HONEY, THE GOLDEN HEALER

For generations across Southern Africa, honey has been gathered not simply as food but as a sacred healing substance, a gift of co-operation between the natural world and mankind. Guided by the honeyguide bird to hidden hives, harvesters would take only what was needed, leaving the rest in gratitude. This reverence is why honey remains one of the most treasured ingredients in traditional healing. It restores, protects and carries the power of plants deep into the body and skin.
