Does Manuka Honey replace Antibiotics?
Maybe. With all the above listed health benefits of using pure, raw, natural, un-pasteurized manuka honey, collected from the wild tea tree bush in New Zealand (leptospermum scoparium), manuka honey may be more effective than antibiotics, especially when taken on a daily basis. Hundreds of our customers take one teaspoon of manuka honey once or twice daily to help strengthen their immune system to become more resistant to infection. Manuka Honey has been researched for over 20 years by Dr. Molan at the Waikato University in New Zealand. Dr. Molan found that manuka honey naturally destroys staph and strep, the bacteria typically associated to the common sore throat, cold and flu symptoms. An article has been published with the title: “Honey outperforms Antibiotics”. The trend, search and research for natural remedies is clearly on the rise, since antibiotics keep making headlines in the news that are becoming increasingly un-effective in treating bacteria resistant to antibiotics.
