Raw Honey Question

Body: 

I have just lost my letter that I just typed, so here is a very shortened version.
If you don't have the chance to buy local Raw Honey, what I have seen in the grocery stores is small containers of Honey comb with some Honey still in it, is this Raw Honey?

The honeycomb in it might just be a gimmick, not too sure on that. Read the label to see where it is made.
I have been noticing in some of the grocery stores around here that they are starting to sell more varieties of honey, including raw honey. It will say so on the label.
So maybe there is a better chance now of getting the real stuff instead of the corn syrup colored like honey that has been so prevalent in grocery stores.
You may also be able to order some online.
Hope you find something that works for you.

Hi Aging Gracefully,
Thank you for your quick reply. I have looked on the container and it doesn't say it is raw honey. What should raw honey look like, liquid or opaque?
Daphne

Hi Daphne,
I have actually seen raw honey in all kinds of different consistencies and colors, clear to thick yellow, dark Amber, unfiltered and filtered, etc. So that wouldn't really be an indicator.
Hmmmm... The reason why most folks use raw local honey is because of the medicinal affect of the pollen collected in a local area by the bees and the correlation of its affectiveness with allergies and such. People are used to the pollen in the areas they live in.
As far as the application of it vaginally, I couldn't really say if that would be a factor. I do know that when I suggested honey to my mom, she had some my sister bought from another state, and is doing just fine with it.
I think the raw is more preferred because it is not overly processed in any way, meaning that it would probably be more affective.
You can try what you can find, and let us know how you do with it, or look on line and see what is available. That's about all I know about it.

Hi Again,
Once more, Thank you for your advice. I never knew that, about why they say buy locally because of the pollen. I was going to try it on my Uterus because it is getting dry where it rubs on my panty liner because it comes outside my Vagina and is quite a large area. I have been using Coconut oil but I find that it is soon lost in the rubbing effect on the liner. I know in ancient times it was used for healing and I was hoping it might do the same for my Uterus.
I always enjoy reading your answers to everyone, you are very caring.
Daphne.

Yes, I have also heard of the healing affects of the raw honey, and wonder if that would be helpful for your uterus. I can completely empathize with you about your prolapse, having a profound uterine prolapse myself. I still have enough natural secretions that keeps my uterus very moist yet.
I would think that whatever you can use that will keep the moisture on there would be a great help. I know when I did use the honey for some burning issues I was having, the secretions were in full force in my vagina, so that may be helpful in your situation.

Right now I only have peeking of my cervix once a month at the end of my period, but I get back into a good jiggling and firebreathing routine that seems to help keep my cervix back in there the rest of the month.
I don't know what my situation will be like once I stop having periods. We will see.

Please keep us posted about how you do with the honey. I am most curious about how it goes for you.

it is good to read that you have had success with your Uterus, when I say mine is large, I mean I think it all comes outside as I can hold it in the cup of my hand as soon as I stand up. I am almost 80 now though so quite a lot older than you are, wish I had known about this work when it first started to show, the Dr. did say it would keep getting worse but did not offer any practical advice at the time.
Daphne

Sorry to hear that Daphne. I wish you all the best and that you can find some comfort with yours.

Silly question, can the honey be left under the bathroom counter for easy access, or does it need to be refrigerated?

Honey does not need to be refrigerated. The lady at my health food store actually says it lasts forever. I don't know about that, but it will thicken up and crystallize after a time. If you run it under warm water, it will go back to its original consistency.

Keep honey room temprature. To warm it if it does get crystallized we put in top of the oven while cooking something but hot water will work too. Yes, honey does last forever and it does not go bad. Honey found in Egyptian tombs from the pyramid days were still good I remember reading that from somewhere, but it was so long ago. Most likely national geographic magazine. Raw honey simply means it is not processed or refined and therefore the nutrients are still in it. Raw honey is lighter and more opaque, it will have little tiny pellet looking things in it, it doesn't look as much like bottled syrup. Although you don't have to go raw, you can get honey from local bee keepers from health food stores, and sometimes fruit stands, and some vitamin stores, but most likely not the big chained vitamin stores. Local honey will be labelled as such. Raw honey comes from the combs cells, it may or may not be strained, thus the little thingies found in it. Supermarket honey most likely has added unwanted extras to cut costs like syrup or sugar. My husband used to know a beekeeper. Up until this website I never heard if using it in this way, but if it works don't knock it right? Is just love to know what was running thru the first persons mind when having that sticky stuff on thier hands, "hmmm, wonder what would happen if I put it here?" Curiosity of others and thier discoveries has led to many wonderful things in our lifetime, but I don't think it would be trying it out first. Lol. Yes, keep us posted as to how it works for you, I hope it goes well for you!

Hi Pack Momma/Aging Gracefully,
Thanks for more tips. I did read about the Honey being found in Egyptian tombs as well and I am sure that is a true story.
We have a Farmers Market in the next little town to us, I think it starts about 8-30am until noon, I will have to go and check them out when they start again which I think is probably the 1st.May., someone there may have a stand for honey. I have, in the past, tried the regular shop bought Honey but that didn't do any good, too processed I suppose.
