Treats Acid Reflux, Heartburn, and GERD
Manuka honey has a low pH, which can help to balance stomach acid. It can also help reduce acid reflux, heartburn, and GERD symptoms. While it is generally recommended to avoid taking antacids or other medications for these conditions (which can have adverse side effects), manuka honey may be best used with natural remedies like ginger tea, lemon juice, and aloe vera gel. Manuka honey should not be given to children under one year old due to its potential risk for botulism.
