It Helps Get Rid of the Chronic Rhinosinusitis
A research done in 2017 at the University of Washington showed that this honey is effective in acting as a saline nasal solution and can help to combat the signs of chronic rhinosinusitis. CRS is an inflammatory disease of the paranasal sinuses and nose, usually accompanied by pain and pressure symptoms, decreased sense of smell/olfactory, nasal drainage, and nose blockage for at least 3 months. The researchers found that using Manuka honey sinus irrigation has the same function as nasal cavity irrigation as a treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis, and it may be effective for acute exacerbations of CRS. This honey has also been shown to be excellent at thinning mucus and making breathing easier. But the sinus infection can be caused by many factors and it may be easily confused with other conditions. It is recommended to consult a doctor before using the Manuka honey sinus irrigation as a treatment at home. [6]
