Bee Product Therapy

Humankind has reveled in the sweetness of honey since our first anonymous ancestor robbed hives for the energy jolt only honey provides.

Favored by Pharoahs and Presidents, 2000 year old honey surfaced unspoiled from Egyptian tombs. Christian myth has it that honey was the first and last food Jesus ate

Like good cheese or wine, today’s connoisseurs relish honey’s regional accents, discerning their Tupelo from Tasmanian.

But it’s not just food value that has made honey trendy. After several decades when its therapeutic value was overlooked in favor of flashy antibiotics, new research shows bee products (honey, bee pollen and bee venom) offer startling health benefits, from anti inflammatory to antimicrobial, antibacterial and antioxidant activity.

Recent studies have suggested bee products



  • Slow down formation of plaque deposits that cause artherosclerosis
  • Reduce free radical damage
  • Accelerate wound healing and counteract antibiotic resistant bacteria
  • Ease sore throats
  • Reduce scarring
  • Destroy harmful intestinal bacteria like E. Coli and others that cause stomach ulcers without harming the natural friendly bacteria essential to good health.


  • Recent New Zealand research has shown honey and bee venom act synergistically to enhance the anti inflammatory benefits of bee venom . While small amounts of bee venom are found naturally in all honey, Happy Families Honeybalm contains manuka honey with added bee venom for optimum joint health.

    Research by world honey expert Dr Peter Molan has shown New Zealand wild bush Active Manuka Honey was eight times more effective against the bacteria that causes stomach ulcers (helicobacter pylori) than other honeys.

    A study for the Central Public Health Authority in London of antibiotic resistant bacteria from all over Britain showed manuka honey was effective against Super Bugs like MRSA, which have proved a scourge against the old and infirm in hospitals.
