Additionally, some varieties, such as Manuka honey, are known for their high antimicrobial properties and can offer enhanced benefits.
As always, consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new herbal remedy. While honey is a natural remedy, it is not suitable for infants under one year old due to risk of botulism. Additionally, those managing blood sugar levels should consider using it sparingly and consult with their healthcare provider if needed.
