Pure Honey in the UK
I wanted to start incorporating more honey into my diet - but I've been told it has to be pure honey to get the full effects .. has to be free from artificial preservatives etc.
I have bought some from the supermarkets and the ingredients listed are pure honey .. but its still not the correct one?
Where do I find such honey in the UK? or by mail order world wide?

Salaam,
Supermarket honey is pasteurized honey. The honey is heated to kill of bacteria and mold spores that cause botulism. The medical effects of the honey are thus severely reduced. The GI count of the honey also goes up as a result.
Raw honey from small health food stores is un refined and pasteurised. One of the best is Manuka honey from New Zealand. It costs around 4 times the amount of normal honey but it is well worth it. Do a search for Manuka honey on the net. Holland and Barrett sell it.

, it was raw honey I was looking for!
Anybody know the best method of taking it? i.e on toast or tea or milk
Re: Pure Honey in the UK
If you want completely raw organic honey ie: not pasturised/ homogonised/ bees fed sugar/ antibiotics etc etc, the only place to get it from will be here: http://beemercy.com/
Not only will you be supporting your fellow muslims and a registered charity but also be getting the best product you can inshaallah! The honey is lovely, the best way to take this honey is to mix however many teaspoons you can tolerate in a bottle of lukewarm water (never hot!), add a few drops apple cider vinegar and a squeeze of lemon juice and drink this throughout the day as a total health drink. The benefits are many, you will see them occur yourself if you take this regularly inshaallah. If you are in London, I can find out if there any any beemercy reps near you to save on postage costs. The prices are very reasonable, if you know your honey then you will know that the price is more than fair!
