What does science say?

According to reports, residents of Ikaria say the island's recipes include garlic, ginger, and honey. Other studies have examined the miraculous effects of honey, and these are the findings.

A trial published in the medical journal BMJ in 2021 concluded that honey is superior to conventional methods for treating upper respiratory infections. It is an inexpensive and widely available "antibiotic."

Honey may help slow the spread of antibiotic resistance, but more high-quality testing is needed.

Experts say that honey boasts impressive anti-inflammatory properties, which can work wonders in reducing snoring.

When your throat is less irritated and less inflamed, your airways are clearer, making you less likely to snore. Try adding a teaspoon of honey to a cup of hot water or chamomile tea. You can enjoy this warm cup of tea about three hours before bedtime. It's really effective because it helps soothe you before sleep, according to Express .
