Mad honey is a potent, wild honey made by bees that feed on Rhododendron plant nectar containing a natural neurotoxin called Grayanotoxin.
When taken in large quantities these neurotoxins lead to euphoria, dizziness and hallucinations but in moderation the honey holds health benefits for the body.
Mad Honey from Nepal has the most potency of Grayanotoxins as it is found in the Himalayan regions of Nepal compared to those found in Turkey and a few parts of the Black Sea region.
This honey is collected from regions where bees build their hives and collect nectar from the rhododendron flowers and doing so Grayanotoxin is collected along the nectar.
