Natural Sweeteners 101: Benefits of Switching to Wild Forest Honey

What do you recall as soon as you hear the word ‘sweet’? Let us guess, ‘Sugar’, correct? Well, natural sugar is fine for consumption as long as taken in moderation. But added sugar only leads to a higher risk of obesity, diabetes, and unhealthy blood triglyceride levels.

On the other hand, Ayurveda considers ‘sweet’ as one of the most essential tastes, which helps in coating the tongue and throat and facilitates elimination of bowels. A fair intake of natural sweeteners alleviates thirst, pacifies ‘Pitta’ and ‘Vata’, and nourishes the heart and mind.

One of these natural sweeteners is wild forest honey. Let’s dive deep into how it's made and why you should consume it every single day.

Wild forest honey or ‘Vanya Van Madhu’ is unadulterated, unprocessed honey that is squeezed directly out of the beehives. It is filtered through a mesh or cloth to eliminate pollutants such as dead bees, beeswax, and debris. Due to the presence of numerous natural and necessary ingredients, the texture of wild forest honey is thick and cloudy in texture; tastes less sweet, and has a slightly salty taste.

Organic wild forest honey is gathered by bees from wild forest trees, which is known as honeydew. It’s collected from rare herbs and wild flora that gives it a sweeter fragrance and taste, in comparison to the honey consumed on a daily basis. 

Because of its purity and extraction methods, Wild Forest Honey offers essential benefits that take care of our body on many levels. Let’s talk about them in detail.
