Mad Honey

Nepalese Mad Honey, also known as Mountain or Cliff honey - 

Located on a sheer cliff wall 300 feet above the ground, reachable only by a hand-made rope ladder. The approach involves scaling with the narrowest of handholds as your feet, face, and hands suffer sting after sting from the angry bees. One lapse in concentration means certain death on the rocks below.

This is the process that certain members of the Kulung culture in eastern Nepal have followed for thousands of years to procure mad honey, the sticky, reddish fluid containing psychotropic compounds contained in the flowers of the native rhododendron trees that the bees pollinate. This honey is a staple for the local villages, highly prized for its medicinal and consciousness-expanding properties. 

And harvesting it has become a spiritual journey as much as it is a taxing, dangerous physical one.

300 ft above the ground

Nepalese Mad Honey can induce a state of calm, relaxation and mild euphoria, reducing anxiety levels and stress.

Nepalese Mountain Honey or Mad Honey

This is pure mad honey, known as “cliff honey” or पागल मह, by the locals from high in the mountains of Lamjung, Nepal.

Mad honey, a treasure from the past, has been used in traditional medicine for millennia. It was widely known throughout the ancient world but has largely been forgotten until now.

Not only is mad honey helpful in treating a number of conditions, including anxiety, stress, general pain, hypertension, stomach ailments, and migraines, but it is also renown for its stimulant properties. A small amount produces a mild, calming, euphoric sensation, which increases overall feelings of contentedness and relaxation.

Villagers in the remote, mountainous regions of eastern Nepal have eaten mad honey throughout their history, generally before breakfast, for a pleasant, quick pick-me-up that follows them throughout their day.

This product contains pure, natural ingredients. However, we require customers to verify they are at least 18 years old before purchasing.

Treat with caution - Try a small amount at first and wait for a feeling of contentedness. Do not consume more than two table spoons in any 24 hour period.

Do not drive or operate machinery after consuming.

Raw honey should not be fed to infants under 12 months old.
