A
What if we told you there's one single item that you can store on your shelf that works as a food source? A wound treatment, a trade currency, a sleep aid, even a fire starter. And it never expires. Not in 10 years, not in 100 years, not ever. That item is honey. And today we're giving you 15 ways it can earn its place in every prepper's stockpile. Some of these you've probably heard before, but a few of them may surprise you.
- [00:41]
B
Welcome to practical prepping. This is episode 548. And this is the prepping podcast with no bunkers, no zombies, and no alien invasions. Just practical prepping, where we teach everyday people how to prepare for life's emergencies, disasters and crises. And we're here to help you get prepared. I'm Krista.
- [01:05]
A
And I'm Mark. If you'd like the show notes from today's episode, go to practicalprepping.info 5, 4, 8. Now, let's talk about 15 prepper uses for honey that you should know.
- [01:20]
B
I know you've done quite a bit of research on this.
- [01:22]
A
We did a lot of research on this, and I learned a lot.
- [01:26]
B
I learned a lot as well.
- [01:27]
A
Some of the things that we're going to talk about today are medical uses, and for that, we really need Manuka honey. That's medical grade. Now, that's ideal. But any raw honey works in an emergency.
- [01:42]
B
Okay, so you're talking about, for medical reasons, don't use the processed grocery store honey, but actual medical grade Manuka honey.
- [01:50]
A
Yeah, the grocery store honey is good for putting on your biscuit.
- [01:53]
B
Okay?
- [01:53]
A
Sweetening your tea. But for medical issues, we need raw honey or we need the Manuka honey. Now, when you're looking at Manuka honey, you're going to notice a couple of acronyms on there. One is the UMF and the other is the mgo. And I can tell you that UMF is the unique Manuka factor. But I don't really remember what the MGO stands for.
- [02:23]
B
I can tell you. I can tell you. I'm raising my hand.
- [02:25]
A
Okay, raise your hand.
- [02:26]
B
Methylglyoxal content.
- [02:28]
A
Ah, methylglyoxyl.
- [02:29]
B
And you'll get to that in just a moment. Jump back there to UMF.
- [02:32]
A
It's really a quality grading system. It measures the MGO and other components. And the common ratings in UMF are 5 plus 10 plus 15 plus 20 plus. Those kinds of numbers. But the higher the number, the stronger the antibacterial activity.
- [02:54]
B
Well, then the next one you mentioned, and I was, I guess the Answer was the methylglyoxal content. That's mgo and it's measured this way in 100 plus, 250 plus or 500
- [03:05]
A
plus or even more.
- [03:07]
B
Okay. So the higher the number that indicates more antibacterial strength. And so the recommended strength for prepper use would be a UMF of 15 plus and an MGO of 500 plus. That would be the best all around choice.
- [03:22]
A
That's kind of the happy medium right there. Now you can buy some 1200 plus but you're going to need 60 month financing for it probably. I mean that's getting expensive.
- [03:33]
B
Now where can we find Manuka honey?
- [03:35]
A
You can find it in a number of places, but we put a link in the show notes for the Manuka Honey. If you want to go and look at that. We've got the one that we're recommending here with the UMF of 15 and the MGO of 500 plus. I think it's like 521 in there but super. So there's a liquid that seems like to be the most cost effective of all of the ones that are listed in there.
- [04:03]
B
Very cool.
- [04:04]
A
Now be careful of knockoffs. This is almost like we talked about the knockoff tourniquets the other day, right. There's some of these things that are cheap. They may be Manuka honey but they're not strong at all.
- [04:17]
B
Well then should we be looking for some kind of organic certification?
- [04:21]
A
Just look for the UMF 15 plus or the MGO 500 plus.
- [04:26]
B
Okay.
- [04:27]
A
And that will give it to you. But what we've put on the website, that's good stuff and that's a good thing to have on hand. Now let's get into these 15 things or reasons.
- [04:39]
B
Okay.
- [04:40]
A
One, it's an indefinite shelf life food source.
- [04:45]
B
Didn't some explorers in ancient Egypt, modern explorers actually found a container of honey in one of the pyramids and it
- [04:53]
A
was still, it was edible.
- [04:55]
B
Yeah.
- [04:55]
A
They're going to study that.
- [04:57]
B
Yeah. It's a fascinating product and it has been shelf stable for many, many years.
- [05:02]
A
Never expires, Amazing.
- [05:04]
B
Ever.
- [05:04]
A
Now if you store it in glass jars or food grade plastic with tight lids, keep it in a cool, dark, dry location. It will not ruin. It will last forever.
- [05:16]
B
Okay.
- [05:17]
A
Now one thing you can get into and you'll find this with the honey that you have in the pantry that we put on biscuits and stuff like that, if we forget one and leave it in there for a while, it will crystallize.
- [05:29]
B
Right?
- [05:29]
A
But that does not mean it's spoiled. You Just need to warm it and stir it. And I've just stuck it over in the microwave and heated it for 15, 20 seconds and then stir it up and it just rejuvenates and it's right back to what it needs to be.
- [05:46]
B
Always make sure if you're going to stir it with something that it's a very clean and dry utensil. We don't want to introduce moisture into our honey mixture.
- [05:54]
A
This is especially critical when we're talking about the medical grade honey.
- [06:00]
B
For sure.
- [06:00]
A
When we're talking about that. Because we're not going to be eating that.
- [06:04]
B
Yes.
- [06:05]
A
I don't care what we do with the jar. You know, we can do it like I do with peanut butter and eat it right out of the jar with a spoon.
- [06:10]
B
Sure.
- [06:11]
A
But did you know that one quart of honey contains roughly 4,600 calories?
- [06:17]
B
Well, I mean, it is sweet and it is delicious. So, no, I'm not at all surprised it would have that calorie content.
- [06:23]
A
And it takes no refrigeration.
- [06:25]
B
Right.
- [06:26]
A
No rotation.
- [06:27]
B
Gotcha.
- [06:27]
A
And no special treatment.
- [06:29]
B
It's just amazing. It's an incredible food source, which is another reason why we need to protect our honeybees on this planet. That's also kind of an aside that I'm throwing in that we want to make sure that we're growing gardens with flowers and plenty of pollination opportunities and supporting our local honey producers as well.
- [06:48]
A
Yes. And that's going to come in here in a minute. There's a huge clover patch in the backyard. And there's been a few years that I have cut around that clover patch to leave the bees. The clover.
- [07:01]
B
There you go.
- [07:02]
A
We're good for each other.
- [07:03]
B
You can also use honey for wound treatment and as an antiseptic. And the reason for that being antibacterial. It has a low pH. It actually has a way of producing its own hydrogen peroxide. And the high sugar concentration all make it very antiseptic and proper to use on skin or wounded skin. Make sure that you clean any wounds with water first and then you can apply a generous layer of raw honey and then cover that with a bandage.
- [07:32]
A
Now, this is where if you're using it for medical. If you don't have the manuka, you can use the raw honey right now. Raw honey, local honey. And we're going to talk about local here in a minute. But you can pick this up at the farmer's market.
- [07:49]
B
I see a lot of farmers markets,
- [07:51]
A
a lot of places like your co
- [07:53]
B
op stores, some of the Specialty higher end grocery stores even source local suppliers for honey.
- [07:59]
A
And even if it's not local, just so it's raw as far as wound care, but it does create a barrier against the outside contaminants while it's still actively killing the bacteria.
- [08:13]
B
Fantastic.
- [08:14]
A
And honey's high osmolarity, well, that's a big word. I practiced that word.
- [08:19]
B
What is osmolarity?
- [08:21]
A
Well, osmolarity draws the water out of the bacterial cells and it dehydrates the bacteria.
- [08:29]
B
I see. It's like a transfer of moisture.
- [08:32]
A
Exactly. It's osmosis.
- [08:34]
B
I got you.
- [08:35]
A
That's what it is.
- [08:36]
B
You know, glucose oxidase is an enzyme that produces hydrogen peroxide and honey at very gentle but extremely effective levels. But if you're changing wounds and if you're dressing an open wound, you want to change that dressing and reapply new honey at least once daily.
- [08:53]
A
This information has been validated in peer reviewed medical literature. This is not folk medicine. Even though it was used by the folks in folk medicine.
- [09:05]
B
Well, I'm sure hundreds of years ago it was folk medicine. But what you're saying is it has received modern attention.
- [09:10]
A
It has.
- [09:11]
B
And they've actually tested it.
- [09:12]
A
It has.
- [09:13]
B
And so there's been some peer review
- [09:15]
A
and believe it or not, they'll use it in the hospital. Well, how about for certain things? Another thing that we can do with it under the medical type uses for honey is burn care.
- [09:27]
B
Absolutely.
- [09:28]
A
It creates that moist healing environment and that reduces inflammation and it minimizes scarring.
- [09:35]
B
Well, like we said too, again, Manuka is going to be your ideal medical grade honey. But in an emergency, any raw honey
- [09:42]
A
will work like other things. You want to cool the burn with clean water for 10 minutes. You want to get it as cool as you can. You want to apply a thick layer like you would a burn cream, cover it loosely with a non stick bandage and that seals the nerve endings from air exposure and that reduces pain on contact. Great.
- [10:06]
B
That also reduces swelling like edema and it promotes some new tissue growth. Clinical studies have shown that there's faster healing and lower infection using honey than using conventional dressings. And that could be the difference between a manageable injury and a possible life threatening infection without grid access. For example, if you're out and away and you may be days, weeks away from proper medical care, have that medical grade honey with you. It could very well save your life.
- [10:36]
A
Another good use for it is sore throat and cough remedy.
- [10:39]
B
This I know because I have actually woke up in the middle of the night with A terrible cough. And I've gone into the kitchen and poured me a spoonful of honey and waited for a few minutes, went back to bed, peace restored.
- [10:52]
A
It coats the throat and it suppresses the cough as well as many of the OTC cough suppressors, for sure.
- [10:59]
B
It forms a protective film over irritated mucous membranes that in your mouth and throat can be so painful.
- [11:06]
A
There was a 2007 Penn State study that found honey, get this, outperformed dextromethorphan in children.
- [11:16]
B
Wow, that's meaningful.
- [11:18]
A
But never give this to children under a year old due to infant botulism risk.
- [11:25]
B
Children do need to be over one year. In fact, some people feel like maybe even two years might be an even better way to go. But you can mix 1 to 2 tablespoons straight or in warm water. And if that would be easier for someone to take it that way, you can even enhance your honey with some lemon juice for a little extra kick of vitamin C. Or you can even throw some crushed garlic in there. I know it's not a taste thing. It's an antimicrobial, microbial type of boost. Honey helps to at least mask some of the strong garlic flavor.
- [11:55]
A
And they work together. This gives you an unlimited supply of cough medicine as long as the honey stores last.
- [12:04]
B
Absolutely. Next up on the list is honey is a fantastic energy booster. You know, a lot of athletes will have honey on hand to give them a start to their training or their practice or the actual play or during the actual playing of the game. So sometimes athletes will hit the honey, as it were. It's a very dense source of glucose and fructose. It absorbs rapidly with minimal digestive effort. And 1 tablespoon of honey is around 64 calories and 17 grams of carbs. And it's ideal for.
- [12:37]
A
And that's a tablespoon, that's not a teaspoon. So we're getting double the.
- [12:41]
B
I understand it's very ideal before or during strenuous activity like hiking or chopping wood. Or you might be on foot bugging out. You never know. And the reason being it contains some trace vitamins and minerals and it has antioxidants, unlike the refined sugars that do not.
- [12:58]
A
And it's used by those long distance athletes, particularly because it is a natural energy gel alternative.
- [13:06]
B
Yeah, you can again mix a few tablespoons into water for a simple energy drink or just take it straight right off the spoon. One of the most effective quick fuel options, when caloric intake is uncertain, is a couple of spoons of honey. It'll never fail you.
- [13:21]
A
Now, today's cup of coffee comes from Gloria.
- [13:24]
B
Thank you, Gloria.
- [13:25]
A
Gloria is a longtime supporter of the podcast, and, Gloria, we really do appreciate your support. Please go to practicalprepping.info support, where you'll find ways that you, too, can support the show, including a coffee membership. And that's only $5 a month, but it really helps us to offset the expenses of the show.
- [13:50]
B
Something that I learned about honey that I never knew before is that it is used as a natural preservative. You know, extremely low water activity can deprive microorganisms of moisture to survive, which is why honey is a great preservative, because it's very low in that moisture,
- [14:05]
A
and it's been used for centuries that way as a natural preservative. And it was historically used to preserve fruit, ginger, herbs, even animal carcasses.
- [14:16]
B
You know, dried fruits and nuts in honey actually mixed together does make a very calorie, dense trail food. You can even store garlic or ginger or even turmeric in honey for infused food and medicine combinations. And think about this. You can even take very dry citrus peels, your orange, your lemon, grapefruit, you can actually candy those in honey, and it gives you that extra boost of vitamin C in those types of treats because you can actually eat candied fruit peels. Now, the key rule to that is whatever you are submerging needs to be very low moisture or thoroughly dried first.
- [14:56]
A
Now, here's where the local honey comes in. And this is allergy relief. I've heard this for years, and I've heard this for years, and most of you have, too. But local honey, raw honey may reduce seasonal allergies through gradual pollen exposure. And that's because the bees are coming to your house to get the pollen.
- [15:19]
B
Right.
- [15:19]
A
So they're making it out of what is available in the area.
- [15:24]
B
Exactly.
- [15:25]
A
If you live in an area that has zero clover, then clover honey is not going to do you any good as far as the like for the allergy. Exactly.
- [15:34]
B
You got to go with what's local in your area.
- [15:37]
A
But raw honey contains trace pollen that triggers local allergic reactions. But this helps you build up an immunity to that by using small doses, similar to what the immunotherapy would do.
- [15:54]
B
There are some scientific studies out there, though, that are a little bit mixed, but most people are reporting some subjective improvement when they begin to ingest small amounts of local honey, and they increase over time. Now, it needs to be raw and unfiltered and local in order to Work. So start with a teaspoon per day for several months before allergy season. Some folks even think maybe starting it around Thanksgiving like in the United States, because it's kind of past the pollen season. And then by March, April, May, you will have built up a goodly amount of resistance and the anti inflammatory properties will really help you with sinus irritation, even if your direct allergy effect is a little bit modest.
- [16:36]
A
Honey can also be used for barter and trade currency.
- [16:40]
B
Well, you know, at this point it sounds like it's worth a million dollars.
- [16:44]
A
It's right there with gold.
- [16:46]
B
Right.
- [16:47]
A
But it's an extremely valuable trade commodity in a prolonged grid down scenario.
- [16:53]
B
You know, one of the reasons why is that worldwide honey is recognized. It's a desirable product. Everyone knows what it is and everyone knows how you get it.
- [17:03]
A
And so that everybody knows it serves multiple functions.
- [17:06]
B
Right.
- [17:08]
A
Food, medicine, preservation. It does not spoil, it's easily divisible.
- [17:14]
B
Oh, that's right, you can parse it out.
- [17:16]
A
You can parse it out. I'll trade you five tablespoons of honey for that chicken, you know, something like that. So it's easy to parse out.
- [17:24]
B
But you know, you have to have some hives, either natural hives or farmer hives in order to get some honey.
- [17:31]
A
Yeah, or buy it at the farmer's market. Well, true, and it's a good place to stock up on raw local.
- [17:38]
B
Yeah, our, our son in law actually raised bees and he purchased his own extractor in order to get his own honey. And it's good honey too.
- [17:45]
A
But one jar could be traded for ammo or antibiotics, tools or other critical supplies that you might need.
- [17:53]
B
So I'm saying you need to store more than you'd personally need and do that specifically for trade. Now see, this is the beautiful thing about hunting. As we've already established. You can buy some 8 ounce, 12 ounce, 16 ounce jars of it and put it in your prepper storage and forget about it because it won't go right.
- [18:09]
A
You just dust it off when you
- [18:11]
B
need it, warm it if necessary.
- [18:13]
A
Another thing, and some of our listeners will appreciate this, some of them already know, is that honey can be used as fermentation for mead.
- [18:24]
B
Right. Mead is an antiquated, alcoholic, fermented beverage. It's honey plus water, plus yeast and that will make mead. It's been known for many, many centuries. Let's just be honest. Alcohol can serve as a morale booster. It can be a trade item, it can be a disinfectant, it can be
- [18:42]
A
a tincture base and you can take the mead and you can distill that and make it further into distilled spirits.
- [18:51]
B
Okay, I see.
- [18:52]
A
You can do that.
- [18:53]
B
I see what you're saying.
- [18:54]
A
But the basic recipe is three to four pounds of honey per gallon of water plus yeast.
- [19:00]
B
Okay.
- [19:00]
A
Wild yeast in the honey can start spontaneous fermentation, but it's less predictable. You get a lot more predictability if you go ahead and add some yeast in that.
- [19:13]
B
I see. But it's like you said, it can be distilled even further to produce spirits that are useful in disinfecting wounds and to extract for tinctures. We have a lot of folks in the prepper group that are into natural remedies, oils and tinctures. And this is great because this is earth wisdom and it's natural medicine, and it's been around for thousands of years and it still does a good job.
- [19:36]
A
So store some extra packets of yeast and learn how to cultivate wild yeast as a backup. That's something that you can do if you're interested in producing meat.
- [19:49]
B
One of the next things that I learned and didn't know about honey is its property as a digestive aid because it possesses prebiotics, which we all know will support beneficial gut bacteria like your Lactobacillus and your Bifidobacterium.
- [20:04]
A
I'm glad you said those words.
- [20:07]
B
I probably said it wrong, but that's the way I say it. But those are especially important when your diet might be limited and your stress level may be high. Now, another thing is honey has been studied for its ability to combat H. Pylori, that is a bacterium that causes most stomach ulcers. And I am personally acquainted with this little bad guy here because 25 years ago, I had an H. Pylori infection in my duodenum. So I had a duodenal ulcer. And let me tell you something, it was uncomfortable. I had to get treatment for it. Did not know at the time I probably could have had some raw medical grade honey and I would have been fine, but I didn't know. But a tablespoon of honey can coat your esophagus and it can reduce acid reflux burning. You know, a lot of folks are taking medicines for that.
- [20:55]
A
Raising my hand.
- [20:56]
B
Maybe we should be hitting the honey instead of the OTCs on that.
- [21:00]
A
And it can be mixed into oral rehydration solution of water and salt for mild diarrhea.
- [21:07]
B
Now, this is not a substitute for real medical treatment if your symptoms are very severe, but it can be a meaningful tool when Nothing else at all is available.
- [21:17]
A
Right. Next thing some of you ladies will be interested in, and the men, too. Well, honey can be used as skin care and moisturizer.
- [21:27]
B
Perfect.
- [21:28]
A
It's got a natural humectant that draws moisture from the air into skin and locks it in.
- [21:34]
B
That's cool.
- [21:35]
A
And skin integrity matters more than most folks realize.
- [21:39]
B
I think so.
- [21:40]
A
Cracks create entry points for infection.
- [21:43]
B
You know, our skin is our largest organ, and if it's wounded, we can be in trouble. So you want to apply a thin layer before bedtime and cover that with cloth. Or if it's on your hands, put on some gloves and let it work overnight. You can even mix honey with some rendered animal fat, something like beef tallow, or perhaps some plant oils for a simple antibacterial salve. And let me just interject here. If you're using certain oils, make sure that you're using either a carrier oil or be aware that you don't have to have one. Sometimes you need coconut oil as a carrier oil instead of putting some oil straight on your skin.
- [22:22]
A
Yeah, this would mix well with the coconut oil for this purpose, but a small dab usually works as well as a commercial lip balm for chapped lips.
- [22:32]
B
Okay, good to know. You can even use it as a cleaning face wash. You can apply it to your damp skin and then wait 15 minutes. That's the hard part. And then just rinse it off. And it will remove dirt, it'll remove bacteria, and it will moisturize because it won't strip your skin of its natural moisture, but it will cleanse the skin of those irritating dirt particles and bacteria particles.
- [22:55]
A
Now, here's one you might really want to look at at, and that is that honey can be used as a sleep aid.
- [23:02]
B
Okay.
- [23:02]
A
A small amount before bed raises the insulin, which is why I probably won't take it to go to bed. I don't have trouble going to sleep anymore. But it allows tryptophan to reach the brain more easily.
- [23:19]
B
Well, now, tryptophan is a type of a protein, and that converts to serotonin, and then that converts into melatonin, these hormones that regulate your sleep cycle. So we're saying 1 to 2 tablespoons around 30 minutes before you're going to bed should do the trick. It also will maintain your liver glycogen overnight, and so that will prevent stress responses from low blood sugar. And it can also prevent some early morning waking caused by a spike in your cortisol. I've been doing a lot of reading about cortisol and cortisol is not your friend. It also has a natural side effect, free sleep aid in a high stress survival environment. In other words, it can just be a good cumulative. So better sleep, better quality of sleep means that you'll have better performance, you'll have a stronger immune function and that's going to boost your morale right there.
- [24:13]
A
Hold on to your hat. We did not know this. I'm betting most of you don't know this and what is it, but you can use honey as a fire starting aid.
- [24:24]
B
Did not know that.
- [24:25]
A
It's not just pouring the honey honey out there and setting it on fire. That's not what you do. It contains combustible carbon based sugars once the moisture is driven off of it. So you can coat something like a piece of cloth with it and let it evaporate.
- [24:43]
B
Oh, I see what you mean.
- [24:45]
A
Yeah. So you can spread a thin layer on cotton balls or whatever and let it dry. This is where you don't want it wet, you want the honey to dry on there.
- [24:56]
B
So I would put your cotton balls on a sheet of waxed paper and that way just be more easy to pull them up and store them once they are dry.
- [25:05]
A
But it burns slower than base material alone and it gives you more time to build a flame.
- [25:12]
B
It may not be as effective as petroleum jelly cotton, but it uses a multipurpose supply that you would already carry. So here's one product that you can have with you that can do a variety of things.
- [25:23]
A
And you can caramelize this honey in a can until it's hard and then crumble that into tender bundles and you
- [25:32]
B
can take those little crumbles and you can mix that with sawdust or some fine wood shavings for a dense, slow burning fire puck.
- [25:39]
A
Yep.
- [25:40]
B
The point is we've got to think in terms of versatility. It's not that we're saying honey is the best fire starter.
- [25:46]
A
It's not.

But if you're going to have honey with you, perhaps to bring along something that's dried honey on cotton balls that might help you.
- [25:55]
A
It's a backup.
- [25:55]
B
Yeah, absolutely.
- [25:56]
A
It's just another backup.
- [25:58]
B
I like it.

A
Continuing with the medical, we're looking at oral health maintenance.
- [26:02]
B
Interesting.
- [26:04]
A
The antibacterial properties combat the harmful oral bacteria. Even though it's sweet.
- [26:10]
B
Well, that's because it produces a type of hydrogen peroxide. And that methylglyoxal, that MgO we were talking about, that actually reduces the bacterial populations in your mouth because your mouth can be loaded with bacteria.
- [26:25]
A
Yeah. And studies show that Honey can reduce plaque formation and gingivitis in a mouth.
- [26:31]
B
Rinse well. So what you could do is get some warm water and dilute a tablespoon or two of honey in there and then swish for 30 seconds to a minute and then spit that out. Or you could actually apply some medical grade honey directly to a. A sore in your mouth or in your lip or inflamed gums. It actually helps reduce pain and it certainly will stop some infection.

A
Now, we're not giving medical advice, and this is not a perfect replacement for brushing and flossing, but it is good for meaningful bacterial control. And dental infections can become systemic and life threatening without professional care.
- [27:08]
B
Now, we're talking about applying this to wounds. You can treat infected wounds or those that are slow healing. We have some in our population who, if they receive a wound, it takes much longer for them to receive healing. And I found that those that are type 1 or type 2 diabetic fall into this category pretty easily. But putting honey on a slow healing wound is especially effective if the wound is not healing at a rapid pace on other types of medicine, because honey can attack that affection through multiple pathways and that makes the bacterial resistance more difficult.
- [27:44]
A
And it's used in modern hospitals for chronic wounds, for diabetic ulcers, for surgical infections, and even for mrsa.
- [27:54]
B
Oh, they call that mrsa.
- [27:55]
A
Mrsa.
- [27:56]
B
Yeah. So you want to clean the wound very thoroughly and you want to pack the cavity with honey, filling all of the recesses, and then cover that with a clean bandage, change that dressing at least once daily, perhaps more, and clean and repack each time. So you want to keep a dedicated honey supply set aside specifically for medical use, separate from your food stores. And this is where you really need to look into that Manuka honey. And there is a link in the show notes where you can purchase that and keep that in your prepper storage.

Did you learn something today? We did. Maybe you learned that you need to be stocking honey or in some way. Maybe you receive value from the podcast. Maybe we educated you, made you think, made you laugh, made you groan.
- [28:46]
B
Or maybe you just love my Southern chum.
- [28:48]
A
