Honey – the perfect way to your Valentine’s Heart! It’s no mystery why honeyhas been considered an aphrodisiac for centuries; the very word ‘honeymoon’stems from the hope for a sweet marriage while some say honey’s romantic reputation comes from an ancient custom in which newly married couples drank mead, a fermented beverage made with honey, until the first moon of their new union. The world’s first doctor, Hippocrates prescribed honey for sexual vigour and according to an old French wives’ tale, a bee sting was like being given a shot of pure aphrodisiac. There is scientific evidence too – honeycontains boron, which may regulate hormone levels, and nitric oxide, which is released in the blood during arousal. Honey’s also a symbol of fertility and procreation in some cultures. So, what better way to seduce your loved one than to gift them the food of love? Honey Heaven’s stunning range of Organic Hungarian Honeys blended with spices and herbs that also have a reputation for lurve, offer 12 different varieties to choose from or special gift packs of three to show you really care! For genuinely different, tasty, organic and healthy honeys you need Honey Heaven.
