Why Honey and Lemon Work Together

Raw honey coats the throat and provides antimicrobial benefits, while lemon supplies vitamin C and bright flavor. Together they soothe, hydrate, and support immunity. For even more relief, add a spoonful of royal jelly as described in How to Use Royal Jelly Daily for Health Benefits.
