How Raw Organic Honey Can Help With Epilepsy

A 2019 study at Penn State University, USA, found that a small compound found in raw honey can inhibit epileptic seizures. An international team of scientists found that gluconate, found naturally in raw honey, acts as an anticonvulsant. Quercetin, found in raw organic honey, restores tryptophan levels countering the depressive effect of epilepsy. Other flavonoids also have strong anticonvulsant effects, minimising the behavioural symptoms of a seizure.
