This honey is used for health purposes although no studies have proven its effectiveness. Many people have used eucalyptus honey for rheumatism, lumbago, sprains, stiff muscles, and general aches and pains. The honey is actually used topically and is rubbed into the skin in a circular pattern.

When ever you are buying honey you should always look for it to be raw. Raw honey is an totally unprocessed that is bottled without any heat added. This is the only way to ensure that the natural health benefits are not destroyed with excessive heat. When you go to your local grocer you will find honey that will not solidify and that is a sign that it has been heated. The other advantage to raw honey is that it has bee pollen, propolis and honey comb remnants in it each with their own nutritional advantages. These added materials are usually strained out of processed honey and sold separately or discarded because they can make it look cloudy.
