Manuka honey is as miraculous as many people describe it. I have been using it internally for a while now and see excellent effect on my digestive system, gums, sleep, and subtle but noticeable improvement in the overall feeling of well-being. You can use it for therapy, in which case the rating of 250 or higher is generally recommended, or maintenance, in which case 80 or higher will do. some people mix it in tea or smoothies, but I use it on an empty stomach or 2 or more ours after the last meal to let Manuka work at its best. For me, even one half of a teaspoon on an empty stomach has a noticeable effect after just a few days. I usually let it dissolve in the mouth (takes just a couple of seconds), swoosh it around so that it can work on the gums, and then swallow. California Gold Manuka is of excellent quality, consistent from j
use to use and from jar to jar. It has a pleasant smell and texture, and I cannot praise it enough for its effect on my body --- even at the low rating of 80. I still have a jar left but will buy a few more today, so that I have some on hand at all times. Oh, I forgot to mention a topical application: having antibacterial properties, it cured a skin irritation I had. Just put it on as you would put cream or lotion; it absorbs quickly. and even a small amount seems to suffice. I have applied it twice after taking a shower, and iManuka has done its job. I am not a medical doctor and cannot therefore tell you about possible interference with drugs you may be taking or conditions you may have. Have a happy and healthy New Year!
