Therapeutic uses of Honey in Ayurveda
The FAO Codex Alimentarius Commission defines honey as ‘the natural sweet substance produced by honeybees from the nectar of flowers or from secretions coming from living organisms feeding on plants, that bees gather, transform and combine with specific ingredients, store and leave to ripen in the combs of the hive.’
In Ayurveda honey is called as “Madhu”. Its qualities are explained as follows.
“Vaatalam guru sheetam cha raktapittakaphapaham |
Sandhatru cchedanam ruksham kashayam madhuram madhu ||”
“It has sweetness (madhura rasa) with added astringent as end taste (Kashaya anu rasa). It is heavy (guru guna), dry (ruksha) and cold (sheeta). Its effect on doshas is as follows It aggravates vata, scrapes kapha and normalizes pitta and rakta. It promotes healing process.”
The contents of Honey are
- Sugars like fructose, glucose, sucrose, maltose, lactose and other disaccharides and trisaccharides.
- Proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids,
- Volatile aromatic substances.
- Ashes and water etc.
Various ingredients of honey have helped it to become not only a sweet liquid but also a natural product with high nutritional and medicinal value.
The medicinal quality, taste, texture, color, aroma of honey differs according to the geographical area and the species of plants from which it has been collected.
Types of Honey:
Eight types of honey are described in ayurveda depending on the type of bee which collects it. They are Pouttika ,Bhramara .Kshoudra, Makshika , Chatra , Arghya ,Oudalaka ,Dala .
Pouttika – This honey is collected by very large bees from the nectar of poisonous flowers. It increases vata, causes gout and burning sensation in chest.It is also sedative and reduces fat.

Dala - Dry and reduces vomiting.
Amongst all the above “Makshika” is considered as the best type with immense medicinal properties.
Therapeutic uses of Honey:
- As it contains sugars which are quickly absorbed by our digestive system and converted into energy, this can be used as instant energizer.
- As it is hygroscopic it speeds up healing, growth of healing tissue and dries it up.
- Honey acts as a sedative and is very usefull in bed wetting disorders.
- Honey is very good antioxident which restores the damaged skin and gives soft, young looks.
- Honey has antibacterial properties due to its acidic nature and enzymically produced hydrogen peroxide.
- Constant use of honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles to fight bacteria and viral diseases.
In Ashtanga Hridaya the great classic of ayurveda, the therapeutic uses of honey are explained as follows.
“Chakshushayam Chedi tritshleshmavishahidmaasrapittanut |Mehakushtakrimicchardishwaasakaasaatisaarajit ||
Vranashodhana sandhaanaropanam vaatalam madhu ||”
- Honey is very good for eyes and eye sight.

Ayurveda explains another special quality of honey. Honey is called as “Yogavahi” . The substance which has a quality of penetrating the deepest tissue is called as Yogavahi. When honey is used with other herbal preparations it enhances the medicinal qualities of those preparations and also helps them to reach the deeper tissues.
Precautions to be taken before using honey:

Did I eat well today?
For breakfast, I had low sugar oatmeal (120 calories, 4 sugar) and a cup of V8 light drink that has a serving of fruits & veggies (50 calories, 10 sugar).
For lunch I had an all organic no sugar added fruit bar (50 cal), a fiber one bar (140 cal), and 2/3 cup of a cheerio chex mix (130 cal).
I also had a slice of watermelon, a banana, and for dinner, a sandwich with 2 45 calorie wheat bread pieces, 98% fat free turkey, and no fat honey mustard. I’ll probably have a sugar free 60 calorie pudding cup later as well. Thanks!
I also am going to workout out for 45 minutes, probably burning 300 calories. My BMR is 1550, if that makes a difference too! & if it wasn’t obvious, I’m dieting.
It sounds like you have a balanced diet as long as your bread servings are whole wheat there should be no problem.
If you want to create a really well balanced diet then go to www.mypyramid .gov. It will tell everything about serving sizes, what to eat and not to eat…Best of luck to you.
