2. Benefits and properties 

This honey like the rest of honey has some common properties. Among the common properties of honeys, the best known are:

• Colds and sore throats: Honey has a high concentration of sugars, contains enzymes and is acidic. For this reason, honey has a great bactericidal and antimicrobial power. This makes its consumption favor the healing of colds and other throat infections.
• Wound healing: For the same reasons explained above, honey accelerates wound healing.

However, honeys from myelates such as oak have a higher content of antioxidants and flavonoids. This is mentioned in the research article published in the journal “Foods” in 2019.
