We don't use honey for much more than sweetening our tea. However, it's another one of those super-versatile household ingredients. We wouldn't recommend cleaning with it, but you might want to put an extra jar in your medicine cabinet.
Growing up, mom always made us hot lemon and honey when we had a cough or sore throat and we'd read before that honey has some healing properties, but we had no idea how many possible ways it could be applied.
But Life Hackery has put together a list of 15 unconventional uses for honey. Pretty interesting.
Because a lot of these examples are medical, we'd definitely recommend consulting a doctor before swapping any of your medicines for honey (especially if you have a serious condition).
Do you use honey for anything other than tea?

How to Cook Moist & Tender Chicken Breasts Every Time

honey does have mild antibacterial properties. it is a sweet way to cure mouth ulcers :-)
a glass of warm water with a spoonful of honey and a little lemon juice in it flushes out toxins if taken on empty stomach in the morning. this is also a cure for soar throats.
i have heard it is good as a moisturizer. but when i tried it out, my skin tingled and i haven't used it again.
My mom's cough syrup was honey, lemon juice, and scotch whiskey.
I remember being quite young, and asking her to make that cough syrup for me, 'coz it was so-o-o good. :) She'd sit me on the kitchen cabinet, and feed it to me in a teaspoon.
Please, no comments about my mother. I'm not an alcoholic, and I'm quite healthy. ;)
I am allergic to honey, so is my mom and a first cousin. No one else in the family has the allergy. I have never heard about anyone else being allergic to honey. I do so much like the taste of honey, besides the fact that it has so many other uses/advantages. But every time I have tried consuming it, I have ended up with swollen lips, scratchy tongue and throat, and an upset stomach. I wonder if anyone else has ever experienced this and if they ever got over it. Still hoping to get over my allergy...
Er, on toast, in yoghurt, on porridge? I love cakes and puddings that have honey in rather than sugar. I do use it mixed with yoghurt in a face mask too.
People with allergies are sometimes advised to consume locally produced raw honey as a way of boosting their immunity to pollen. I've also used it as a hair and face mask, although it can be a pain to remove.
Manjari: are you allergic to anything else? You could be having a reaction to the pollen in the honey and not the honey itself. Have you been skin tested for allergies?
Gomushin girl, I use honey as a face mask fairly often and I find it's never it's problem at all to remove because it dissolves so readily with warm water! Strange.
