Honey is a sweet, viscous food
substance made by honey bees and some related i
nsects. Bees produce honey from
the sugary secretions of plants or from secretions of other insects, by
regurgitation, enzymatic activity, and water evaporation. Bees store honey in
wax structures called honeycombs.
Honey does not pose a risk either to
the pregnant woman or to her unborn baby, so if you enjoy the taste of honey in
your tea, to sweeten up baking dishes, or even as an all-natural way to soothe
a sore throat, you can safely indulge in honey during pregnancy.

Soothes ulcer
