Honey is one of the natural resources that has been used the most by human beings. Already from the medical texts, honey appears as an important resource to treat wounds, pain and diseases. 🤕

In the Quran it says:

“ثُمَّ كُلِي مِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ فَاسْلُكِي سُبُلَ رَبِّكِ ذُلُلًا ۚ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بُطُونِهَا شَرَابٌ مُخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوَانُهُ فِيهِ شِفَاءٌ لِلنَّاسِ ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ”

“`Then eat of every (kind of) fruit and follow the ways (and laws) of your Lord as that have been made easy (for you).´ There comes forth from their insides a fine fluid of varying hues which is a cure for the people. Infact, in this there is a sign for a people who reflect.”
📜 (Quran 16:69)

Honey has been attributed a relaxing property that promotes sleep and some symptoms of stress. It is also used for tooth pain, especially in children older than one year, in the treatment of asthma and hiccups. It is also used to moderate blood pressure levels. 🥺

According to Abu Said Al Khoudri (may Allaah be pleased with him), a man approached the Prophet (ﷺ) and said:
“My brother complains of a stomachache.”
The Prophet (ﷺ) told him:
“Make him drink honey.”
The man returned a second time, then the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“Make him drink honey.”
The man returned for the third time, then the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“Make him drink honey.”
So he came back and the Prophet (ﷺ) said to him:
“Allah told the truth and your brother’s belly lied.” Make him drink honey. ”
So he gave her honey and she was fine.
