About Me, The Author of Benefits of Honey

Hello, I am the author of this website Benefits of Honey, and my name is Ruth. I have always focused on adding more and more quality contents to my visitors in a personal tone as my primary objective. Reaching out and writing to my readers in first person as far as possible, I aim to share my experience and knowledge about honey in the best possible, most transparent and honest way, and eventually whether people know anything about me doesn’t matter. However, as it seems, visitors probably feel somewhat more comfortable and trusting while navigating in and out of a website when there is a real person associated with it.

So about me. I always quick to inform my visitors that I am not a medical doctor whenever they challenge me about the medicinal effects of honey. Frankly, though the beneficial effects of honey and bee products are often being extolled, scientific knowledge related to them is only slowly being built up and many medical doctors still tend to frown upon whenever their patients suggest utilizing honey as a home remedy. Despite all the medical disclaimers, I am totally convinced that: Superb in nutritional value, honey is a real wonder from nature. For centuries, generations after generations from diverse cultures have used it as a folk remedy for many illnesses and found it to be an effective health and energy booster.

The greatest differentiator of Benefits of Honey is that it doesn’t bombard or load its visitors with difficult to grasp and confusing terms and jargons about honey. Actually the fact about me is, I am not a beekeeper or an expert in beekeeping; and never have I ever called myself a honey connoisseur or an authority in honey. I just love to write and share about my experience and encounters with honey as a layman, a honey consumer, a honey enthusiast, in hope that a lot more people, especially in this part of the world where I live – Asia will come to know and begin to marvel at what this humble natural sweetener can do, savor each nuance and flavor of honey as one would do to search the rare and sublime personalities for wines to satisfy the palate, and agree with me that the journey of exploring and discovering the versatility of honey in health , beauty , cooking and baking is not just rewarding, but can be very addictive and inspiring.

And how do I acquire my "honey know-how"? I am passionately about reading and constantly learning, sniffing for new ideas and claims about honey to verify, continually explore the different honey floral varieties that are available, talk to people who are willing to share about their experience and thoughts about honey and honeybee products, use honey as a home remedy for my family and myself for ailments such as throat infection, indigestion, etc, keep myself informed of new books on honey and health related subjects, make stops at honeystands to scout out new honey bee products, talk with honey salespeople to gain new insights, make friends with visitors to Benefits-of-Honey worldwide and have exchanges of knowledge (this is one of the most pleasurable thing to do...) and allow myself to experiment with different honey varieties in my kitichen to concoct new honey recipes that my husband and kids might like.

Born and bred in Singapore, a tiny prosperous and peaceful island in Southeast Asia, I write and speak English and Chinese. I am married to a business IT expert and we have two adorable daughters. In my free time, I also occasionally blog to exert my philosophical tendencies and articulate some my innermost thoughts related to paradoxes and ironies in life. And I find therapeutic doing this.

Dedicated to all honey fans and lovers in this world, Benefits of Honey strives to become an exceptional, quality honey, health and nutrition resource in the World Wide Web by continually and actively generating valuable insights related to honey.

And here’s wishing you all

“Good Health Always.”
