ANTIVIRAL EFFECT FROM HONEY AGAINST COVID-19

​

There are direct and indirect groups of evidence described in the literature referring to the opportunity of honey as a complementary therapy or preventive natural product amid COVID-19 outbreak.

​

Consuming honey might help in reducing the severity of COVID-19 infection either directly based on its potential antiviral effects against SARS-CoV-2, or indirectly through boosting immune responses.

​

The direct and indirect medicinal properties of honey against COVID-19 are mainly associated with its content of antioxidant phenolic compounds.

​

Scientific research shows that the antioxidant phenolic compounds (flavonoids & phenolic acids) contained in Tualang Honey have proven to surpass the internationally renowned Manuka Honey.

MAINTAIN HEALTHY UPPER RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

 

Air pollution is severe in most urban cities. Many parents are always puzzled by their children suffering from upper respiratory infections. As early as 2001, the World Health Organisation firstly recommended using honey for treating children upper respiratory symptoms, especially cough.

 

Clinical studies indicate that children with cough taking honey before sleep are more effective in improving the frequency of cough than taking common cough syrup formulas, and also improve children sleep quality.

 

Compared with other honeys, the special antibacterial ability of Tualang Honey is more effective in relieving cough, oral ulcer and throat inflammation.

 

 

 

​

IMPROVE IMMUNITY AND BODY ACIDITY

 

Honey contains plenty of bioactive compounds such as enzymes and minerals. These elements have  synergistic effect upon entering into human body and can effectively improve human immunity. In general, the pH value of a human body is weak alkaline. Overworked and bad eating habit can cause the pH value to acidic. Acidic human body is more easy to get diseases.

 

Honey is a weak alkaline food. Long-term daily consumption can help improve the acidic body and reduce the chance of suffering from serious illness.

 

 

​

 

ENERGY REBOOST     FIGHT FATIGUE

 

The main sugar content of natural honey is monosaccharides: glucose and fructose, which is absorbable by human body through blood instead of digestive system. People tired with work or going for exercise can refill energy instantly through taking honey.

 

 

​

 

IMPROVE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

 

Honey regulates gastrointestinal function and promotes normal gastric acid secretion. Animal experiments confirm that honey has the effect of enhancing intestinal peristalsis and can significantly shorten the defecation time. For people suffering from gastrointestinal symptoms and habitual constipation, daily use of honey can achieve therapeutic effects.

 

 

​

 

DETOXIFICATION     WEIGHT LOSS     SKIN CARE

​

Honey is rich in active enzymes, which can effectively promote gastrointestinal motility, enhance metabolism, burn body fat, remove toxin from human body. Honey possesses good effect of detoxification and weight loss.
