Buckwheat honey is a natural substance made by honey bees, it is not a synthetic drug made in a chemical plant. Buckwheat honey is a dark honey with compounds, which differ from common clover honey. Scientific research has been published on the health effects of buckwheat honey, but because it is not a drug, federal law requires us to state: (1) The FDA has not evaluated the health claims of buckwheat honey. (2) This product is not intended to "diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease," because only a drug can legally make such a claim.
