Gut health has become a cornerstone of wellness conversations, linking a balanced microbiome to both a healthy body and mind. While fermented foods and a diverse plant-based diet are often championed as essential for gut health, not everyone is keen on incorporating sauerkraut or hitting the target of 30 plant-based foods a week.
That’s where Honey Heaven offers a delicious alternative—especially for those with a sweet tooth.
Honey Heaven, a family-owned business, provides over 16 varieties of organic honeys sourced from artisanal beekeepers in the pristine Hungarian countryside. Co-founder Silvia combines her deep knowledge of spices, herbs, and botanicals—passed down from her mother—with these premium honeys to enhance their natural benefits.
Organic honey is more than just a sweet treat—it’s a natural prebiotic and probiotic. Prebiotics and probiotics are compounds that feed the beneficial bacteria in your gut microbiome, playing a vital role in digestion, nutrient absorption, reducing inflammation and overall health. All Honey Heaven honeys offer prebiotic and probiotic benefits, but four standout blends have additional gut-boosting ingredients:
In this premium creamed honey, the distinctive heat of raw ginger contrasts deliciously with the sweetness of the honey.
Enjoy on toast, add to a ginger cake mix or try it as a topping for ice cream! Of course, ginger and honey are renown as a remedy for coughs and colds. If you feel the sniffles descending, melt some Honey & Ginger Honey in hot water with a dash of lemon for a tasty natural elixir.
But ginger is of course also known for its positive effects on digestion. Gingerol, a natural component of ginger root, benefits gastrointestinal motility ― the rate at which food exits the stomach and continues along the digestive process. Eating ginger encourages efficient digestion, so food doesn't linger as long in the gut. This prevents constipation and nausea, the relief of which ginger has been eaten for centuries.
This organic raw wildflower honey crystalises quickly making it perfect for a creamed honey.
Add to this the distinctive flavour of cardamon and you have an epicurean delight! Honey Heaven use green cardamon seeds for their intense spicy aroma and flavour which adds a different layer of taste when used on toast, stirred into porridge, or perhaps drizzled over panna cotta and figs for a dessert with a Middle-Eastern twist.
Cardamom is said to bring with it many health benefits, not least for digestive issues. Cardamom seeds contain a large volume of volatile oils and have been used medicinally as a digestive aid for years. These volatile oils relieve excess gas, while improving digestive function and provide natural support to the intestine – easing bloating.
This product combines organic Full Spectrum CBD oil with premium Organic Hungarian Honey. The oil lends a delicious nutty flavour to the naturally sweet honey which makes it ideal not just for spreading on toast but also in baking or salad dressings.
The reputed health benefits of CBD oil are wide ranging from helping to alleviate stress and anxiety, headaches, insomnia, menstrual pain and more. Combining CBD oil with honey makes it more palatable for those who find the earthy flavour of the CBD oil a little unusual but who want to take advantage of the benefits.
But how does CBD work on the gut?
Inflammation is our body’s natural response to infection and injury. In small amounts, it’s a good thing as it shows our bodies are responding appropriately to threats. But sometimes, inflammation outstays its welcome and becomes a threat in its own right. When chronic inflammation concentrates in the gut, it can manifest in digestive issues, chronic illnesses, or other health problems.
Thankfully, it’s possible that CBD could provide relief for gut inflammation, including Irritable Bowel Syndrome – a condition from which millions around the world suffer as studies show that CBD may have powerful anti-inflammatory properties which can alleviate the symptoms. In addition, thanks to the commonly accepted brain-gut connection, anxiety and stress can impact your gut health and vice-versa. This can make it hard to determine whether stress is causing your stomach issues, or if your stomach issues are causing your stress. CBD could be the key to interrupting this cycle. Recent studies have shown that CBD can ease anxiety in a clinical setting. Stress and digestive issues are often closely linked. Soothing one issue might soothe the other. So, it stands to reason that CBD could lead to both a calmer mind and a calmer gut.
Combining organic raw honey with turmeric creates a potent duo for supporting gut health. Here’s an exploration of their individual and synergistic benefits, backed by science:
Benefits of Turmeric for Gut Health:
Anti-inflammatory Effects:
The active compound in turmeric, curcumin, has powerful anti-inflammatory properties. It helps reduce gut inflammation, which is crucial for managing conditions like IBS and IBD.
Supports Gut Microbiome:
Turmeric has been shown to promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria while suppressing harmful strains.
Gut Barrier Function:
Curcumin enhances the gut barrier’s integrity, reducing “leaky gut” by tightening junctions between intestinal cells.
Antioxidant Protection:
Its antioxidants combat oxidative stress, which can harm the gut lining and disrupt the microbiome.
Synergistic Benefits of Raw Honey and Turmeric: Combining these two creates a powerhouse for gut health:
Enhanced Anti-inflammatory Action: The anti-inflammatory properties of honey and turmeric work together to reduce gut irritation.
Prebiotic and Microbiome Balance: While honey feeds beneficial bacteria, turmeric ensures harmful bacteria and inflammation are kept in check.
Digestive Soothing: Honey soothes the digestive tract, while turmeric improves bile production and digestion, aiding nutrient absorption.
