Calming Chamomile Honey

Chamomile has been used for centuries in teas as a mild, relaxing sleep aid, treatment for fevers, colds, stomach ailments and as an anti-inflammatory, to name only a few therapeutic uses. Chamomile may be used internally or externally.

Honey naturally boosts the immune system due to its antimicrobial, antifungal and antiviral properties. The pH of honey is generally quite acidic with a reading in the 3 to 5 range. Acidic substances are known to counteract the growth of most bacterial species, as the majority of bacteria prefer a neutral pH around 7. As a result, bacterial colonies fail to flourish in the presence of honey.
