Eucalyptus Honey
Eucalyptus Honey is a variety of honey made from the flower nectar of eucalyptus blossoms. It has a distinctly herbal flavour with a slight medicinal scent to it.
Eucalyptus honey is especially known for its health benefits due to the following properties.
1. Antibacterial Properties
Eucalyptus honey is naturally antibacterial, supported by hydrogen peroxide, low moisture and low PH. Due to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, it reduces bacteria at the site of the infection.
2. Source of Vitamins and Minerals
Eucalyptus honey boasts a rich source of vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin C, potassium, copper, iron and calcium.
3. Rich in Anti-Oxidants
Eucalyptus honey is a source of potent polyphenols and flavonoids, natural compounds with strong antioxidant activity. Antioxidants protect cells from damage and oxidate stress that could worsen inflammation and ageing. This is why such honey is said to possess anti-ageing properties.
