‘Manuka marvel! It really helps colds and sore throats,’ one reviewer shared. ‘I have used it for over 10 years now, always recommending it to people with cancer, especially after chemotherapy, which leaves the throat sore. Manuka honey can change the way you feel.’

According to the manufacturers, Manuka has uniquely high levels of the health-boosting compound methylglyoxal, or MGO, which naturally occurs in all honey but in particularly high levels in Manuka.

Natural health advocates claim it can help soothe toothache, treat wounds and burns and even fight the common cold.

Many A-listers and celebrities are reported to be fans of Manuka honey’s natural healing powers, too; Kourtney Kardashian is said to enjoy a spoonful of Manuka honey in her morning tea.

Darker and creamer than regular honey with ‘a wonderful flavour’, it’s perfect for adding to hot drinks or smoothies, spread on toast, over porridge, cereals or yoghurts. Some people cook with it, and many take a spoonful daily.

There’s a reason why the Manuka Doctor 70 MGO Mānuka Honey has gained over 3,500 five-star ratings on the brand’s site, with rave reviews from users who say it’s the best natural immunity booster to defend your body against winter illnesses.

‘Love it!’ a second customer declared. ‘I’ve been getting this Manuka Honey for 5+ years and will continue doing so. It definitely boosts my immune system and keeps the flu away every winter!’

A third added: ‘Manuka honey is the best tasting honey, and for colds and coughs, I love the aroma of the honey too.’
