The little hard worker bee has no idea how grateful humanity is to her for the opportunity to use such a huge list of healing products. Everything that a bee’s wing touches seems to be charged with positive energy and enriched with many healing properties. Since ancient times, knowing about the medicinal qualities of honey, it was fed to the weak and sick, and given to children and soldiers to strengthen their bodies. By the way, dimorphant honey is at the top in terms of medicinal properties.
Beneficial effects of bee products
Later, the use of other bee products began, and they became especially popular in medicine. For example, pollen not only helps strengthen the immune system, but also restores the functioning of the cardiovascular system. Beebread, flower pollen preserved in honeycombs, is the best remedy for combating anemia. Wax and propolis are most often used to heal wounds and treat other types of injuries.
Interesting! Bee venom has also become a separate object for study by scientists - its use for medical purposes is called apitherapy.
Usage
A unique variety of honey is truly healing, and it is little used only because it is rare (this is due to the limited number of honey trees and their capricious flowering). Methods of using dimorphant honey:
- treatment of inflammatory processes - from cuts and purulent wounds to pimples and acne. Nectar is a strong antiseptic, therefore it effectively localizes inflammation, relieves redness and removes swelling;
- therapy for colds - honey reduces pain, accelerates sputum separation, and increases overall tone;
- strengthening of blood vessels - due to the high content of B vitamins and potassium, the use of this variety is recommended for hypertensive patients as a mild antihypertensive agent. Honey also gently cleanses the walls of blood vessels and removes harmful cholesterol;
- removal of bile, restoration and protection of the liver - you can use the product alone or in combination with other drugs (it will enhance their effect);
- normalization of the thyroid gland - iodine compounds restore the functioning of the thyroid gland;
- stabilization of the nervous system – to increase the body’s resistance to stress, you need to take honey constantly;
- strengthening the immune system - the variety contains powerful natural adaptogens, which are much more effective than synthetic ones.
The effect of honey on the human body
People have known about honey for a long time, because it is not only a very tasty and sweet product, but also a storehouse of health rich in healing qualities. Honey is rich in vitamins B and C, minerals: calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, sodium, glucose and fructose, as well as various types of proteins. The composition of the honey product may vary depending on the type of honey in front of us. The bee product exhibits antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral effects. Therefore, it is very useful for colds and viral diseases. With its help, digestion improves and immunity increases. Honey is rich in fructose, so it is recommended for patients with diabetes. The medicinal components of the bee product improve the condition of bones and teeth, saturating the body with calcium. The sedative properties of honey calm the nervous system, and the presence of iron in honey enriches the blood with hemoglobin.
Main characteristics of the variety
It has been proven that regular consumption of this type of honey has a beneficial effect on the nervous system and helps stabilize sleep in adults, pensioners and even small children over 2-3 years old.
The beneficial properties of this honey are due to a large number of active biological compounds, most of which were isolated in science for the first time
The high content of glucose and fructose in the variety has a beneficial effect on brain function. With regular use of dimorphant honey, the thought process is accelerated, and fatigue during work is reduced.
The beneficial properties of the treat are as follows:
- Reduces intoxication after alcohol intoxication.
- Like any other variety, it is effective against colds and flu.
- It can be applied to wounds to speed up their healing.
- Honey tones the central nervous system, and 50–80 grams of dimorphant honey is a boost of energy for the whole day.
Wonderful plant
Imagine, in the Far East of our Motherland there grows an unusual tree, the milky white inflorescences of which appear only under favorable conditions once every four years. Many people come from even the most remote regions to see such a miracle of nature. In addition to the eastern regions of the Russian Federation, a plant called dimorphant (aka calopanax seven-lobed, white walnut, devil's tree) also lives in Japan, Korea and some areas of China. This tree is so rare that the occurrence of it in nature is only one percent out of a hundred.
Need to know! A dimorphant is a relict (that is, one that appeared long before the emergence of humanity) tree. At the moment it is so rare that, unfortunately, it is listed in the Red Book.
Origin
Dimorphant honey is obtained by bees collecting valuable nectar from the ancient dimorphant tree. Calopanax or dimorphant is an exotic relict tree, which, due to its rarity, was listed in the Red Book. The tree blooms in mid-August, but this phenomenon is quite rare, because the chance to admire the pale lemon-colored inflorescences occurs once every 4 years. In addition to their pleasant appearance, calopanax flowers have a stunning aroma that will definitely not leave you indifferent.
The habitat of the rare tree is considered to be Japan, China, the southern coast of the Kuril Islands, and the Korean Peninsula. Calopanax is found in regions where maples, fir, and hornbeams grow.
Many tourists present during the honey harvesting process note that it is a wonderful sight that requires everyone’s attention.
Benefits of calopanax
Previously, dimorphant was valuable to humanity for its light and light wood - furniture and parquet boards were made from it for very noble and rich people - which was the reason for their widespread cutting down. Nowadays, the greatest value is provided by calopanax flowers, or more precisely, by the nectar collected from them by bees. By processing pollen and nectar taken from the delicate flowers of the “white walnut” in August (it is during this month that the rare plant blooms), the little striped workers produce a rare and medicinal product – dimorphant honey.
Description and differences
Dimorphant is an extremely rare long-lived plant listed in the Red Book. The decline in numbers was due to massive cutting down to create parquet and furniture. Areas where honey plants grow: Sakhalin, Primorye, Kunashir and Asian countries (Japan, China, Korea).
Other names for the dimorphant are calopanax seven-lobed, white walnut, devil's tree. Large groups of flowers of milky or yellow-white shades form at the ends of the shoots. The flowering period begins in the last month of summer. However, this happens only once every 3–4 years, since favorable conditions are required for flowers to bloom. In the area where it grows, this is a problem due to unstable winters.
Characteristics of white walnut nectar:
- color – amber, of different tones, from light golden to brown,
- taste – bright, sickly-sweet, with tart notes, slightly bitter,
- aroma – pronounced, pleasant, floral-woody,
- sugaring – long-term, up to 10–12 months or more,
- consistency – after collection it is liquid, slightly viscous; after sugaring, the structure resembles a cream with small grains.
The dimorphant grows in forests with plantings of trees of different species, this affects the inclusion of pollen and nectar from other honey plants. Usually there are hornbeams and maples nearby. This is reflected in the color of the bee product, which determines the range of shades. Indicators that do not change are the duration of sugaring and the transparency of the nectar.
Beneficial properties of honey from dimorphant inflorescences
Ancient miraculous recipes of Eastern sages contained a component of dimorphant honey, because the presence of drops of this product in the drug literally put the patient on his feet. Among the most important features of the miracle product are the following:
- Speaking about the composition of a rare product, it should be noted that the number of constituent components includes more than three hundred different chemical components and biologically active compounds.
- Particularly important for the human body among them is the presence of adaptogens, which have the ability to increase the body’s resistance to a wide range of harmful effects of a physical, chemical and biological nature. In terms of its healing qualities, the dimorphant bee product is sometimes compared to the “root of life” - ginseng.
- Calopanax honey also contains a number of antioxidants that help remove substances harmful to humans from the body.
- A huge amount of vitamins and microelements that have properties that enhance the immune system and have an analgesic effect. Among them, it is worth highlighting the presence of iodine and potassium compounds that are easily digestible by the human body.

Climatic conditions contribute to the high content of fructose in honey, which is especially valuable in the treatment of diabetes.
The composition of honey is very close to the composition of human blood plasma, which adds unique beneficial properties to it. Obese people, diabetics, children and pregnant women should be careful.
The presence of certain chemical elements in honey
| Day number | Number of drops | Receptions per day |
| 1 | 15 | 2 |
| 2 | 20 | 2 |
| 3 | 25 | 2 |
| 42920 | 30 | 2 |
| 8, etc. (3-4 months) | 30 | 3 |
Attention! The content of useful substances in honey is so harmoniously suitable for people that even researchers were surprised to find a coincidence of 22 components of human blood with 24 components of the bee product.
Composition and calorie content
The chemical composition of dimorphant honey depends on the following factors: area of growth, diversity of honey plants nearby, and the proportion of pollen from other plants. However, it was possible to identify general patterns:
- carbohydrates – 78–82% (the proportion of fructose exceeds the glucose content, as indicated by prolonged crystallization);
- humidity – 16–19%;
- protein elements, amino acid profile, enzymes and dextrins – 1–1.5%;
- antioxidants, vitamins – tocopherols, groups B and K, ascorbic acid, niacin;
- micronutrients – increased content of iodine, potassium, sodium, zinc, phosphorus, and other elements are present;
- adaptogens are substances that increase the body’s resistance to external influences and improve metabolic processes in cells.
The strength and influence of adaptogens are on par with the effect of substances from the medicinal plant - ginseng. The chemical composition of the bee product is similar to human blood plasma, which improves the absorption of nectar by the body and gives dimorphant honey its healing properties.
Calorie content is 320–323 kcal per 100 grams - this is the average for beekeeping products. Contents in spoons: teaspoon – 36–38 kcal, tablespoon – 110–114 kcal.
Differences between dimorphant honey and other varieties
