• Improving dental hygiene, removing tartar, preventing periodontal disease and strengthening teeth.
• Increasing saliva production and improving metabolism.
• Better sleep.
• Strengthening the body’s immune system.
• Preventing infections and colds.
• Helping with the treatment of asthma.
• Helping people quit smoking more quickly.
• Improving brain activity and the body’s physical and mental wellbeing.

How to Eat Honeycomb

Honey should be chewed together with the honeycomb several times a day. The chewed pieces of beeswax should not be swallowed, as they are difficult to digest.

Chewing beeswax with honey has long been recommended in traditional folk medicine, and modern scientific research confirms the antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties of certain components of honey.

In apitherapy, chewing honeycomb is considered beneficial for sinusitis, hay fever and the inner lining of the respiratory tract. Honeycomb is particularly recommended for people with allergies and those suffering from asthma.
