Manuka and Allergies
Allergies are common, and many people look for natural ways to feel more comfortable through allergy season. You may have heard honey mentioned in this context. Here's an honest look — Manuka honey is a food, not a medicine, and we make no medical claims about it.
What are allergies?
An allergy happens when the immune system reacts to a normally harmless substance, such as pollen, releasing histamine and causing symptoms like sneezing, a runny nose or itchy eyes.
Honey and allergies: what's actually known
There's a popular idea that local honey might help people get used to local pollen. The evidence for this is limited and mixed, and it has not been established for Manuka honey, which comes from New Zealand. We don't claim Manuka honey treats or prevents allergies.
Why people enjoy Manuka honey anyway
Manuka honey is a delicious, raw, natural wholefood. It's a popular natural alternative to refined sugar, enjoyed for its rich flavour and certified MGO grading.
A note on honey allergies
Some people are allergic to honey, pollen or bee products. If that's you, approach honey with caution and check with your doctor first.
If your allergies are troubling you, a pharmacist or doctor can recommend treatments suited to you.
