Hello Bee and Honey Lovers!

🍯🐝 Hello Bee and Honey Lovers! 🐝🍯

In Ayurveda, honey has been treasured for thousands of years as a natural healer. Valued for its medicinal properties, it is an essential ingredient in many traditional remedies.

According to Ayurvedic principles, honey is believed to have a lekhana (“scraping”) action, making it traditionally used to support healthy metabolism and help clear excess ama (toxins) within the Ayurvedic framework. Honey has also been studied for its natural antibacterial and anti-fungal properties.

✨ A few Ayurvedic honey tips:

🍯 Avoid heating honey. Traditional Ayurveda advises against heating honey. If adding honey to tea, allow it to cool to a comfortable drinking temperature before stirring it in. Don’t cook with honey! 

🐝 Choose raw and local honey where possible.

⚠️ Ayurvedic note: Classical Ayurvedic texts advise against consuming honey and ghee together in equal proportions by weight.

Amazing to see all those bees working so hard—not just for the honey they produce, but for the vital role they play in our world. 🐝🌼

It reminded me when listening to my daughter, Elva, preparing for her speakers challenge. Her topic is: What would happen if bees became extinct? I’m so proud of her for choosing such an important subject and raising awareness about something that affects us all.

It’s not always the biggest things that make the greatest impact on life. Sometimes it’s something as small as a little bee that makes the biggest difference. 💛

With love Karin and the Lakshmi Team 🍯💛
