7 Everyday Uses for Manuka Honey

7 Powerful Ways to Use Manuka Honey Daily

When most people think of Manuka honey, they picture a spoonful during cold and flu season. But the truth is — real, high-quality Manuka honey can be used daily in so many different ways.

Whether you're looking to support your immunity, settle your gut, or just simplify your wellness routine, here are 7 easy and effective ways to use it every day.

1. Take It Straight Off the Spoon

Sometimes simple is best.

Just one teaspoon daily — ideally on an empty stomach — is a great habit to support immune health, gut balance, and overall wellbeing.

We recommend our MGO 100+ for a smooth, easy start, or MGO 200+ for that little extra boost.

2. Stir It Into Warm Tea (Not Boiling)

Mixing Manuka honey into warm water with lemon or herbal tea is a classic — and for good reason.

It soothes the throat, helps with digestion, and is a comforting way to wind down or start your day. Just make sure the water isn’t boiling — high heat can damage the enzymes that make it so special.

3. Add It to Yoghurt or Oats

Want a quick health kick at breakfast?

Drizzle Manuka honey over natural yoghurt, porridge, or overnight oats. It adds natural sweetness and a nutritional boost — no refined sugar required.

4. Use as a Prebiotic Boost Before Meals

Manuka honey has prebiotic properties, which help feed the good bacteria in your gut.

Try taking a small spoonful 20–30 minutes before meals to support digestion — especially helpful if your gut needs a bit of TLC.

5. Apply It to Skin (Yes, Really)

Manuka honey isn’t just good inside the body — it works on the outside too.

Thanks to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, it can help:

Calm acne
Soothe dry patches
Support skin healing

Just apply a thin layer (we recommend MGO 200+ or 400+), leave it on for 15–20 minutes, then rinse off with warm water.

6. Add to Smoothies (After Blending)

Want to boost your smoothie without losing the honey’s benefits?

Blend your ingredients first, then stir in a teaspoon of Manuka honey at the end to avoid damaging the natural enzymes with friction heat. Works well with greens, berries, and citrus combos.

7. Support Seasonal Wellness

When everyone around you is getting sick, a daily spoon of Manuka honey can be a handy addition to your winter wellness plan.

Opt for MGO 200+ or MGO 400+ if you’re feeling run-down or travelling a lot — it’s a natural way to help your body stay balanced.

Final Thoughts

There’s no one “right” way to use Manuka honey — it’s about finding the rhythm that works for you. Whether you take it first thing in the morning or keep a jar in the kitchen for meals, it’s one of the easiest, most natural ways to support your body every day.
