The Power of Honey

For centuries, doctors have known about the healing powers of honey.  It is a natural antibiotic that fights harmful bacteria, boosts antioxidants that protect the skin, and helps reduce inflammation. 

Honey has been found to contain up to 200 naturally occurring bioactive compounds, including:

  • Vitamins
  • Minerals
  • Enzymes
  • Amino & Fatty acids
  • Phytonutrients – biologically active nutrients found in plants; many of which are antioxidants that reduce inflammation(1)

The Therapeutic Power of Buckwheat Honey

Different types of honey vary in potency depending on the nectar source of the honey, the type of bee, how it is harvested, and whether it has been heated in the production process.

BeeCure doesn’t heat our honey.  We keep the honey at the natural temperature of the beehive (approximately 95° F), so the product keeps all its inherent therapeutic properties.

Superfood for Your Skin

Raw buckwheat honey is especially potent. The buckwheat plant, the source of buckwheat honey, naturally has a high concentration of polyphenols, which reduce skin inflammation, provide antioxidant benefits, and strengthen the skin barrier to protect your skin from damage.

BeeCure has harnessed the power of buckwheat honey, and ounce for ounce it has more polyphenols than other honey-based formulations on the market.

In clinical studies, it has been shown to have superior inherent healing properties due to its high anti-inflammatory and superior antioxidant activities.

Nature Made. Science Proven.

In a study of radiation therapy patients, medicinal honey was shown to be more effective in pain relief, itching and irritation compared to conventional treatment on healing of radiotherapy-induced skin toxicity.2

- Calendula:
Calendula is well-known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Clinically studies have shown it to be highly effective for the prevention of acute dermatitis grade 2 or higher in a study of 254 patients who underwent breast cancer surgery and were to receive postoperative radiation therapy.3

- Bisabolol:
Bisabolol is naturally soothing to irritated skin. In fact, in a study of women undergoing radiotherapy who also developed radiodermatitis, bisabolol, the active ingredient in chamomile, showed superior effects compared to other products evaluated in relation to its soothing effect.4
