Re: Sinus Infection Remedies? manuka honey

[Guest guest]

Can someone explain the difference between 12+, 16+ etc. We bought the 12+ and

paid too much for it at an Asian vitamin store. I have used it myself every time

I start coming down with sinus, sore throat, and enlarged lymph nodes. So far,

each time the symptoms resolve within a day, if not sooner.

around in my family that looks like sinus infection or strep but antibiotics

didn't help my daughter or my grandma. I have 6 family members now taking the

honey and seems to keep whatever it is at bay. I know it sounds off the wall,

and the other people hear probably have some tried and true remedies, but this

stuff killed whatever we had going around. Of course it is honey, so be careful

of allergies.

Humidifier and saline drops don't seem to help.

I think that number has to do with antibacterial strength. 16+ is the superior

product, but using something over a 10 has benefits. This only applies to the

New Zealand manuka honeys (also referred to as UMF or Unique Manuka Factor) and

not all manuka at that. From what I know, UMF should appear on the label and

should show that your particular patch has been tested for 'potency', so to

speak. I'm not sure how strict they are with monitoring testing, though.

Hope that helps. The higher the UMF, the stronger the healing properties

(according to them).
