- Learn more about the health benefits of manuka honey on my website here: draxe.com/manu...
Manuka honey, produced in New Zealand by bees that pollinate the Manuka bush, is one of the most unique and beneficial forms of honey in the world. What makes Manuka honey different is its amazing nutritional profile. With Manuka honey, the nutritional content is up to 4 times that of normal flower honeys.
Historically, honey has been used for medicinal purposes dating back thousands of years. In this episode of Ancient Medicine Today, I share 10 surprising benefits of manuka honey, including how manuka honey impacts acne, oral health, the digestive system and so much more.

He’s not kidding. This stuff is worth the cost. I bought it for stomach issues- severe constant pain, unable to eat much if anything at all. Horrible constant nausea. I was already to the ER several tones and the gastrointestinal dr.’s and had some tests done- they couldn’t find anything. Ended up on expensive Carofete with best guess diagnosis of gastritis or stomach ulcers. I had been taking the Carofete for three weeks..not a whole lot of progress, then ordered this to try. No kidding- within 3 days of taking this twice a day, a little less than a teaspoon on an empty stomach I could EAT again, without pain! No more nausea or constant pain. I will not go without this product in my house again. This is GOLD stuff.
Son Of Hibbs hello, what kind did you buy and how do you take it? You said twice a day on empty stomach. I need it for gastritis and Gerd 😞 thank you
Wich product you use? And how big umf or mgo dosis?
@@zinthiahernandez9582 I had success years ago too in healing very severe acid reflux. I used a brand that had factor 30 grade. 2 teaspoons a day for 12 weeks. I also consumed Aloe Vera gel 2/3 times per day ( 1 heaping tablespoon each time ). Plus digestive enzymes at every meal and a probiotic capsule during breakfast and dinner. I was off the PPI meds immediately and never needed the meds again. Stress reduction was huge too in the healing and taking a daily fibre supplement ( Ultimate Fibre Plus ). Best wishes to you all!
Apple Lake thank you for replying. Did you suffer from acid reflux because of a hiatal hernia ?
@@zinthiahernandez9582 YW 😊 And no my severe acid reflux gradually came on due to too much meat and sugar carbs consumption and high levels of stress. I saw several GI specialists who put me on PPI meds ( I only took meds for 1 month and sought a Naturopathic Doctor to work with me to self heal and get off the meds which already started to damage my kidneys). The GI docs didn't do an endoscopy on me because the meds were already relieving the symptoms.
I have been using manuka honey for 2 weeks now !!!!! I love it!!!!! I swear by it!!!!! I will be using this for the rest of my life!!!! I have edema in my ankles and it disappeared when I started taking manuka .....my ankles dont swell any.ore plus I'm not taking a water pill everyday anymore....
Llllllpppppppppppppp
,
I RUB IT IN my clean dry face (AFTER EXFOLIATION) till im bored leave on 30-45 min, splash of water rinses off, takes 10 years off my face
it's really helped by the grace of God in many ways for me. I always have it at home.
Many hospitals use Manuka honey as the results are very effective.
Great video. Thanks!
Manna or Manuka?
I love Manuka honey I eat a tsp every day no more heartburn and no more runny nose or colds. I use the dark amber one it tastes amazing
It’s also been medically proven to kill staph and strep infections, even MRSA. But you need one with an UMF of 10 or greater. The higher the better. My sister-in-law swears it healed her bleeding ulcer and now takes it every day to prevent another one.
Still working for her?
I have an ongoing throat problem that's always worsened by pollution and people smoking around me. I'm finding that a regular mouthful of Manuka on a teaspoon, dissolving on my tongue, really soothes my throat. I have a 340MGO, which tastes amazing! Thank you for such an informative video!
I mix grass fed beef ground and liver. I also smoothie damned near errrrrthing vegetable and fruits. I eat a lot of broccoli, brussel sprouts, okra, kale, spinach, swiss red chard (use swiss sparingly only/ high in oxalates that can cause kidney stones but it is great for cancer prevention and maintenance) and avocados. I eat a lot of berries an occasion honey. You'll be amazed at how all of these foods help you with anemia as well as other health benefits.
I wish you would sell it along with all the essential oils. It would protect us from bad sellers. 😭
Manuka Honey 🍯 is a miracle of Nature 🏵🐝🏵
I just ordered some, the $70 one, I have acid reflux/gerd been struggling with it past 3 years, went to docs put me on meds ect… and I tried probiotics with apple cider vinegar as well, and that helped tremendously, but now it’s back and I came across this and read other peoples comments with similar problems, and I am 25 years old if anyone wondering. Also struggle with sleeping well at night past 2 years. So we will see!
Do you notice a change?
How is it going?
@@taskentlutsow2110 yes I did! After about 3 days using! Spoon full in morning and evening!
@@xxdclawzxx What's the UMF?
@@taskentlutsow2110 UMF is 20*
Been using it for a few years now. I use 1[2 tsp. in 2 separate cups of my favorite Vanilla Carmel tea, and color me happy!
I am loving manuka honey, have never liked the taste of regular honey but love the flavor of the manuka honey
My husband and I use it everyday. It helped clear my sinuses and my cough I had from bronchitis.
How did you use it for sinuses?
@@evelyndaisy9722 take a teaspoon on an empty stomach , one or two times a day .
Got my first jar today. It's great. Thanks for the info, Dr. Axe.
So grateful I live in NZ. Awesome medicine for heartburn. Thankyou
Trish Covich hello, I want to try for many of my medical issues Gerd being one of they . What kind do you use and how do you take it . Thank you 😊
I just found out about Manuka Honey. It is a miracle product it seems
Manuka Honey is great , it's only problem is counterfeiting as with any Honey being sold !
Thank you so much for sharing this ! I am in lots of pain for years cant wait to try it ! I have crohns and bleeding ulcers its causing my teeth to go bad !
Darice Ormerod , try vaping marijuana for crohns, and bone broth ... I also have crohns btw.
Try eliminating plants. Carnivore diets can help digestive disease
@@jodyjackson5475 . Yet made mine worse.
I have some raw manuka honey here thinking it was great, and after learning about the grading system found out it is basically on par with regular raw honey as it is Grade 1 lol. Feels bad man. But now I know. I'll get 15+ grade next time.
I just saw on another podcast cast someone used it for PF. The scarring were flattened and disease stopped.
I wish I had known about this years ago.
Many years passed since such testimony publication. Market has responded immediately and unfortunately in a pretty traditional for capitalism way - market pollution with honey that stays far away from Manuka but carrying such name. US customers are ignorant in their vast majority and cannot understand about how to identify table "manuka" honey from real monofloral Manuka honey. I can see now it makes a major problem to spot those brands who make mass production which is by definition of Manuka honey is merely impossible. Dr. Josh is completely right on his words about Manuka honey therapeutic properties explanation . As Manuka honey importer I can see the major problem now is in explanation about altered manuka honey and that brand that really brings medicinal effect. Be aware about those brands that flooded US health foods store shelves today priced for cheap - it is not THAT manuka Rd. Josh is talking about.
Thankyou I find honey good for sore throats.
Julia Chesters yes. For instant relief I put half a teaspoon of salt and warm water then I mix it will and gurgle for five seconds then repeat a few times.
Hi Julia Chesters - yes - any good quality honey will help soothe and heal a mildly sore throat. It doesn't have to be Manuka Honey specifically. However, as a person who suffers from allergy related rhinitis and the associated sore throat I've found that the anti-bacterial action of Manuka Honey is especially helpful. Blessings.
We use high-grade Manuka Honey on our dog to heal hot spots and they are always healed after a few days.
Thanks for info. One note Eucalyptus oil is largely not recommended as dangerous in most essential oil publications. Also no need to add expensive honey for burns. The lavender essential oil with coconut oil is enough.
Then why does national dugstore chain carry manuka honey bandages in burn wound aisle. A burn IS HEAT . . OIL traps HEAT IN , Manuka Honey does NOT trap heat in and is hydrating/moisturizing
I use Manuka on burns. Works extremely well.
Okay Dr Keep Peace even though the hospital uses Manuka on babies in care.
Also has a synergistic effect with certain antibiotics
Thank you so much for this amazing information on manuka honey. I love natural remedies.
Im using it all the time.
Hey from New Zealand! 🇳🇿 Manuka honey is very expensive here so hate to think what you pay there. Amazing stuff though and definitely worth it. Loved hearing all the uses, I only knew a few!
55 euro for 250 gram jar here, how much there?
Over 60.00 here in the states for the same amount. Sad, sad, sad on a fixed income.
It’s $12.99 in Home Goods
it's worth every penny, there's no need for people to complain about the price considering the amount of times they go to a Dr and pay for various appointments & prescriptions.
Costs me $80.00 in Australia. I get a very high strength one. I use it for food and medicine. A jar lasts about six months. Money well spent.
You are the best doctor ❤️

Manuka manufacturers owes you a lot. Thanks for your informative video anyways.
Just got my first jar about to try it I’m
Excited
It is the best thing for libido I’ve tried everything this is best
"Spendy" never heard that term before
Even raw honey will over time cause tooth decay if vitamin K2 is missing in the diet.Honey (even if raw, and even if Manuka) is very insulingenic...so when you mentioned only a small amount of it, like a teaspoon, I totally agree.
Just tried a Manuka Honey with CBD topical. Used it as a facial moisturizer and on my dry chapped lips. My skin and lips feel so soft now. I'm a fan!
What brand did you use?
I make a mask with it weekly. I also added it to my favorite lip gloss.
Waiting for mine to get here.
Where do you get Manuka Honey Essential oil?
OMG I am eating organic fuji apples with almond butter w/ manuka honey sprinkled on my apples right now! lol :)) I was like heyyyyy im eating that right now haha
What is the best manuka honey to get?
Really great information. Thank you. I hope you seal products safely.
as always thank you and you are loved for all your kindness and sharing your knowledge. My honey shows MGO 83+ is this ok or to strong
83 is too light...I use 1700+
Manuka Honey is great for me
just bought a 400 MGO manuka honey. am qurious to see what it can do to the helicobacter bacteria i have in my stomach.
So what happened?
@@texanboiii562 it feels like my situation has improved. but i also took other supliments and have other things. so i dont know how much the manuka has done.
and i havent been checked lately. so i dont know if my helicobacter is completly gone.
Thanks so much... for share this video
I wish this Honey is cheaper .
When would be best time to take this honey? During the day or before going to sleep?
I have the same question. @draxe
The best time to drink honey is after get up from the bed in the morning with empty stomach..dilute one spoon honey to warm water and drink..after an hour u can eat breakfast..do it also before bed time..it promotes your sound sleep...
I tried An Australian organic Manuka honey for the first time last night one teaspoon to be exact then I drank a bit of water. I went back to sleep I have had a really bad throat infection This honey had bee break out in a bad sweat as of I had a fever then really really had me in a deep sleep where my body felt heavy I started to get a bit scared but then I’m like this has given me relaxation. I was like wow…😂 I prayed went to sleep…I will find out today if it helps my throat it still hurts so will see
So that must be why I'm starting to take naps. I've been taking a spoon every morning and I do feel so relaxed and tired that I take a nap and I never take naps. Did it help your throat?
Does anyone in the comment s know whether u can take this honey being a type 2 ?
Thanks for the info,thanks for all your work in helping us . One love
Look at those arm muscles!!
I’ve heard of this but I don’t know where to get it
Whole food $39 for 200+ MGO or Amazon 850 mgo
Thanks for your videos doc, I trust you.
What impact does it have on type 2 diabetics
I wonder if I could give Menuka Honey my 6 year-old child.
Would this cure upper respiratory infections with phlegm?
Unlikely to cure. But will be beneficial to ease.
Does kfactor 16 make it more relevant to health? I just read that UMF rated Manuka is what should be looked for when choosing Manuka honey.
What does umf mean?
@@jappy6539 It means unique manuka factor and defines the level of content of MGO methilglicoxal, the compound with antibacterial proprietes in the honey... As far as i know...
Over $300 a gallon for manuka honey & wirth every penny!!🙏👍😊
Please tell something about DIM suppliments. or make a video about it. I don't have gyno but have too much fat on my chest. I worked out for 3+ years but can't help much. help me about it.
You recommend two tea spoons twice a day for stomach issues. For how long should one use it ?
#Draxe thank very much for all this information, whay is tbe mixture of Olive oil and and Bay leaf oil good for? thank you very much
If you put it in tea or hot coffee when it not damaged the raw ingredients....
Unreal, over 8,000 views but only 700 likes.... does it really take much to hit the like button?
Yeah, it's almost always at about only 10% or less. Don't know if people are lazy or just don't care. I always "like" the Dr. Axe videos I watch... because I always like them & find them very informative :)
It's not Facebook you don't hit like on every single thing you watch
I never hit the like button even if it's a good video. What jim cherkas said.
Great video! Thank you!
What brand of manuka honey should I use for treating acne ?
Any brand make sure its from newzealand and active like MGO or UMF
I feel like I am talking to myself... great info .. thank you..
Dear Doctor, Is Manuka Honey boosting your immune system or/and killing bacteria withing your body or only in your stomach? thanks!!!
Manuka honey boosts your immune system, and kills bacteria & fungus it has a wide range of benefits.
Does manuka honey have pollen in it? As i am allergic to pollen. I get anaphylaxis when I consume pollen.
Manuka honey can cure bacterial vaginosis?
Can pregnant ladies take manuka honey?? Please suggest
I’ve read that the placenta protects the baby, so when pregnant you can eat it in small amounts. But when the baby arrives do not give it unless he/she is 1+ year old. Wish you the best.
Would manuka honey soothe or heal Barrett's oesophagus, please? Should it have some oils mixed with it too? Thanks.
58debjean hello, did you try manuka honey for Barrett’s? Did it work ? Thank you
???
great for pressure sores/bed sores (grows new skin) and wounds and face masks!
Patti Roberts Helps to heal diabetic sores. I use to work at a biotechnology Co. were manukau honey was an ingredient mixture for one of their products.
It really is the most amazing natural healer. Brilliant for pressure sores.
Patti Roberts You know what else is excellent for pressure sores. Black seed oil. Actually, the black seed itself and honey are taken together for any ailment
Which is better Manuka honey or killer bee honey? I use killer bee honey almost every day
Can I take it just as one teaspoon straight?
Of course
"nnNNOOOOOoooo" (dives in slo-mo to slap the spoon out of your mouth)
Which Manuka honey is best to heal and prevent ulcers?
umf 20+
20+UMF. it’s expensive. I bought 29+ UMF 250 grams and I paid $Cdn.357.00
does your book have the recipes on how to make the oils? or, does it just state the benefits of certain oils?
Daniel Medina I don't know if you can really make essential oils on your own
What is the best brand?
please confirm, what is 5+, 10+ and 15+ in Manuka honey and who should use which one among these
Muhammad Mohsin Azam I believe anything over the 10+ is more potent and works like antibiotics.
@@jayhov8157 agreed, I use 10, 15....I think 20+ is more beneficial for topical use, as opposed to ingesting, but I've had it a few times.
I suggest start with 5 and if you need more eat more. If its for topical use then higher is better.
@@farmanshaikh6405 quite reverse. The higher the umf/mgo, better for ingesting. The small umf is better for topical use.
@@TheTruth-sd8ey i have pylori and candida, which one do you reccommend??
Can you pls share some of the goid brands of manuka honey?????
Vinita Tiwari just mix munka powder in simple honey.
Manukora UMF 15+ Kiva UMF 15+
Anything which is from New Zealand and is tested and traceable.
Manuka health the best
Will Manuka honey help psoriasis if topically applied?
Or dermatitis??
Absolutely yes! It's perfect for that and can be also applied to infections of the skin.
Unfortunately, nowadays mass Manuka honey brand name manufacturers are competing to each other for every market by reducing the cost. Based on a very limited real Manuka honey availability in general, their import volume increases every year. How they do that ? Of course they blend it with another New Zealand and not finally New Zealand origin honeys. American customers as well all other countries consumers have to understand some basic points of Manuka honey, its potency and healing power. it is hard to navigate modern market for real not alternated or blended manuka honey. That is why I fly to New Zealand personally every time I pack my brand name batch. Since 2020 I trust nobody there.
Any ideas about vitiligo
Dr Axe can I use this in my eyes? Thank you!
