13. Buckwheat Honey

This is perhaps the darkest honey of them all, as well as having a super strong taste. Not a bad taste, but it is very strong. This honey is super rich in minerals and antioxidants, which makes it a good, general, all-purpose type of honey. Terrific for those with anemia or persistent coughs.

14. Chestnut Honey

You will recognize chestnut honey by its very specific red/brown color, just like the nuts. This is one of the most healing types of honey because of its super antibiotic powers, but it perhaps one of the most unpopular honeys, and therefore difficult to find, because many people do not like the way it tastes. This honey is great for just about any ailment or disease you might have. It has powerful anti-inflammatory powers, and works well for helping to cure ulcers, urinary tract infections, and poor circulation. One tablespoon of this honey before bed will relieve constipation naturally in the morning. This honey is great for detoxing as well.

15. Mountain Honey

This honey is obtained from wild herbs that grow in high mountain areas in unpolluted areas, so it is a popular for its healing compounds. Even when diluted 150 to 1, this honey still has powerful antimicrobial compounds so it’s the perfect honey for fighting coughs, colds, flus, sore throats, infected sinuses, and other types of respiratory problems. This is the type of honey used most often in folk remedies to heal skin wounds and infections.

16. Acacia Honey

One of the most popular honeys in America today. It is very light in color and has a sweet flavor but it not overly strong. Many people like this honey because its flavor will not overpower food or drink flavors. Acacia honey is very relaxing and is the perfect accompaniment to soothing teas such as chamomile or valerian tea. This tea will relax you, calm anxiety and nervous tension, while inducing sleep.

17. Jerusalem Thorn Honey

Once you have seen Jerusalem Thorn honey, you will realize that it’s fairly difficult to fake this honey. Super high quality and very yellow in color, this honey crystallizes very quickly. It has a very light and delicate flavor. This honey strengthens the immune system, and reduces bad cholesterol in the blood, so it’s great for those with heart problems. It also stimulates blood circulation. If you are suffering from erectile dysfunction, eat 70 grams of this honey each day (spread it out during the day) and your problems should be eliminated in about 4 weeks.
