Honey has been used by humans for food and medicinal purposes for centuries, as referenced in the Talmud, Bible, and Quran. Prophet Muhammad recommended honey for treating various ailments, including coughs, angina, measles, stomach ulcers, ear pain, infected leg ulcers, and eye diseases. Honey is rich in both enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, which can prevent oxidation in food and inhibit the growth of pathogenic microorganisms. Its therapeutic properties have been confirmed for cancer and infectious diseases, leading to a renewed interest in honey as a natural resource free from the side effects of synthetic medications. However, market competition necessitates strict quality control and product certification.
