Quick Reference
The IRS defines medical expenses as costs paid for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or for treatments affecting any structure or function of the body. If medical honey is used as a specific treatment for a medical condition, such as wound care, it may be eligible. However, if it is used as a general health supplement or for overall wellness, it is not considered a qualified medical expense.
