5 Easy & Powerful Ways to Use Manuka Honey in Your Daily Routine

Manuka honey isn’t just a pantry staple—it’s a natural powerhouse that’s steadily earning its place in wellness routines around the world.

Famed for its rich, earthy flavour and smooth, velvety texture, Manuka honey offers more than just taste. Studies have shown it carries unique antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties that make it incredibly versatile. And the best part? It’s not just for drizzling on toast.

Let’s explore five simple, effective ways you can add Manuka honey to your everyday life—whether you're caring for your skin, your gut, or just trying to get through a winter cold.

1. Glow Naturally with a DIY Manuka Face Mask

Manuka honey—especially UMF™ 10+ and above—is a gentle yet powerful addition to your skincare routine. Thanks to its natural antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, it’s often found in premium skincare formulations.

Try this easy DIY mask to exfoliate, nourish, and give your skin a healthy glow—without harsh chemicals.

How to use it:

• 1 tbsp Manuka honey

• ½ tbsp baking soda

• A pinch of salt

Apply to a clean, damp face and massage in gentle circles. Rinse with warm water and pat dry. It works wonders on blackheads and makes a great all-natural body scrub too.

2. Support Gut Health, the Natural Way

Manuka honey is a natural prebiotic, meaning it feeds the good bacteria in your gut—supporting digestion, reducing inflammation, and boosting immunity.

Taking a teaspoon on an empty stomach is one of the easiest ways to enjoy its benefits. Or add it to a smoothie for a gut-friendly, naturally sweet boost.

For daily digestive support, look for UMF™ 5+ to 10+ grades. And if you’re just getting started, begin with smaller doses and build up gradually. Always check with your doctor if you have existing conditions—especially if you're using it therapeutically.

3. Soothe Sore Throats (and Skip the Chemicals)

Tired of sugary lozenges that barely scratch the surface? High-grade Manuka honey, such as UMF™ 20+, can help soothe sore throats at the source thanks to its potent MGO levels.

This isn’t just folklore—research confirms that the higher the MGO content, the stronger its antibacterial effect.

For easy, mess-free relief, Manuka lozenges are a winter must-have. PURITI offers lozenges made from 91% pure Manuka honey—perfect to keep in your bag, desk drawer, or nightstand.

4. Upgrade Your Morning Coffee or Tea

Ditch the sugar. Stir in Manuka honey instead.

A spoonful of Manuka honey in your tea, coffee, or even matcha not only adds natural sweetness—it brings calm focus, a steadier energy release, and a little immune support to start your day right.

Try it in chamomile before bed or in peppermint tea after lunch. However you enjoy it, it’s a small swap with powerful benefits.

5. Recover Better After Workouts

After a workout, your body needs quick energy, reduced inflammation, and efficient nutrient absorption. Manuka honey can help with all three.

Its natural sugars refuel your energy levels, while its anti-inflammatory properties ease muscle soreness and support recovery.

Stir it into a smoothie, drizzle over yoghurt and granola, or add it to warm oats with nuts and seeds. It’s a simple, delicious way to enhance your post-workout nutrition.

One Product. Endless Possibilities.

From radiant skin to a healthier gut, from calming tea to workout recovery—Manuka honey is a daily essential hiding in plain sight.

When choosing your honey, make sure it’s genuine, UMF™ certified, and sourced from trusted producers. PURITI Manuka honey is independently tested, MPI-compliant, and packed at source in New Zealand—with a range of UMF™ ratings to suit every purpose.

Because natural wellness should be simple, delicious, and backed by science.
