Quick Answer
What are the benefits of mad honey?
Traditional uses include cardiovascular support, hypertension management, mild sedation, and gastrointestinal relief. Modern clinical evidence is limited but animal and pharmacological research confirms grayanotoxin's vasodilatory and sodium-channel-modulating effects. Mad honey is not FDA-approved for any indication; traditional use does not equal clinical efficacy.
