5 Powerful benefits of Manuka honey (slideshow)

5. Bladder infections

Bladder infections are another ailment that’s becoming highly resistant to the antibiotics used to treat them. But one study conducted just last year shows that Manuka honey may be able to help. In this study, Manuka honey stopped the growth of bacteria that cases urinary tract infections. It also prevented this bacteria from forming biofilms, thin layers of bacteria that stick to your bladder and cause chronic or reoccurring bladder infections.

If you want to use Manuka honey to ease bladder infections or prevent them, mix some in your tea or combine it with apple cider vinegar and lemon for an even more antibacterial health tonic.
