Manuka Honey

chatelaine:

I feed my DD 1/2 tsp UMF10 twice weekly. I think UMF15 is a bit strong for kid. You can check with Hock Hua.

Hi

I just bought the UMF 15 from Hock Hua at $39 (for member only) at Marine Parade. New Store.

Also, is it ok to give it to 3 year old kid the UMF 15 manuka??

Thanks

The UMF Ratings (measure of antibacterial strength):
0-4: Not detectable
5-9: Maintenance levels only (a nice table honey but not recommended for special therapeutic use)
10-15: Useful levels endorsed by the Honey Research Unit at The University of Waikato
16 and over: Superior levels with very high activity.

I think 10 is too high antibacterial strength, is not good for 3yo child... It like eating medicine (antibaotic) everyday... I would like them to start on UMF 5 first to slowly build up their strength and maybe after 10yo then give them UMF 10 if the child is still prompt to sickness...

Can I give the Hockhua UMF10+ to a 6yo kid? How much to give?


He’s been coughing for 3 months, very phlegmy and has runny nose. Took so many bottles of cough medicine including one course of antibiotics. Now on ventolin and allergy medication. Was thinking of stopping the western medicines and just give manuka honey.

I also tried verykiasu’s pear soup with chuanbei but it seems to make him cough even more… maybe too cooling?

Hi,


You may give him a teaspoon 3 times a day and drink plenty of water

My P3 boy also on & off coughing. Not phlegmy anymore, no running nose too. Also on ventolin & singular. Shld I continue the honey treatment now that there is almost no phlegm?

The pear soup with chuanbei is supposed to be cooling? The TCM I went to said increase coughing after his medication is supposed to cough out the loosen phlegm. Once there is less phlegm, the coughing will go off. Did your boy feel the phlegm is looser?

OIC…the chuanbei pear soup is supposed to make him cough more? I stopped the chuanbei pear soup coz he didn’t like it but now combining Manuka Honey with Guaifenesin syrup to loosen phlegm. I also give him chuanbei powder dissolved in water.
