The Health Benefits of Wildflower Honey

As with most other types of honey, it’s good for a number of reasons. It contains vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and antimicrobial elements making it an effective way to naturally boost the body’s immune system, fight infections that cause colds, soothe sore throats, help with digestion and fight the damage done by the free radicals that cause many diseases.

And also as with other types of honey, those health benefits come with an asterisk: they’re only present in raw wildflower honey. If the honey has been pasteurized and gone through ultra-filtration (the normal process used by major honey producers to improve the product’s color and make it less likely to crystallize), most of the benefits are lost.
