Heal Anxiety and Stress with Raw Honey

Felipe Cabral

You may have struggled with stress and anxiety at one point or another in your life.

We can all agree that modern life is just a little too hectic. Usual solutions like medication or meditation routines never really seem to move the needle for some, and it maybe the the case for you. Recently we stumbled onto some very promising research that claims raw honey has the power to help you find some chill. Are you skeptical? Stick with me and you'll find out that it really works and how our HNY Orange Blossom Honey can work wonders for you:

 
 

Raw, unprocessed honey contains powerful components that can address underlying causes of anxiety and stress. It does this by decreasing inflammation, balancing hormones, healing gut issues, and providing key micronutrient. Raw honey can holistically transform health. A very recent study analyzed raw honey's effects on anxiety and mobility, increasing interest in its use as a natural remedy. And you know here at HNY, that's what we're all about!

 

How Raw Honey Reduces Anxiety

Raw honey possesses extensive healing qualities from its unique blend of enzymes, vitamins, antioxidants, plant nutrients, and germ-fighting components. The science suggests it can gently stabilize neurotransmitters, blood sugar, oxidative damage, and gut-brain connections without forcing anything.

We figured, it can't hurt to experiment with raw honey for more sustainable, holistic anxiety relief instead of just trying to manipulate your brain with meds. Now to the study!

 

Recent Honey Anxiety Study

A 2022 study on rats analyzed various raw honey doses on common anxiety behaviors like exploration, mobility, and hesitation. The key findings included:

  • High raw honey doses altered behaviors considerably

  • The maximum dose (2 grams per kg of weight) increased relaxed behavior

  • Results show raw honey’s natural anxiety relieving potential from single doses

The 2 grams per kg dose equates to a very high 118 grams for a 130 pound human. However, the study nonetheless demonstrates raw honey’s anti-anxiety capacities.

 

Practical Raw Honey Solutions for Anxiety Relief

While large amounts elicited benefits in the rodent study, reasonable raw honey amounts can also minimize anxiety and stress by promoting general wellness. Here's are some super simple ways you can incorporate these solutions that are bound to make an impact:
