Honey is a natural anti-bacterial substance which can be used to relieve many different ailments. If you can, you are best to get locally produced honey, as apparently this will work best.
For a sore throat - mix with a little lemon juice & warm water to make a soothing drink.
For spots/sores - cover them in honey & wash off after about half an hour. Do this daily for a week or so, you should see a noticeable improvement. (Did this with my chicken pox scabs recently, and it seemed to help). Also good for acne.
Cuts/broken skin - apply to clean & help the healing process.
Been to an alternative practitioner recently, about a problem with my son, and he has recommended Manuka Honey as part of his treatment -

It's good for all sorts of things, and even gets rid of the MRSA bug that has been plaguing hospitals for so long.
