Health benefits of honey

Honey has always been a very popular culinary delicacy as well as


an important medical remedy for many millennia. Across the
globe, our ancestors seemed to be well aware of the many health
benefits of honey. Its earliest known use as a medicinal
prescription is found in Sumerian clay tablets that may be almost
4000 years old. Almost 30% of the Sumerians medical treatments
included honey. In India, honey is an important part of Siddha and
Ayurveda the ancient, traditional systems of medicine. In
ancient Egypt, it was used in managing skin

Today, honey is the focus of much scientific research by the


medical community, which has been investigating and confirming
the many uses of honey our forefathers thought up. Lets take a
look at a few of these.

#1 Honey is good for your blood


Honey influences the body in different ways depending on how you
consume it. If honey is mixed in tepid water and drunk, it has a beneficial
impact on the red blood cell (RBC) count in the blood. RBCs are mainly
responsible for carrying oxygen in the blood to various parts of the body.
The honey-tepid water mixture raises the bloods hemoglobin levels, which
takes care of anemic conditions. Iron deficiency anemia is a condition that
occurs when dietary intake or absorption of iron is insufficient, and the
oxygen carrying capacity of the blood is compromised. The reduced
oxygen carrying capacity leads to fatigue, breathlessness, and sometimes
depression and other problems. Honey can negate these issues by building
the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.

Building the level of oxygen in the blood is extremely important because


how healthy the body is and how easily it rejuvenates itself depends on the
level of oxygen in the blood. Preliminary research has also shown the
positive effect of honey on hypertension or high blood pressure.
Traditionally, honey is also consumed to reduce the effects of hypotension
or low blood pressure.
There is also some preliminary evidence that honey can prevent low white
blood cell (WBC) count in chemotherapy patients. In a small-scale
experiment, 40% of patients at risk of low WBC count had no recurrence of
the problem after consuming two teaspoons of therapeutic honey a day
during chemotherapy.
#2 Honey is safer than sugar
There has been a lot said about the negative effects of white sugar on the
body. Honey is a great substitute that is as sweet but also safe to consume.
Though honey also includes simple sugars in its chemical makeup, it is
quite different from white sugar in that it contains about 30% glucose and
40% fructose two monosaccharide or simple sugars with 20% other
complex sugars. Honey also includes dextrin, a starchy fiber. This
combination helps the body regulate blood sugar levels.
#3 Honey is good for yoga practitioners
For those doing yogic practices, consuming honey brings balance to the
blood chemistry and is especially recommended. Regular intake of honey
makes the system more vibrant. Taking tepid water mildly laced with honey
in the morning before beginning the practice can open the system up.
#4 Honey is antibacterial and antiseptic
Consumption of honey promotes an increase is beneficial antioxidant
agents, stimulates antibodies and combats harmful microbial activity.
Several studies have also looked at honey in wound treatment. One study
used a therapeutic honey that had undergone a special purification
process, which destroyed all strains of bacteria in wounds among the study

participants. Another study treated wounds and leg ulcers for 59 patients,
of whom 80% had not responded to conventional treatment, with
unprocessed honey. Except for one patient, all the others wounds showed
improvement. Whats more, the infected wounds became sterile within one
week of honey application.
In traditional medicine, one of the health benefits of honey includes the
treatment of respiratory infections. Daily consumption of honey is used to
deal with issues such as excess mucus and asthma.
Clinical research has also shown that medical-grade honey can destroy
food-borne illness pathogens such as Eschetichia coli and salmonella.
Honey has also shown promise in fighting bacterial strains that have
developed resistance to antibiotics. Research has shown that honey is
effective against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and
Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Honey fights infections on many levels making
it difficult for pathogens to develop resistance to it. Antibiotics by contrast,
typically target bacteria while they are growing, giving them an opportunity
to evolve resistance. Honey is also found to disrupt what is known as
quorum sensing, which reduces the virulence of bacterial pathogens, and
allows antibiotics to take effect.
#5 Honey is an energy food
One of the important uses of honey in traditional medicine is as an instant
energy booster. As mentioned above, honey contains many different kinds
of sugar molecules, especially glucose and fructose. However, unlike white
sugar where fructose and glucose are combined as sucrose and require an
additional step in the digestive process, in honey, these two sugars are
separate. Thus, the glucose acts as an instant energy source.
The United States National Honey Board recommends consumption of
honey because it contains many vitamins and minerals in small amounts. A
list of these include: niacin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, calcium, copper,
iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium and zinc.

#6 Honey helps with digestion


Honey helps reduce constipation, bloating and gas, thanks to it being a
mild laxative. Honey is also rich in probiotic or friendly bacteria such as
bifido bacteria and lactobacilli, which aid in digestion, promote the health of
the immune system, and reduce allergies. Using honey in place of table
sugar has been found to reduce the toxic effects in the gut of mycotoxins
produced by fungi.
#7 Honey combats skin and scalp infections
There are many health benefits of honey on skin and scalp wellbeing as
well. In a small-scale study with 30 patients that looked at the effects of
honey on treating seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff, participants applied
diluted crude honey every alternate day by gently rubbing their problem
areas for 2-3 minutes. The honey was left in place for three hours before
being washed off with warm water. All the patients showed improvement
with the treatment. Itching was relieved and scaling disappeared in a week,
while lesions disappeared in two weeks. The patients hair loss situation
also improved. Whats more, patients who continued the treatment for six
months by applying honey once a week did not suffer from a relapse.
#8 Honey helps children sleep soundly
Preliminary results from several studies indicate that honey can improve
the quality of sleep in children. Based on parents opinions, the studies
concluded that honey reduced cough among children during the night and
helped them sleep more soundly.
Points to note
Honeys that are darker in color are considered to have more antioxidants.
Honey does not rot and can be preserved for long periods of time when
sealed properly. In fact, archaeologists have found sealed jars of honey in
the tombs of pharaohs in the ancient Egyptian city of Thebes and in the
tomb of Tutankhamen. Theres no information on what the archaeologists
did with all that honey!

Honey should not be given to infants under 12 months of age due to the
risk that it may contain spores of the botulism bacteria that can lead to
infant botulism. These spores are found in dust and soil and could find their
way into honey. An infants system is still not geared to defend itself against
this kind of infection.
Another point to remember is that honey is not very different from white
sugar when it comes to diabetics. Both products increase the blood sugar
level and the same care must be taken by diabetic patients.
Uses of Honey in Siddha and Ayurveda
Perhaps no one has explored honeys benefits in as much depth as Indians
have. Honey was considered to be natures gift to mankind and was
prescribed as an essential ingredient of every kitchen. It was seen as an
important part of the diet for anyone over 12 months of age. Honey was
considered a predigested food, and was said to be easily digested by
human beings. One of the uses of honey in both Ayurveda and Siddha is as
a vehicle for medicines. When mixed with honey, medicines are easily and
quickly absorbed by the body, and they spread across the system through
blood circulation. Honey is also said to maintain the potency of a medicine
and prolong its effectiveness.
Siddha texts prescribe honey as part of the treatment for ushna (loosely
translated as heat) related issues, excess mucous, vomiting, gas problems
and impurities in the blood. Siddha texts identify seven different kinds of
honey, of which the honey collected from dense mountainous forests,
known as malaithen or mountain honey, is said to have the highest
medicinal value. This kind of honey is said to carry in it the properties of
many medicinal plants from which the bees collect nectar.
Traditional remedies and uses of honey

Honey remedies for cold

If you suffer from cold-related diseases or are one of those who has to deal
with blocked nostrils every morning, the consumption of neem, pepper,
honey and turmeric can help to a great extent. Heres a couple of simple
remedies.

Option 1: Roughly crush 10 to 12 peppercorns and soak them in two


teaspoons of honey overnight (8-12 hours). Consume the peppercorns in
the morning and make sure to chew them well. You can also add some
turmeric to honey.
Option 2: Grind neem leaves to a paste and roll the paste into a marblesized ball. Dip the ball in honey and swallow it every morning on an empty
stomach. Dont eat anything for the next 60 minutes to allow the neem to
pass through the system. This also helps with other kinds of allergies such
as skin or food allergies. Neem has many medicinal qualities and this
practice is highly beneficial. If you find regular neem leaves too bitter,
tender neem leaves can also be used.
Watermelon-Ginger-Mint Cooler

during summer months.

To finish off the article, here are a few facts about honey and bees in
general.
About 25,000 species of bee are known to exist, of which many are
unfortunately under threat of extinction.
Almost 80% of food in the supermarket is there as a result of beepollination.
The first record of human beings collecting honey comes from 6000
BC! This is depicted in a cave painting in the Cave of the Spider in
Valencia, Spain.
It takes about 10 million trips foraging for nectar, or the equivalent of
1.5 round trips around the world, for honey bees to produce the
equivalent of 500 grams of honey.
Editors Note: Isha Shoppe stocks several honey-related products. For
delivery in India, heres a list of food items and bodycare products. For
delivery in the US, heres a list of bodycare products.

SALES PROMTION TECHNIQUES
Consumer Sales Promotion Techniques
Consumer sales promotion is a marketing technique that is used to entice
customers to purchase a product. The promotions typically last for a set
period of time and are used to achieve a specific purpose, such as
increasing market share or unveiling a new product. A number of
promotional techniques are commonly used by product manufacturers and
sellers.

Ads by Google
Free Sales Software
Bitrix24 - Free Online Sales Software. Sales, Leads, Marketing

Sampling
Providing free samples is a technique used to introduce new products to
the marketplace. Samples give the consumer a chance to see how well
they like a product or try something they otherwise would not normally buy.
Local bakeries can hand out their new creations at a farmer's market.
Manufacturers of scented candles can give away samples at a local gift
shop. Sampling is sometimes used as part of a larger marketing campaign
that includes local newspaper or radio advertising.
Free Trial
A free trial is a way for a consumer to try a new product while eliminating
risk. It may be used when a product is unique to the marketplace, which
can make consumers leery of trying it out. This technique is commonly
used in television infomercials where the buyer has 30 days to try the
product, during which time he can return it for a full refund if he's not
satisfied.
Related Reading: Sales Promotion Advantages
Free Gifts
Free gifts entice consumers to make a purchase by including a bonus
along with the product. The gift may be included in the outer part of the
product packaging to serve as a visual attraction. It may also take the form
of a prize inside the package. As an example, a local food company could
place cash or gift cards inside random packages of its products.
Contests
Contests offer the customer a chance to win prizes like cash or store
merchandise. For example, an electronics retailer could hold a karaoke
contest at its store, while using local celebrities as judges. The contestant
who is voted the winner would receive a prize such as a piece of audio or

video equipment. Being creative helps generate more buzz about the
contest, and ultimately, the product you are trying to sell.
Special Pricing
Special pricing is used to offer consumers a lower price for a period of time
or to purchase in multiple quantities. For example, a retailer may offer a
product that normally costs 50 cents at a price of 3-for-99-cents during the
promotional period. Manufacturers often provide funds to the store to
subsidize the price reduction.

Customer value and benefitThis Ayurvedic industry is very complex industries with a manufacturing process,
which is sensitive and requires expert supervision as Dabur Honey enjoy good
brand loyalty.
The survival of the company over years is an add on trust and dependability of the
customer towards the product and the biggest challenge to the company to
maintain the image and brand loyalty in the market. The rising awareness on health
and fitness promotes the use of honey over sugar

The problems faced by the product are :


---No varieties can be provided in the product
--- Honey cannot be consumed directly
--- Always have to be promoted with other complimentary products
---Many products comes with the honey flavour reducing the chance of
additional honey while consuming
---Packaging should be attractive as well as easy to handle
The customers have to be motivated to buy this product as their is no direct
consumption and it always associated with other food products.

The value for money is also a problem because pricing down will spoil the brand
image and the trust of the product
The competitors use this to their advantage by using region names to build the trust
factor among the customers such as Kashmir honey, Coorg honey etc and price
them much cheaper compared to Dabur honey and attract customers.
31st July 2014
Buying behaviour and decision-making process:
The customers compares on the value given by that particular customer over other
similar product
To understand the people buying behaviour of honey you have to segregate the
customers based on the place and buying behaviour of the country
The countries which are fast moving such as Japan, China are other nations you
have look into their consumer pattern as people are busy most of the time the
packaging of the product has to be big and the product should be advertised as the
healthy product and can b consumed raw without any perpration, well this may not
working in countries like India as people buying behaviour is different and they
wish to buy grocery once in a monthn or once in 15 days as a result small quantity
packing are prefred over bigger once
And when it comes to region base the nature of the product have to be shown
according to the region when it comes to metropolitan countries when honey is
shown as a healthy and can go along with and complimentary foods will work
effectively where as in the places where woman are not much employed and are
usually house wives the health benefits of the honey will play an important role
when compared to other features and attracting children ill also be an effective
move
When the product is consumed for the first time the first thing to worry will be the
consumption pattern of the product as it will be the kind of product which should
be consumed with another item and you can pitch on the brand name and loyalty
The customer will also think about its usage which is the products perish ability
and the health benefits of the honey
Myth that even sweetness in honey is bad for diabetic patient

Traditionally market orientation (MO) focuses on micro environment and the
functional management of an organisation. However, contemporary organisations
have widened their focus to incorporate more roles, functions and emphasis on the
macro environment.
Sustainable Market Orientation (SMO) combines the principles of MO with a
macro marketing systems management approach, a stakeholder approach to
integrated corporate social responsibility and marketing strategy, and the use of the
sustainability management concept. SMO will serve to move corporate
management beyond the micro economic and functional management prescribed
by MO and provide a more comprehensive, stakeholder based approach.
