Essence.
Honey is the hidden dew that falls on flowers and other plants and is collected by bees. It is formed from steam rising and maturing in the air. Overnight, the steam turns into dew, thickens and falls out in the form of honey. Sometimes honey, such as it is, is found in the Kasran Mountains. Honey varies depending on what trees and rocks it falls on. Most visible honey is collected by humans, while invisible honey is collected by bees. I believe that honey influences bee behavior and that bees collect it for food and store it. There is a type of honey that is pungent and poisonous.
Choice.
The best honey is very sweet, with a pleasant smell, somewhat pungent, reddish, strong, not the kind that is liquid and sticky and cannot be cut with a knife. The best honey is spring and summer honey, but winter honey is bad.
Nature.
Bee honey is hot and dry to the second degree. Sugar candy and sugar cane honey is hot in the first degree and not dry. It is possible that it is wet to the first degree.
Actions and properties.
The effect of honey is cleansing, opening the mouths of blood vessels, resolving fluids. It draws fluids from deep within the body and prevents rotting and spoilage of meat.
Cosmetics.
Lubricating with honey prevents the appearance of lice and nits and kills them. Honey from the bush in the form of an ointment is used for freckles, especially bitter honey; Honey and salt are used for eggplant-colored bruises.
Wounds and ulcers.
Honey is useful for deep-lying contaminated ulcers. Honey boiled until thick glues fresh wounds. Lubricating with honey and alum cures lichen.
Organs of the head.
Honey is mixed with Andaran salt and poured into the ear while warm. This cleans and dries the ear and strengthens hearing. Sniffing pungent, poisonous honey makes you lose your mind; there is nothing to say about eating it.
Organs of the eye.
Honey clears up blurred vision.
Respiratory system.
Applying honey to the roof of your mouth and gargling with it cures sore throat and is good for the tonsils.
Nutritional organs.
Water sweetened with honey strengthens the stomach and stimulates the appetite.
Eruption organs.
Sugarcane honey softens the stomach, but candy sugar honey does not soften it. Honey, from which the foam has not been removed, swells and weakens, but if the foam is removed, such phenomena weaken. Boiled honey does not cause stomach effects, but, on the contrary, sometimes strengthens the stomach in people whose nature is dominated by mucus, but it nourishes well.
Boiled in water, honey drives urine more strongly. We say: if honey and honey-sweetened water are able to carry nutrients from the stomach into the intestines, then they strengthen, and if they detect movement in the stomach and the food is poorly prepared for passage, they weaken.
Poisons.
If you drink hot honey with rose oil, it will bring benefits after being bitten by reptiles and taking opium. Licking honey is a good remedy for the bite of a rabid dog and poisoning from the roots of deadly mushrooms. Boiled honey is useful against poisons; vomiting caused with its help releases hellebore taken internally. Honey, which causes sneezing when smelled or eaten, causes sudden loss of sanity and cold sweats. To cure this, eat salted fish, drink honey water and induce vomiting with it.
