You can do more with honey than put it in your tea! First off, honey naturally suppresses a cough. That constant tickle in your throat or that cough that just won't quit can be stopped with a spoonful of the sweet stuff. Studies show that it even works better than a cough drop.
Also, honey soothes burns and can be used by putting it on a minor burn to stop that stinging feeling. Honey also has an anti-inflammatory effect and can prevent the burn from getting infected, which means a faster recovery.
