Honey contains a cure for mankind, based on the Almighty’s saying: (There issues from within their bodies a drink of varying colors wherein is healing for men). No details were mentioned in the Qur’an or regarding the amount of honey to be consumed or mixed in medicine, for the Qur’an and Sunnah did not come to detail medicines and their dosages. Rather, one must refer to experts in the medical field and drug specialists who rely on scientific research and studies, as medicine may not suit every illness or person. The details of treatment with honey should be referred to medical professionals and experts.
