Manuka honey is a special type of honey that comes from the nectar of the Manuka tree, which grows in New Zealand. Manuka honey has a unique chemical composition that gives it high levels of antioxidants and antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties. It can also calm the nervous system and promote relaxation, which can help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

Himalayan pink salt is a natural salt that is mined from the Himalayan mountains. It contains over 80 minerals and trace elements that can help balance the body's pH levels, regulate blood pressure, and reduce stress. It also contains magnesium, which can relax the muscles and nerves and improve sleep quality and duration.



According to some scientific and medical research, combining Manuka honey with Himalayan pink salt can synergistically improve sleep quality. A study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food found that consuming honey before bedtime can improve the quality of sleep in postmenopausal women. Another study published in the Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine found that Himalayan pink salt can positively impact sleep and reduce stress levels.

Do you want healthy teeth and gums without harsh chemicals or expensive treatments? If so, you might be interested in learning about raw manuka honey's amazing benefits for oral health.


Raw manuka honey is a special type of honey that comes from New Zealand, where bees collect nectar from the manuka bush. This honey has a high level of methylglyoxal (MGO), a natural compound with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.


Unlike regular honey, which can cause tooth decay and cavities, raw manuka honey can help prevent and treat dental problems. Here are some of the ways that raw manuka honey can protect your teeth:


  • It reduces plaque and gingivitis. A study by the University of Otago's School of Dentistry found that manuka honey with an MGO level of 1050+ could significantly minimise dental plaque and clinical signs of gingivitis, such as bleeding and inflammation of the gums.


  • It fights bacteria and infections. Raw manuka honey can kill harmful bacteria that cause tooth decay, gum disease, bad breath, and oral thrush. It can also help heal mouth ulcers, sores, and wounds.


  • It nourishes and strengthens the teeth. Raw manuka honey is rich in minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, and enzymes that support tooth health and development. It can also help remineralise the enamel and prevent tooth sensitivity.

To enjoy the benefits of raw manuka honey for your teeth, you only need to consume one teaspoon a day. You can eat it straight from the jar, spread it on toast, add it to your tea or smoothie, or mix it with water and drink it.
