MUMBAI: Bees swallow, digest, and regurgitate nectar to make honey; this nectar contains almost 600 compounds.

And it has amazing health benefits! 

Not only is it a great immunity booster but also helps aid weight loss when mixed with lime and hot water or used as a sweetener with green tea. It also aids skin health by fighting acne, and treats wrinkles and dry skin among a host of other things.

So if you’re looking at getting great skin like your favourite television celebrity, you don't need to break your piggy: honey is money!

Gaurav Chopra shared, ‘70 percent of the honey we have is unadulterated. I am someone who does not consume sugar anymore, and wherever I need sweetness, I get it directly from Coorg. So be it lemonade or cakes, honey is my go-to when it comes to consuming sweet.’
