This evening I have tried just a very small teaspoon of Manuka honey. I don't have a good relationship with honey, in the past it has caused sever stomach cramps and violent throwing up for 24hrs. So far, 1 hour has past and it's been all good. Usually within 10 minutes, the reaction occurs. However, through my fear, trauma and own programming brought on by anticipation of the worst to happen, these feelings very quickly came to surface, I could feel my throat closing up, it wasn't the honey, it was just fear telling me so. I had to get a grip. Clear the trauma very quickly before it took hold to bring in the negative belief system. I sat with myself, hands on stomach, deep slow breathing, releasing the trauma through each exhale. Repeating to myself " This honey is calming, soothing and healing, it holds no threat " I kept repeating until the calmness arrived, letting go of the trauma. So far, so good. The honey feels like cough syrup going down the throat, clearing and soothing. Im taking the manuka honey to help my stomach as it contains a compound called methylglyoxal (MGO), which gives it strong antibacterial effects. Can help suppress harmful bacteria like Helicobacter pylori, Supports a cleaner, more balanced gut environment. Coats the stomach and throat like a protective balm. Helps calm inflammation and can also support healing of small erosions or ulcers over time. It also help provides antioxidants that help the body repair. Helps rebuild a healthier gut microbiome, works gently alongside herbal protocols. Im starting on the lower 200 mgo to see how I tolerate it. The 500 mgo is more concentrated and a higher antibacterial strength, which might just stir up flares for me at this stage. Slowly slowly wins the race. Here's hoping I have a peaceful night. I'm holding belief 🍯🐝💛
