    You may use honey every day without ever knowing that it is nature’s little wonder medicine.  This sweet treat, which is commonly added to foods and beverages can also help cure some common ailments.   Honey can be used for hangovers, to heal cuts, to sooth sore throats, and to make you skin smooth.

If you drank a bit too much last night at the party, spoon a few tablespoons of honey onto a piece of toast for a fast recovery.  Honey is filled with fructose, a fruit sugar.  This sugar helps to speed up the metabolism of alcohol, helping you to rid your body of the alcohol faster.

Next time you get a minor scrape, cut, or burn grab some honey.  Honey has natural antibacterial properties that have been proven to speed up healing.  Apply honey twice a day to the affected area, for a speedy recovery.

The next time you catch a cold with a nasty cough, leave the cough drops on the shelf and grab some honey instead.  Swallowing 2 teaspoons of honey helps to coat the throat and thin the mucus, making your throat feel better.  Please remember that honey is not appropriate for children under 1 year of age.

So you want soft, smooth skin?  Honey can be used to make a natural ex foliating scrub.  Just mix 1/4 cup of honey with 3/4 cup  raw sugar and 1/4 cup olive oil.  Rub the mixture onto wet skin in circular patterns then rinse off.  You can even keep this mix in a container in your refrigerator.
