  • Honey, nature’s sweet nectar, was considered by the ancient Vedic sages as one of the most exceptional food items available to mankind. It offers unique and very potent medicinal properties, BUT only when used properly.

    In stark contrast, honey when heated is considered fatal and is classified as toxic poison. Not only did ancient Vedic sages clearly warn civilisations about this, but now modern science is proving ancient wisdom by confirming the toxicity of heated honey.

    We personally consider heated honey as the #1 Biggest Flaw in The Post Modern Era Diet.

    IN THIS EPSIODE WE DISCUSS:
    🍯 The Importance of Honey
    🍯 Potent Medicinal Properties & Uses of Honey
    🍯 Ways to Adequately Take Honey
    🍯 Honey's Poisonous Potential
