Manuka honey

[ElizabethJane]

Unfortunately my throat and vocal chord problems are not any better. The hoarseness and sore throat have returned worse than ever. I am restricted with what supplements I can take with lithium but someone has suggested manuka honey. I have bought 15+ one and have eaten two teaspoons straight from the jar. Should I be taking this with anything? It is my choirs concert tonight and I will sit in the audience as I am unable to sing. EJ

ElizabethJane,
I'm so sorry about your throat problems. I have manuka honey taken straight from the jar the same as you, I only have one teaspoon now and again for colds and sore throats, or just anytime really as it is supposed to help healing in the body such as ulcers. I have heard that it is used in hospitals. I think it may help with your throat.
I hope you enjoy the concert,even though you will not be singing.
All the best:)

Have you tried mixing it with a little warm water and lemon? Very soothing for the vocal chords!

Thank you for the advice. It tastes wonderful but very expensive so I'll keep you posted re whether it will work or not. EJ
