This tonic to prevent summer colds contains honey. The ideal is manuka, originally from New Zealand, whose antibacterial levels are higher than in other types of honey. Apart from the respiratory and digestive system, it is also good for the skin. It prevents wounds from becoming infected and helps them heal sooner. Although this is fantastic, the tonic will not suffer because we use another variety of honey, as long as they are of high quality. You will differentiate them by their dark color. The darker they are, the more antibacterial and antioxidant power they have.
