Helps in the Digestion of Food
Research at the University of New Zealand has examined the probiotic properties of this honey. A portion of the carbohydrates contained in Manuka honey is digested in the small intestine, and the remaining component of the honey passes without digestion to the large intestine. This process stimulates the development of healthy bacteria in the body, and they, in turn, improve digestion and also prevent toxins accumulation in the body. And thanks to its high density, high viscosity, and low surface tension, manuka honey can be helpful to soothe and prevent damage related to acid reflux; also, it could reduce esophagus inflammation and keep acid down. It is recommended to consult a doctor before using Manuka honey as a medical treatment although there may be no side effects for most people. [3]
