Therefore, honey is something which we may consider to be taken regularly. Caraka explains honey to be the best yogavāhi as it carries the properties of other medicinal herbs along with it. Similarly, Suśruta also explains the same that when honey is administered with other various preparations, it cures many diseases. This is because honey acts as a catalyst and helps to carry other medicinal herbs to deeper-targeted tissue. Honey is an appetizer and helps to improve digestion.
