Honey - Raw honey contains beneficial enzymes, small amounts of propolis, pollen and beeswax, which all help to boost your immune system.  Honey has been shown to help the body fight infection by stimulating the immune system.  Along with the immune boosting properties, raw honey can be healing and soothing for sore throats and coughs.  Another lesser known benefit of honey is digestive.  Honey is filled with probiotics which assist in digestion and can improve immune function.  These probiotics found in honey can also help increase the good bacteria naturally found in your stomach.  Since honey has so many beneficial properties that promote healing, it’s no surprise that it works well on cuts.  One of the main reasons for this is that honey has antibacterial properties that come from hydrogen peroxide, which is produced while bees turn nectar into honey.  (Honey should not be given to children under 12 months of age).

Rose: Rosa spp. -  Roses have long been used to touch the heart.  They are given as a sign of love.  The sweet smell that emanates, and the beauty of the flowers call out to the heart.  Roses work as a nervine while helping to unravel emotional tension.  They also function as an analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and an aphrodisiac.  Rose has historically been used to promote tissue repair and is a known astringent.  Roses are also edible.
