Clover honey is a food that is sweet and delicious and many people enjoy spreading it on toast or a bagel, by itself, mixed with tea or in cooking. Clover honey also has many health benefits, especially for those convalescing from illness because it has an anti-bacterial and germ-reducing effect.

Wound Recovery

Clover honey is an excellent food when recovering from a wound. Clover honey acts as an anti-inflammatory for slow-healing wounds. Clover honey is loaded with vitamin C and also has traces of iron, copper and potassium, which help the body heal from an injury.

Blood Pressure

Clover honey can help lower blood pressure. Taking a glass of tea everyday with 1-2 tsp of honey can lower blood pressure and relieve stress. While this will not fix a high blood-pressure diagnosis, it can help to normalize blood pressure when the patient remains under a doctor's care, takes prescribed blood pressure medication, exercises and eats correctly.

Liver Disease

People with liver problems have benefited from having 1 to 2 tsp of clover honey on a daily basis. It has been particularly effective at reducing the growth of tumors in the liver. It also has a stimulating effect on the stomach and bowel activities.
