✅ Beneficios Principales
📋 Cómo Usar
Give 1-2 tsp raw honey at bedtime for children over 1. Can mix with warm water or lemon.
⚠️ Seguridad y Precauciones
NEVER give honey to children under 1 year (botulism risk). Use raw, unprocessed honey.
☠️ Riesgo de Toxicidad y Sobredosis
NEVER give honey to children under 1 year — infant botulism from Clostridium botulinum spores can be fatal. For children over 1, honey is very safe. Excessive consumption contributes to dental cavities and weight gain. Unprocessed honey may rarely contain grayanotoxins causing dizziness and weakness.
