Hello Hedera
Yes, I'm ashamed to say I have used Manuka honey all the way through this present illness. The shame is generated from the fact that it was only yesterday that I discovered that I had been cheerfully killing off all the active principles by using it in a boiling hot lemon and clove toddy
And at £12 a jar too
I'll be honest and say that I've not seen a lot of scientific evidence on it, but if something works for me, I'll use it anyway
, and it seems to work well on sore throats, and, I believe, on wounds.
But I use it in the home because it's the best-tasting honey I've found (not that I've tried that many).
Will start again tomorrow sipping it by the spoonful.
Thank you Hedera,
Cheers,
Andestine
