Manuka, Sidr Honey Kill Bacteria that Cause Sinusitis

Honey May Relieve Sinusitis
China Daily, 3/18/2009

USC University Hospital reports that honey could help reduce chronic sinusitis. An in-vitro lab study conducted at the University of Ottawa found that the “natural germ fighters” in honey can kill off bacteria that cause sinusitis. Researchers tested honey on biofilm substances that contain the sinusitis bacteria, and found that honey was actually more effective at killing the bacteria than traditionally-used antibiotics.

The Director of Pediatric Clinical Research at Penn State, Dr. Ian Paul, commented on this new study: “Bacteria do not grow very well in honey…There is data that honey works well for wounds, in smothering the bacteria that that grow in wounds. So it’s not altogether surprising that honey would be effective in killing these bacteria.”…

If you’re interested in specific types of honey, here are two varieties that the Canadian researchers found to be most powerful against sinusitis: Manuka honey from New Zealand and Sidr honey from Yemen.

Advances in Modern Medicine are mind boggling. Yet illness has increased exponentially. Look around how many people in your office are taking prescription medicines. There is something fundamentally flawed in our modern way of life. Path to happiness and health is saying No to artificial, processed, chemical ridden food and Yes to natural, organic, wholesome raw and cooked food and traditional medicines.
Sidr honey has been reported to be good for respiratory infections,liver problems, stomach ulcers,malnutrition, digestive problems, constipation, eye diseases, infected wounds and burns, surgical wounds. Here is one good source for raw Sidr honey
