Real Mad Honey – 50 grams
Real Mad Honey is no ordinary honey. This exceptional wild honey is harvested in the Himalayan region of Nepal, where bees collect nectar from flowering rhododendrons, among other sources. This gives the honey its deep color, robust flavor profile, and distinctive bitter aftertaste.
The harvest takes place in high-altitude mountainous regions. The honey is processed as naturally as possible: without artificial additives, colorants, or unnecessary processing. Each harvest is a natural product and may therefore vary in color, aroma, flavor, and composition.
Effects
The name “Mad Honey” comes from the honey’s effects. Real Mad Honey contains grayanotoxin, which is derived from specific rhododendrons. Mad honey is traditionally used as an aphrodisiac, to treat high blood pressure, and for digestive problems. Here’s roughly how it works: Grayanotoxins act on sodium ion channels and muscarinic receptors. These are the same receptors involved when ingesting the poisonous fly agaric mushroom. These substances can cause the following effects:
- A relaxed feeling,
- A sense of excitement,
- Soft focus of the field of view,
- Sometimes auditory and visual hallucinations.
The effects can vary greatly from person to person. The potency of the honey can also vary from harvest to harvest, which is reflected in the intensity of the effects.
Please be aware that mad honey can cause the following physical effects: lowered blood pressure, changes in heart rhythm, dizziness, sweating, headaches, and difficulty standing.

About Mad Honey
Mad Honey gets its name from the natural compounds that can be found in the nectar of certain rhododendron species. When bees collect this nectar, grayanotoxins can end up in the honey. The amount varies: the season, region, flowers, and harvest all influence the final composition.
This honey has a long cultural history in the mountainous regions of Nepal and around the Black Sea. However, it is important not to compare it to ordinary table honey or flower honey.
Use and Safety
There is no reliable standard dosage for Mad Honey. The concentration of grayanotoxins can vary from jar to jar and from harvest to harvest.
Mad Honey can cause symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, sweating, blurred vision, weakness, low blood pressure, or changes in heart rhythm (especially if taken in excessive amounts). Do not use it if you have heart or vascular problems, low blood pressure, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, and do not combine it with alcohol, drugs, or medication without consulting a doctor or pharmacist.
If you experience any symptoms after taking this medication, contact a doctor or the after-hours medical service immediately.
Dosage
A teaspoon of mad honey is a typical dose. Two teaspoons is a more recreational dose. The more you take, the more noticeable the adverse side effects become. Be careful, because if you take too much, it can make you quite sick.
