Accompany us as we explore the Himalayan cliffs, where our mad honey, also known as Himalayan Cliff Honey, is gathered by the Gurung laborers of Nepal. The medicinal nectar contains a toxin, which produces its wellness benefits, recreational effects, and hallucinogenic qualities.
Mad honey is a type of honey produced by the Himalayan giant honey bee species, also known as Apis Laboriosa. These honey bees harvest the nectar of the Rhododendron luteum. Rhododendrons grow high altitude ranges of the Himalayas and produce a specific toxin, known as grayanotoxin.
When you buy mad honey from Sherpa Honey, you are supporting the hard-working honey hunters of Nepal. They risk their lives on bamboo ladders that often extend over 100 feet in length. Amongst the Gurgung tribe, harvesting grayanotoxin honey produced by the Apis Laboriosa bee isn’t just about earning a living; it’s a way of life that has carried on for centuries.

The use of mad honey has existed since ancient times. In ancient Asian medicine, the hallucinogenic honey was used in the Nepal and Himalayan regions as a natural remedy and treatment for a variety of ailments, as well as for spiritual and ceremonial purposes.
Ancient Turkish beekeepers from the Black Sea region also have a longstanding cultural history with mad honey. Also referred to as “deli bal” in the area, it has been used traditionally in smaller quantities for medicinal purposes rather than ritualistic and ceremonial use.
Mad honey from Nepal and Turkey containing grayanotoxin is currently legal federally and in all 50 US states. As long as you are over 18 years of age, you can freely consume, purchase, and sell it anywhere in the United States without issue.
This is not to say that the FDA or individual states may not consider regulating the use of mad honey or grayanotoxin in the future. This is why it is essential to respect the product, follow the recommended dosage guidelines, and avoid abusing the product.
For international sales, many countries purchase and sell mad honey and products with grayanotoxin, with the exception of Australia, Brazil, Mexico, India, South Korea, and Spain, which have laws banning its use.
Mad honey from Nepal has been used for millennia by the Gurung, Magar, and Rai Indigenous groups both as a traditional medicine to treat conditions and as part of their community celebrations and spiritual ceremonies.
Mad honey, made from the nectar of grayanotoxin flowers, has healing powers that include boosting mood, offering neuroprotective and cognitive boosts, working as an antioxidant, providing calming and soothing, and working as an aphrodisiac by increasing blood flow.
An excessive amount of mad honey containing grayanotoxin can lead to increased hallucination and intoxicating effects; however, it is extremely important to practice a safe dosage as side effects can include vomiting, dizziness, nausea, low blood pressure, and more severe effects like loss of consciousness.
Taste is undoubtedly a factor many people consider when deciding to purchase mad honey. Most honey in the modern world is highly processed with added sweeteners and preservatives. Since our products are unprocessed, they retain their natural form and flavor, which can vary slightly from batch to batch.
Natural mad honey has a mild sweetness that is considerably less sweet than regular processed honey. It can also have a very subtle bitter flavor. Many find this flavor very natural and pleasant, especially for those who are sensitive to sweetness and prefer the natural element of real honey.
