Manuka Honey


Manuka Honey is my go to when I'm run down.
I either eat a teaspoon of it or I put a few spoonfuls in some hot water and lemon.
It supposedly has antibacterial and anti inflammatory healing properties.
It comes in a range of grades usually from 5+ to 25+ Going up in price as you go up in grades. 
The higher the grade of honey the stronger the medicinal properties are meant to be. 
I find taking a teaspoon of honey when my stomach is really inflamed helps.
I also do a lot of cooking so I'm prone to getting burnt, I usually take a little blob of honey and put it on the burn. This immediately takes away the burning sensation and relieves the pain.
I also love using it as a face mask, I again mix honey with lemon juice and apply to my face. Leaving it for about 30 minutes and then wiping off with a hot face cloth. It leaves my skin so smooth and soft, as well as calming down any spots or red patches.
I buy online direct from the retailer as they've usually got deals on.

  1. Oh I love Manuka honey too, it's very pricy but we only use it medicinally. When any of us have coughs or colds I mix some ground cinnamon with a spoonful of manuka honey for each of us. Did you know that the Romans used it on open wounds as an antiseptic? Fab stuff, much too good to waste on toast! Great tips about using it for burns, and buying direct from the retailer too, I'll check that out next time - thank you, xx

  2. Hi Lisa
    I shall try adding some cinnamon into my hot honey & lemon next time. I have a very sweet tooth so end up adding a bit more than I probably should. xx
