Benefits of Honey Tapping

The biggest benefit of honey tapping is that it helps in lymphatic drainage. This will help the lymph to move to the nearest lymph node faster and recover from your skin faster.

It gets imposed into your skiing pores and cleans them. It also helps your skin pores lock moisture and also contract the size of the pores so that atmospheric dirt does not much affect your skin. The properties of honey itself help to clear up acne because tapping increases blood circulation which clears blemishes, heals wounds, and reduces puffiness.

Best Honey for Honey Tapping

Manuka honey (Raw Honey) is the best honey for honey tapping. Raw honey has the most health and medical benefits. Honey that is available in the grocery store is pasteurized, honey. Pasteurized honey is the which you prepare after burning the raw honey to improve its texture and color and it also removes the crystallizations in the honey.

This honey also has lots of benefits but some of its nutrients vanished in this process though it extends its shelf life. So if you are interested in raw honey then I might suggest that you must check some procedures so that you can get all the benefits of the honey.

Raw honey varies in nutrients based on the origin but one tablespoon of honey mostly contains a smaller amount of micronutrients which are following

• Calcium 
• Magnesium
• Manganese 
• Niacin
• Pantothenic acid 
• Phosphorus
• Potassium
• Riboflavin
• Zinc

On top of these nutrients, raw honey also contains amino acids, enzymes, and other beneficial compounds. 

You just need to be more attentive when you go to purchase honey. In the grocery store there are mentions on the honey bottle like natural, organic, and pure so try to look specifically raw label.

You mostly found it at the farmer's market. It is also really hard to store the raw honey as it contains some enzymes that quickly react with atmospheric temperature and sugar crystal form in it so you need to heat it on a low flame to melt those crystals but be careful in this process you don’t need to burn the honey in this otherwise the color of the honey gets darker. 

So try to store the honey in an airtight container and away from light and high temperatures. Honey doesn’t mostly but carefully keep it. If you feel that honey changes its color drastically and it also gives a smell then throw it away. 

So if you feel one of the changes in your honey then don’t use it on your skin because it means it loses its all nutrients and now it will react with your skin and harm your face or the wound on which you use it. So the collection of manuka honey is the best thing in your skincare product to get glowing and firm skin.
