So as we know it’s the season for allergies, cold & flu, RSV, and so many other prominent sicknesses during this time of the year. As a new mom, I was very hesitant about what OTC or Pharmaceutical products I gave my son period. Being in daycare, he consistently has a runny nose or comes home sick due to exposure to other kids. After a lot of reasearch and trying a few different products, the only products I found that work and keep my child from being sick are ManukaGuard’s Premium Medical Grade Honey and their Kid’s products.
The one product I and my entire little family take regularly is the Premium Medical Grade Manuka Honey. Not only does this keep Flu, COVID-19, and other stuff away from our house and bodies, but it also helps with our microbiome. It is the strongest honey they have and is worth every penny.
Medical-grade manuka honey is a distinct variety of honey known for its exceptional non-peroxide antibacterial properties. This unique antibacterial effect is mainly due to MGO, a compound found in high levels in manuka honey. In contrast, regular honey primarily relies on hydrogen peroxide for its antibacterial qualities. The variation in antibacterial effectiveness between medical-grade manuka honey and regular honey highlights the former as a more effective therapeutic choice.*
This Medical Grade Manuka Honey is by far a lifesaver in itself and has extraordinary benefits not only by orally taking it but also for the skin when you have wounds or for eczema. It can also reduce the healing time of wounds and allergy issues for not only us humans but also our fur-babies. We take this honey anywhere from 3-6 times a week 2 times a day. We have all noticed a difference overall in how often we get sick or even have runny noses. If you do not like the taste of manuka honey, you can easily put this in some warm water, coffee, or tea and it will still work its magic.
Cost of the Premium Medical Grade Manuka Honey will run about $65.00 a jar but will last you a little over a month or longer depending on how much you take a day. I can say when we have gotten sick with especially Flu or Covid-19 we normally eat a whole jar in a day or two and will have symptoms gone within the first 24-36 hours after taking the medical grade every hour. It might have a higher cost but it is 100% worth it when it keeps you and your family FROM GETTING SICK!
Two other products that we keep in our household for both the baby and us are the Kid’s Nasal Spray and the Deep Nasal Cleanse Nasal Spray. These two products are a must-have if you choose not to pair them with the honey or keep the honey in your house. The Kid’s Nasal Spray, I use on my son by spraying a Q-tip and swabbing his nose or spraying directly in the nose – when he lets me. I have seen my son’s nose go from being extremely runny to nothing within minutes after using the product. I use the Kid’s Nasal Spray every day he has daycare to help prevent him from coming home with something he got from daycare.
ManukaGuard’s Kid’s Nasal Spray is roughly $13.00 on their website and is worth every penny. I normally have the nasal spray for my son for about 2 months – sometimes more or less- depending on how much we use it. We tend to use it more during the seasonal changes from summer to winter. There are times we go 6 months without having to use it which is great because that tells me the Premium Medical Grade Manuka we take daily is doing its job.
For me and my husband, we take the Deep Nasal Cleanse Nasal Spray (formerly Sinus Nasal Spray) just about every 2-3 days, except during summer, we take it less. We keep this nasal spray in the cabinet all year round. This nasal spray has proven to rid our bodies of COVID-19, Flu/Cold, allergies, and more, especially paired with the Premium Medical Grade Manuka. However, you do not have to pair this nasal spray with the honey to get effective results. This nasal spray is made with the highest quality of Manuka honey, MGO 600, and cleanses the sinus and nasal passages completely of irritants. We have taken the nasal spray after seeing symptoms of allergies, sinus infections, cold/flu, and more and get rid of symptoms within minutes of taking the nasal spray. I highly recommend keeping this product in your cabinet at all times.
With a price of $15.00, it may seem like it is expensive but when you read the research regarding manuka honey in the nose versus saline or even Afrin you will see that this product is 100% better for the body and does not dry the nose out or cause it to become runny. It is a must-have.
We use these products religiously because not only are they all-natural, non-GMO, no artificial preservatives, flavors, or coloring but they work 100% for the whole family. You can even take this pregnant or you can make a face mask out of their Premium Medical Grade Manuka.
Continually, the nasal sprays are effective when traveling to keep away different pollens and irritants as well as keep you from getting sick while you travel.
I suggest if you are uncertain about trying the products that you reach out to ManukaGuard directly at support@manukaguard.com and ask them for samples or even educational information regarding the products. You will be glad you did.
Love always,
Your Military Spouse & Mom
