I have always heard good stuff about raw honey, but have yet to add it to my diet. Interesting that you can rub it on your dry skin. I think it would make you a sticky, gooey mess. No thanks! Ha! We used to have a natural cough syrup for the kids that was mostly honey. I've heard that pineapple is really good for that too. I have also made elderberry syrup with honey and elderberries and it's pretty tasty. Lots of good info here!
