Fireweed honey is made in the clear mountain air.
Science shows that people sleep better when they eat honey before bedtime.
Blueberry Honey has Antibacterial Activity
Canadian researchers have recently shown that blueberry and buckwheat honeys have higher antibacterial activity than regular honey.
Katrina Brudzynski and Robert Lanningan of Brock University examined the antibacterial activity of honey against several strains of bacteria that have been found to infect wounds. The potency of various honeys against the bacterial strains depended on which flower the honey had been obtained from. Buckwheat and blueberry honeys had the highest minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 6.25 % (v/v) to 12.5% (v/v). It seems likely that phytochemicals from those plants result in higher antibacterial activity than found with regular honey. This makes sense in many ways as blueberries are known to have high concentrations of anti-oxidants, chemicals which have antibacterial activity as well as being effective against cancer and heart disease.
