Internal Uses for Manuka Honey

For decades, Manuka Honey has been used in New Zealand to treat many different types of health conditions. Now the curative ability of this natural healing source is becoming known worldwide as natural alternatives become preferred over pharmaceuticals.

The following information is just a few ways in which Manuka Honey can be used in addition to, or as a viable alternative, to antibiotics and other traditional forms of medicine.

Acid Reflux Disease / Heartburn / Indigestion

Medical research and anecdotal reports indicates that active Manuka Honey can be used for stomach related conditions. Manuka Honey is a natural antibacterial agent that has absolutely no known side effects when used for medicinal purposes. It also will not conflict with medication that a person may be taking to treat the condition. The way Manuka Honey works is by coating the stomach and esophagus and by healing the damaged tissue and lining caused by acid reflux disease. Manuka Honey has an antibacterial effect four times greater than other antiseptics. It also helps revive the natural cultures of good bacteria in the stomach that are necessary for normal functioning. This helps digestion and boosts the immune system.

Directions: Take 1 teaspoon of Manuka Honey UMF 16, 3-4 times per day, 20-30 minutes before meals and before bedtime. If taking orally from a spoon is not desirable, you can also take it on a piece of toast or fruit. This prevents the Manuka Honey from being dissolved into the blood stream too quickly before it gets into the stomach. Continue this regimen for 3 month or until symptoms dissipate. Results should occur within 3-6 days.

Stomach Ulcers / H. Pylori

If the cause of a stomach ulcer is determined to be the Helicobacter pylori bacterium, Manuka Honey can be used to treat it. It's powerful antibacterial properties eliminate the infectious bacteria and immediately begin to heal the inner lining of the stomach.

Gum Disease
Studies have shown that Manuka Honey can play a therapeutic role in treating gum disease and periodontal disease. It is proven to be unaffected by enzymes in the body.
