Super Health Benefits of Honey During Monsoon
Honey, often referred to as the 'liquid gold' has been known to mankind since the ancient times. Due to the numerous health benefits that come along with honey, it was also considered as one of the chief ingredients in Ayurvedic medication.
Of late, it is also being recommended in certain modern medications too. More so during the monsoon season, honey is considered as a must-have ingredient.
Due to the transition in weather and the rains, most people are susceptible for viral infections, especially those whose immunity levels are low.

Children and elderly, whose immunity levels remain low when compared to the adults, are among the worst hit by these viral infections with the onset of monsoon.
Honey is well known for its antibacterial, antifungal and antimicrobial properties that help fight against the infection better, and it should be taken up on the must-have list during the monsoons.
It is enriched with several nutrients. It is rich in vitamins, calcium, iron and minerals that are needed to build-up the body's immunity.
