Improve Chronic Rhinosinusitis
Manuka honey has demonstrated strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory abilities, therefore it is effective for chronic rhinosinusitis caused by biofilm-producing bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staph aureus. CRS is an inflammatory condition of the paranasal sinuses and nose, usually coming with symptoms of facial pain/pressure, decreased sense of smell/loss of smell, nasal drainage, and nose blockage for at least 3 months. Nasal saline irrigation is the most common treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis, while the researchers found out that manuka honey sinus irrigation also improved outcomes and could be effective for acute exacerbations of CRS.
