Manuka Honey earns its place in our super food hall of fame owing to the extraordinary health benefits it gives you. Most honeys (with the exception of ‘hip hop hunnies’) are good for you, but Manuka takes the royal crown.
Here are 5 excellent reasons why you need to be grabbing yourself a jar of Manuka Honey…
1 The common cold
Skip the flu jab, Manuka honeys immune-boosting capabilities help make it a perfect pro-active solution to a really common problem. Just two to three teaspoons daily will keep those pesky winter blues in check. If you’ve already come down with a nasty virus, then a nice hot mug of water with a teaspoon of Manuka Honey will have you feeling chipper in next to no time.
An ideal alternative to regular medicines without the nasty side effects!
2 Making IBS much less Irritating!
If you suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) then I certainly won’t need to sell you on this one. Laboratory studies have verified that Manuka Honey (taken orally) can reduce colonic inflation and also defend against structural damage. And we know how important it is to have a happy colon!
3 Organic And Natural Cough Treatment
Have you noticed the number of over the counter cough syrups are honey flavoured? There’s a good reason for this, honey contains hydrogen peroxide. However, Manuka Honey works much better, not only due to its unusually high levels of hydrogen peroxide, but because it also includes several bioactive compounds that are missing from lesser honeys.
