Throughout Mesoamerica, it has long been treasured in traditional wellness practices and is known for its soothing, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and moisturizing properties. For generations, it has been used in countless home remedies, including applications for the skin and eyes, making it one of the world’s most revered honeys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause this honey is raw and alive with naturally occurring enzymes, it should never be heated above 95°F (35°C).
