Natural solution: Manuka honey fights bacteria

class = “sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

Honey obtained from the flowers of the Manuka bush in New Zealand is considered a true natural medicine, far surpassing other types of honey in this capacity.

Prevents stomach ulcers

For example, research conducted at the University of Waikato in New Zealand shows that Manuka honey is particularly effective against Heliobacter bacteria, which can be responsible for gastrointestinal problems, stomach ulcers, and even inflammation of the stomach mucosa. In the past, it has been proven to effectively combat antibiotic-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, even in diluted form.

Unlike other sweeteners, Manuka honey is even healthy for your teeth. According to scientific studies, it protects you against plaque as much as chlorhexidine, which is frequently used in mouthwashes. And of course, like other types of honey, it is also good for colds and sore throats.

Fights fungi

You can buy Manuka honey at health food stores or order it online. Stir a spoonful or two into a hot cup of tea, or add a dollop to a bowl of yoghurt or muesli.

If the topic does not seem too sticky to you, you can also use Manuka honey externally. Thanks to its antifungal effect, it is suitable, for example, for combating various fungal diseases.

Manuka honey was originally used externally by New Zealand natives to heal wounds – it is full of antiseptic and antioxidant active ingredients. (cm/gsc)
