A: The Hadith explains that Honey is Shifa'. However it will be best for you to consult a hakeem to find out which honey will be most suitable for your condition.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

عن عائشة قالت كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يحب الحلواء والعسل (سنن أبي داود # 3717)

عن عبد الله قال العسل شفاء من كل داء والقرآن شفاء لما في الصدور (مصنف لابن أبي شيبة #30643)
