the other. Generally, the fructose ranges from 30- 44% and glucose from 25- 40%. The balance of these two major sugars causes the crystallization of honey, and the relative percentage of each determines whether it crystallizes rapidly or slowly. What crystallizes is the glucose, due to its lower solubility. Fructose is more soluble in water than glucose and will remain fluid.

When glucose crystallizes, it separates from water and takes the form of tiny crystals. As the crystallization progresses and more glucose crystallizes, those crystals spread throughout the honey. The solution changes to a stable saturated form, and ultimately the honey becomes thick or crystallized.

Bottom line? Crystallization of honey is a gift of nature.
