Local Honey

 Why Local Honey is the Sweetest Medicine

by Vaidya Jay 

Let’s settle this once and for all: Local or Brazil—what honey is good for you?

Brazil is too far from here, my friend. When it comes to honey, Ayurveda always brings us back to nature, to locality, to connection. I say go local—and go raw. Even better if it’s cold filtered. That’s the kind of honey I use, and the kind I trust.

You see, Ayurveda teaches that honey is not just food—it’s medicine. But there’s a condition: never heat it. Never boil it. Never microwave it. Keep it just as the bees gave it to you—room temperature, straight from the hive.

“You heard me right—to bee protected.”

Honey has the power to fine-tune your body’s enzymes. Every single day, one tablespoon is enough. Don’t overdo it. It’s sweet. It’s tempting. But Ayurveda says one tablespoon per day per person is the maximum. That’s all your body needs.

And here’s the magic:

Honey scrapes kapha, those sticky, sluggish toxins sitting in your gut. It gets things moving. It clears the way. It boosts immunity. It prepares your body for the changing seasons. Especially when it’s local—because local bees gather pollen from the very flowers you breathe in every day. That’s how it builds your resistance.

And let me tell you this—honeybees are my favorite beings.
They are nature’s messengers. They pollinate, they connect, they create this golden gift that helps us live in sync with the earth. With the seasons. With ourselves.

So if you ask me—
Go for local honey. Go raw. Go cold filtered.
One tablespoon a day. Every day.
And live sweetly—for a hundred years.
