Chestnut Honey Effect
It is a honey with a darker and bitter taste compared to flower honey. Chestnut honey is produced from chestnut flowers in the region with chestnut trees. Chestnut honey also varies according to its density and sharpness.

The denser the chestnut trees, the sharper the honey. The quality of Rize chestnut honey is increased by the presence of komar honey in the honey content.  Chestnut flowers that bloom close to the period when komar flowers, rhododendron (purple komar flower) bloom begin to bloom. Bees take honey from these flowers. This does not always happen. If there are excessive rains, it is not possible for the bees to get honey from these flowers.

The so-called chestnut honey heals even chronic wounds infected by bacteria that have become resistant to many antibiotics within a few weeks, say medical experts at the University of Bonn.

The healing effect of honey was rediscovered after many bacteria became resistant to antibiotics. However, experts warn that people should not self-medicate with natural honey that has not undergone special treatment. As a matter of fact, bacteria spores can be found in honey that has not been specially prepared.

Paediatricians at the Bonn University Clinic use medicinal honey to treat wounds. Dead tissue is quickly regenerated with honey treatment, and because the dressings are easily changed, the newly formed skin layers are not damaged.

Honey has an antiseptic effect. Bees add glucose oxidase enzyme while producing honey. This enzyme causes a small amount of hydrogen peroxide to be produced from the sugar in the honey.

Since the hydrogen peroxide in honey is constantly renewed, a small amount of chestnut honey is sufficient to kill the bacteria in the wounds. In addition, chestnut honey helps to clean the blood and strengthen the bones.
