Health Benefits of Honey

Health Benefits of Honey…
Contains Nutrients
Rich in Antioxidants
Can help lower cholesterol and triglycerides
Can help lower blood pressure
Beneficial to Heart Health
Promotes Burn and Wound Healing
Can Help Reduce Coughing
Healthier Alternative to Sugar
Is Antibacterial
Can help maintain a healthy weight

You also want to make sure your honey is raw.  Honey found in most large box stores is commercial honey which is heavily processing, may be chemically refined, and excessively heated (pasteurized) which destroys natural enzymes, vitamins, and minerals.

To experience all the health benefits of honey, make sure you are buying local raw honey just like we carry at Whitaker’s Farm Market!

Dr Jocelin’s Favorite Essential Oil for Allergy Season!

  • One of our family’s favorites.
  • Lavender is the most versatile of all essential oils
  • Fabulous for allergies!  It is a natural antihistamine which can help to calm the body’s reaction to allergens and encourage the body to naturally remove them from irritating your mucus membranes.
  • Lavender is an adaptogen, and therefore can assist the body when adapting to stress or imbalances.
  • It is a great aid for relaxing and winding down before bedtime, yet has balancing properties that can also boost stamina and energy.
  • Therapeutic-grade lavender is highly regarded for skin and beauty. Excellent for helping reduce scaring.
  • It may be used to soothe and cleanse common cuts, bruises, burns, and skin irritations.
