Honey is a substance collected from bees. The bees make honey from floral nectar through enzymatic activity, regurgitation, and water evaporation. Honey has been used in traditional or folk medicine for many years as it has immune boosting, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. With these properties, it can help fight infections and relieve the symptoms of croup.
