Royal Jelly Honey : Nectar of the Gods

Honey has a long history of usage from ancient vedic times where it was an important ingredient in various rituals as well as in the use of medicine- ayurvedic. Honey was gathered in the traditional way during vedic times where nests were sought out and honey taken. The way this was done ensured that the nest was not destroyed and so ensured a lifelong supply. Considering this natural way of collecting honey, the collection of Royal Jelly was extremely difficult- so say researchers who suggest that it was only hundreds of years later when the keeping of hives allowed royal jelly production to be possible. However there is research to suggest there were some unique methods involved in honey and royal jelly collection that involved the use of the natural beehive as opposed to modern man-made beehives. Royal jelly collection on a large scale was therefore in operation during vedic times and is not a modern development.
There are quite a number of vedic texts which talk of honey and royal jelly as being the nectar of the Gods and have the ability to cause god-like effects on us humans.

So I would suggest everyone takes a teaspoon of honey everyday as an everyday tonic. But ensure you purchase good quality honey which has a large amount of royal jelly added. I have found some honey which although suggests that it contains royal jelly (and other ingredients like bee pollen and propolis)- the amounts they contain are so minuscule that one must doubt the effectiveness. There are also honeys that are overpriced such as manuka honey which use ratings to suggest the amount of so called good chemicals within the honey. Some research suggests that this way of categorising honey is not very useful in determining its value.

There is a particular honey which I have been supplied with that I can purport to be of good quality as well as excellent value for money. If anyone wishes to purchase a bottle to try I can provide them depending on whether I have extra supplies. This honey is at times difficult to get hold of. I can provide a bottle of 250grammes of this honey for the cost of £8. Please get in touch. There are of course other honey products out there so make your own choices based on sound advice.
