description Honey is utilized not only as a nutritive product but also in health depicted traditional medicine and also substitute treatment for clinical settings ranging from wound curing to tumor treatment. This review emphasizes the capability of honey and its importance in medicinal aspects. Conventionally, honey is used in the treatment of blindness eye problem, respiratory asthma, throat contaminations, tuberculosis, dehydration, hitches, tiredness, shakiness, constipation, eczema, hepatitis, worm plague, piles, ulcers, wounds and used as healthful supplement. The components of honey have been conveyed to exercise antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antiproliferative, and antimetastatic properties. Agricultural pesticides effect with antibiotics is a challenging problem in modern collected honey that needs to be addressed. Honey consumed as medicine and their contamination may transfer serious health risks. Honey are polluted by pesticides, heavy metals, and radioactive materials. Pesticide deposits create genetic mutations of healthy cells. Assimilation of honey without significant its source and defensive effect might be challenging. Pure honey should be labeled to discover its composition, origin and strong activities that is unrestricted from pollutants. It also not functional to injuries or used for therapeutic determinations. This paper reviews the health impact and extent of honey contamination. Also discussed the different nanoparticles associated with honey and their characterization.
