honey & healing
“Uncooked honey is medicine, cooked honey is poison”
The quality of sweetness is associated with:
loving kindness
compassion
contentment
honey as medicine:
Raw honey is regarded as a medicinal sweet in Ayurveda. Foods that carry the sweet taste are said to build OJAS, our vital immunity, ability to ward off disease, and capacity to feel genuine satisfaction. Honey also acts as a catalytic carrier of other healing substances, drawing them deep into the tissues. Honey lightens heavier foods and herbs while stimulating the AGNI or digestive fire.
