Raw Organic Honey We at Raw Eden

Raw Organic Honey - that is all we carry

We at Raw Eden sell the highest quality honey available anywhere. It is raw, organic, unheated, unpasteurized, unfiltered honey that is collected from remote areas of the world far away from industrial pollution. It is gathered from pristine fields located in the wilderness. It is alive with enzymes, nutrients, trace minerals.

Most honey on the market today is not healthy for you. It has been heavily processed, chemically refined, and the hives are often treated with a number of antibiotics widely used in beekeeping to control disease and parasites.

The bee hives are close to fields that have been sprayed with toxic agricultural chemicals and the bees uptake these poisons and deposit them in your honey. Further most bee hives are located close to genetically modified crops and the sugars from these plants are not natural and often this results in the honey having a much higher glycemic index and little healthful nutritional value.

Our honeys is raw, unfiltered, unheated, and a completely certified organic product collected from areas where the bees are able to gather the pollen, nectar from untouched areas.

There are very few places left in the world where this is possible due to the vast amount of commercialized agriculture.

But what are the benefits of this superior type of honey— Raw honey contains over 5000 enzymes including amylase, a digestive enzyme for carbohydrates. It contains over 20 amino acids and up to 27 trace minerals. It has antioxidants that provide natural defense against cell

damage. In addition these antioxidants are believed to aid the body in fighting a host of diseases. The human body was designed to digest natural sugars such as raw honey more readily than refined sugars as evidenced in part by the fact that honey ingestion does not produce the radical effect on blood sugar levels that refined sugar does, nor does it produce the weight gain associated with refined sugar ingestion.

Much of the effectiveness of raw honey to help treat respiratory problems has been traced to the bee pollen and propolis suspended within it.

According to a research report from Bulgaria, they found that honey has anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, and expectorant properties that insure the body has an immunobiological defense and give it the capacity to regenerate its attacked cells.

What should raw honey look like ?

Most honeys found in the supermarket are not raw honey but “commercial" honey, which has been heated and filtered so that it looks cleaner and smoother, more appealing on the shelf, and easier to handle and package. When honey is heated, its delicate aromas, yeast and enzymes which are responsible for activating vitamins and minerals in the body system are partially or totally destroyed. Hence, such honey is not as nutritious as raw honey. Characterized by fine textured crystals, raw honey looks milkier and contains particles and flecks made of bee pollen honeycomb bits, propolis. It will usually granulate and crystallize to a margarine-like consistency after a month or two.

There exists no uniform code when referring to "raw honey". There are no strict legal requirements for claiming and labeling honey as raw. You may find raw honey that have been unprocessed but warmed to retard granulation for a short period of time and allow light straining and packing into containers for sale. In this case, the honey will not be considered 100% "raw" because it has been heated and therefore rightfully should not be labeled as such by the supplier.

- In the book “Folk Medicine”, Dr Jarvis an ear, nose and throat specialist reveals some startling facts about raw honey and honeycomb. He says the honeycomb is excellent for the treating of stuffy nose, nasal sinusitis and hay-fever. He always says that raw honey can produce healing for skin burns and is essential in the diet of children because it provides the composite of minerals needed for the growing body
( iron, copper, manganese, silica, chlorine, potassium, sodium, phosphorous, aluminum, magnesium, zinc, lead and sulphur ).

- Probably the most beneficial effect of pollen (contained in raw unfiltered honey) is that, taken internally it quickly produces the same anti-putrefactive effect as lactic foods and thus contributes to a healthy digestive system and good assimilation of nutrients—absolute prerequisites for good health and long life.

An Oklahoma allergist told a meeting of 150 beekeepers that raw honey is an effective treatment for 90 per cent of all allergies. Dr. William G. Peterson, an allergist said he now has 22,000 patients across the nation who are using raw honey along with more customary medications to relieve allergy symptoms.

Dr. Schacht, of Wiesbaden, claims to have cured many hopeless cases of gastric and intestinal ulcers with honey and without operations. It is rather unusual that a physician of standing has the courage and conviction to praise honey. The beekeepers and their friends know that honey will cure gastric and intestinal ulcerations, this distressing, prevalent and most dangerous malady, a precursor of cancer. But the news has not yet reached 99% of the medical profession.
