How Manuka Honey Helps Relieve Seasonal Allergies and Promotes Respiratory Health

Many people struggle with seasonal allergies, suffering with symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and sinus congestion. Whilst modern medicine does offer over the counter medications to address individual symptoms, natural remedies like Manuka honey are becoming more popular due to its wholistic support of the immune and respiratory health whilst controlling symptoms.

At Gather By, we provide a range of Manuka Honey products to suit all your needs, especially for those suffering from allergies.

Understanding Manuka Honey and Its Benefits

Manuka honey is  honey that comes from the nectar of the Native Australian Manuka tree. What makes it unique is its high concentration of dihydroxyacetone (DHA) which converts to methylglyoxal (MGO measured in parts per million) ) in the honey. MGO is responsible for its antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties. Manuka honey is known to support the immune system and respiratory health. It is not just a sweet treat but a powerful superfood with benefits that support sufferers of seasonal allergies.

One of Manuka Honey's primary benefits is its anti-inflammatory action in the body. Manuka honey reduces inflammation, and soothes irritated respiratory tissues. You will need to take Manuka honey for 30 days consecutively to assess effectiveness for you. When taken regularly Manuka honey can help regulate the immune system which may be triggered by pollen, dust and mould. This soothing calming action may result in a reduction of symptoms during the allergy season.

Manuka - High in Antioxidants

High-MGO Manuka honey is rich in polyphenol antioxidants, and flavonoids which help protect the body against oxidative stress and inflammation. The higher the MGO (methylglyoxal) level, the more concentrated these powerful antioxidants, supporting immunity, wound healing, and overall well-being. Scientific research suggests that high MGO Manuka honey may help neutralise free radicals, reducing cellular damage and promoting anti-inflammatory actions in the body. This makes it a valuable natural remedy for boosting immunity and supporting long-term health and wellbeing.

Manuka Honey and Respiratory Health

The health of your respiratory system plays a vital role in how your body reacts to allergens such as pollen. Irritated airways are more sensitive, and can more readily be inflamed when exposed to allergens. Manuka honey's soothing anti-inflammatory actions help with reducing the inflammation, giving relief from wheezing, coughing and sore throats. 

Manuka honey has strong antibacterial effects, which is of benefit if there is an infection as well as chronic or acute allergies. This is important for people suffering with sinus infections, strep throats, or any other respiratory issues due to chronic allergies. By including Manuka honey in your diet daily, you can help soothe and strengthen your airways so that they are clear and healthy throughout the allergy season.

For those looking for the highest potency, Gather By offers Manuka honey with MGO levels from MGO600+, MGO900+, MGO1200+, MGO2000+, and the world’s highest, MGO2300+ , ensuring you receive the maximum health benefits with every spoonful. 

How Manuka Honey Helps Relieve Seasonal Allergies

Manuka honey's naturally soothing properties make it an excellent natural remedy for allergies. Here’s how it works:

• Boosts the Immune System: Manuka honey naturally has antibacterial and antiviral properties that help strengthen the immune system, and allow your body to respond to allergens differently. By supporting your immunity, you may experience fewer or less severe allergy symptoms.
  
• Acts as a Natural Antihistamine: Manuka honey has strong anit-inflammatory actions, and acts as a natural antihistamine in the body. This may reduce the body's allergic reaction to environmental triggers like pollen and dust mites. Having Manuka honey daily can help reduce the severity of your allergic reactions and/or symptoms  and improve your overall respiratory health.
  
• Soothes Throat Irritation: The thick, viscous texture of Manuka honey coats the throat and soothes tissue irritation caused by allergens. This can reduce coughing, and nasal palate inflammation, making it easier to breathe. Manuka honey is helpful for those who suffer from post-nasal drip, a common side effect of seasonal allergies.
  
• Reduces Nasal Congestion: Manuka honey's anti-inflammatory actions can help reduce swelling in the nasal passages, which helps alleviate congestion. A spoonful of Manuka honey can provide immediate relief, allowing you to breathe more easily.

Incorporating Manuka Honey Into Your Daily Routine

Adding Manuka honey to your daily routine is easy and effective:

• In Tea or Warm Water: Stir a teaspoon of Manuka honey into your tea or warm water with lemon for a soothing drink that helps ease allergy symptoms (be sure not to heat the Manuka honey over 45C)
  
• On Toast or Oatmeal: Spread Manuka honey on your toast or drizzle it over oatmeal for a delicious breakfast that supports your immunity.
  
• Taken Directly: We recommend taking it by the spoonful directly on an empty stomach. This is especially helpful if you are experiencing severe allergy symptoms and need fast relief.
