This is more than just honey, it's an electuary which is a potent blend of herbs usually mixed in honey, syrup, or other sweet substance.
NOTE that a little goes a very long way!

This Adaptogenic Local Honey is formulated to balance and soothe the nervous system with traditional adaptogenics + nervines. 

This is a sweet calming treat.

Electuaries date back to ancient Arab culture. Maswijah al-Marindi, who died in AD 1015, studied medicine and philosophy in Baghdad. He created what’s known as the gem electuary. The exotic electuary combined sapphires, emeralds, garnets and amber together with pearls, red coral, ivory and musk along with a range of herbal ingredients! Maswijah al-Marindi wrote many medicinal texts, but it was his materia medica, Grabadin, that became quite popular during the middle ages and was one of the first medical texts printed in Venice in 1471.

The list of ingredients evolved, using different herbs in each season. The electuary was popular on its own but also used in combination with other herbal preparations, right through to the mid-eighteenth century. 

During the Middle Ages, electuaries made up the majority of pharmacological remedies. They were often used as the first treatment for illness and helped patients keep up their strength during a long illness.

After many years of effective use throughout the Middle Ages, electuaries fell out of favor in the early 20th century with advancements in modern medicine.
