Everyone swears by honey and lemon for a sore throat 🍯🍋
But here’s the part no one tells you 👇
Yes, honey can help, but only certain types actually do the job.
Manuka or raw honey = antibacterial win.
Regular processed honey? Not so much.
And if you pour boiling over your lemon juice, the vitamin C will be destroyed. Let it cool a bit first to actually get the benefits.
So yes, honey + lemon has beneficial compounds and helps soothe your throat…
But it’s not a miracle cure.
Your body still needs nutrients to fight off whatever’s causing that sore throat.
Think soups, smoothies, and proper nourishment to support your immune system.
