The month of September is National Honey Month, which means now is the perfect time to stock up on honey products. The purpose of Honey Month, which was first declared in 1989, is to promote beekeeping and the use of honey as a natural sweetener.
Mother Nature's sweetener tastes delicious and also has a ton of health benefits. Honey is known as a great source of antioxidants and for its antibacterial and anti-fungal properties. It is also great for digestive issues and a lifesaver when dealing with a sore throat. If you plan to use honey on your skin, prepare yourself for a radiant glow.
In honor of Honey Month, style expert Amy E. Goodman stopped by the 3rd Hour of TODAY to share some of her favorite honey products.
Read on to support the bees and shop honey face masks, chocolates, hand soaps and more.
