Wouldn’t you love to try something sweet and good for you? Manuka honey may well be that product! For decades, this special honey made from the flowers of the tea tree has been used in New Zealand to treat many different types of health conditions, especially conditions of the digestive tract. Now, the healing ability of this natural healing source is becoming known around the world as natural alternatives are preferred over pharmaceuticals.
Acid reflux disease, heartburn, and indigestion are stomach-related conditions that can be cured with Manuka honey. Manuka honey is a natural antibacterial agent that has absolutely no known side effects when used medicinally. It also won’t conflict with medication a person may be taking to treat the condition. It works by coating the stomach and esophagus and healing the damaged tissue and lining caused by acid reflux disease…and has four times the antibacterial effect of other antiseptics. It also helps revive natural cultures of good bacteria in the stomach that are necessary for normal function. This aids digestion and stimulates the immune system.
If you take 1 teaspoon of Manuka Honey UMF 16, 3 – 4 times a day, 20-30 minutes before meals and before bedtime. If you don’t want to take it orally with a spoon, you can also take it with toast or fruit. I myself prefer it mixed in my tea! This prevents the Manuka honey from dissolving in the bloodstream too quickly before reaching the stomach. Continue this regimen for 3 months or until symptoms subside. Results should occur within 3-6 days.
If the cause of a stomach ulcer is determined to be H. pylori bacteria, Manuka honey can be used to treat it. Its powerful antibacterial properties eliminate infectious bacteria and immediately begin to heal the inner lining of the stomach just by taking 3 teaspoons of UMF 16 per day before meals and at bedtime, preferably with toast or a cracker. At first you may experience a slight burning sensation. This should stop within 2-3 days and the natural antibacterial properties should kick in.
