A topic from Food & Drink: Miscellaneous

On Friday I was buying some Beechams Flu Plus to drink as I've had a horrible cold that's been coming and going for the past 3+ weeks. The cold had developed into a horrendous sore throat by Friday and I've had that for the past 5 days now. I was also buying honey to put in the Beechams (to make it drinkable) and the shopkeeper suggested that I buy manuka honey (instead of "ordinary" honey). So I bought a tub of what they had in the shop. But after I came home I decided to do some research on the internet and I discovered that what I'd bought wasn't likely to be of much help as it only had a UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) of 5+ and what I was reading online suggested that only honeys with a UMF of 10+ had any marked antibacterial properties.

Anyway, I decided to buy another tub, but this time I bought a tub of Spirits Bay UMF 25+:

The honey's arrived this morning and I put a small amount in a teaspoon as I wanted to taste it. And I was amazed that it immediately calmed my sore throat! I don't think I really believed that it would act so quickly!

I just thought I'd mention it on here for anybody who's also having to deal with a sore throat right now.
