Kourtney Kardashian is a big fan of Manuka Doctor Bio Active Manuka Honey, which contains a special enzyme that is said to help with everything from common colds to heartburn — apparently, it even clears up acne. Bees that collect nectar from the Manuka bush in New Zealand are responsible for this designer honey.
While honey has been used to treat ailments throughout history, and some of the claims about Manuka honey have merit, some of the health claims are not supported by any kind of scientific evidence. For example, the honey does have anti-inflammatory and prebiotic qualities, but it probably won’t cure your cold, prevent disease, or “detox” your system.
