If you feel unwell with a bad throat and a temperature you may well have caught one of the new strains of Covid circulating this autumn. The NHS recommends honey for a sore throat. Why not upgrade to Manuka honey?

Ease your Covid symptoms with Manuka honey

Honey is recommended by the NHS as first line of defence for sore throats and coughs. Here we explain how modern science is now beginning to uncover why Manuka honey should form part of your defence against Covid.

INHIBITS COVID VIRUS

Manuka honey contains MGO - Methylglyoxal, to give it its full name – the high levels of which are unique to Manuka honey. One recent lab-based study found MGO may inhibit the virus that causes Covid-19 – researchers found MGO boosted levels of powerful immune system cells to fight the virus while keeping potentially dangerous inflammation at bay.

SOOTHES RAZOR BLADE SORE THROATS

Sore throats are caused by the body’s inflammatory reaction to the Covid virus. Manuka honey’s potent anti-oxidant phenolic compounds and flavonoids have the ability to suppress inflammatory markers helping to regulate the body's immune response, preventing excessive inflammation.

HONEY VS. COUGH MEDICINE

A 2018 study published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews found that honey may be more effective than over-the-counter treatments for children’s coughs, especially in reducing cough frequency and severity. While this study wasn’t specific to Manuka honey, its findings support honey’s general effectiveness as a natural cough suppressant.

97% of our customers would choose Manuka honey over OTC medication for their cough or cold

Manuka honey offers natural soothing relief for coughs, colds and sore throats. Try 1-2 spoonfuls a day to coat the throat or stir into a warming drink with lemon and ginger.
