How NZ Manuka Honey Helps with Stomach Ulcers

The Healing Powers of Manuka Honey: A Natural Remedy for Stomach Ulcers

Manuka honey, a special kind from New Zealand, is gaining attention for its healing abilities for stomach ulcers. Ulcers are painful wounds in the stomach's lining that can make life quite uncomfortable. What's remarkable about Manuka honey is that it's not just a folk remedy; actual science shows it can help. Research has found that it can soothe the stomach and reduce the signs of ulcers. It does this by boosting the body's natural defence systems and calming inflammation, which is often a cause of these ulcers. So, adding Manuka honey to your diet might be a sweet way to support your stomach's health.

Scientific Evidence Supporting Manuka Honey's Efficacy

Recent research highlighted in the Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity journal has shown that Manuka honey benefits stomach health. The study found that Manuka honey can significantly lower the risk of developing stomach ulcers and protect the stomach lining from damage. It does this by increasing certain protective substances in the stomach that act as antioxidants, essential for preventing damage to the stomach lining. Additionally, Manuka honey helps reduce the presence of harmful substances in the stomach that can lead to inflammation and ulcers. Manuka honey is a promising natural remedy for maintaining a healthy stomach.


Manuka Honey's Unique Components

Manuka honey from New Zealand is not just a sweet treat; it's recognised for its healing qualities. This honey contains unique ingredients like methylglyoxal (MGO), which, along with other compounds, makes it good at killing germs. It's especially effective against bacteria that can cause stomach ulcers. There's a system in place that checks the quality of Manuka honey based on how much MGO it has. The more MGO in the honey (for example, MGO250 or higher), the better it is for health purposes. So, when you see Manuka honey labelled with high MGO numbers, it's packed with these beneficial properties.


Incorporating Manuka Honey into Your Diet

Adding Manuka honey to your meals might help if you have stomach ulcers or want to avoid them. You can enjoy it straight from the spoon or mix it into your tea, yoghurt, or toast as a healthier alternative to sugar. Just ensure you get the good stuff, like the honey from Totika Nature NZ Manuka Honey, because Totika Nature produces high-quality manuka honey from their farm and factory, with no middlemen, from hive to your honey jar. Remember, Manuka honey is excellent, but it's not a cure-all. It's best used along with the usual treatments your doctor recommends for stomach ulcers. And don't forget to check with your doctor before you start using it as part of your health routine.
