Harness the power of Manuka honey for coughs and strep throat

When it comes to soothing sore throats and persistent coughs, nature might just have the sweetest solution. More people are turning to Manuka honey for coughs as a trusted natural remedy - one that’s supported by both centuries-old tradition and modern scientific research.

Whether you're dealing with a seasonal cold, dry night-time cough, or even the dreaded strep throat, Manuka honey’s powerful antibacterial properties may provide fast, natural relief.

Why use Manuka honey for coughs and sore throats?

For generations, pure honey has been used to ease coughs and support immune health. But Manuka honey takes it a step further.

What makes it different? Manuka contains high levels of Methylglyoxal (MGO)—a bioactive compound known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. The higher the MGO, the stronger the honey’s healing potential. Here at Biosota Organics, our premium medicinal Manuka honey is independently lab-tested and certified for its high MGO levels, ranging from MGO 260+ to the rare and ultra-potent MGO 2100+.

Cough relief for the whole family

If you or your children are struggling with coughing, Manuka honey can offer gentle, natural relief. Its smooth, soothing texture helps coat the throat, calming irritation and reducing the urge to cough, especially during the night when symptoms tend to worsen.

In a 2020 review published in BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine, it was found that honey may be more effective than standard treatments for upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs), especially in reducing cough frequency and severity.

In another study involving children with coughs, honey outperformed both the cough suppressant Dextromethorphan and no treatment at all, consistently providing the most effective relief for night-time coughing symptoms.

Helping to ease discomfort and support recovery, using Manuka honey for coughs offers a safe and effective therapeutic option for the whole family.

Soothing sore throats naturally

When a sore throat strikes, Manuka honey offers more than just comfort—it delivers powerful, natural relief. Thanks to its immune-boosting properties and high MGO content, Manuka honey is a curative powerhouse. In fact, its therapeutic qualities only strengthen over time when properly stored.

Most sore throats are caused by viral infections, which means over-the-counter lozenges and sprays often provide only temporary relief. In more serious cases, such as strep throat caused by Streptococcus bacteria, antibiotics may be necessary.

If you’re looking to reduce your reliance on antibiotics or complement their effects, nature has a potent ally in Manuka honey. Scientific research suggests that Manuka honey may enhance the body’s response to bacterial infections, working in harmony with conventional medicine to support faster recovery.

Whether used alongside prescribed treatments or on its own, medicinal-grade Manuka honey is a gentle yet effective option—and a smart long-term approach to managing throat discomfort.

At Biosota Organics, our premium Manuka honey delivers powerful relief to soothe sore, irritated throats and help you feel better, faster.
