'Brilliant' kitchen item helps tackle cold and flu symptoms with 20% off deal

As the autumn chill descends and children head back to school, parents nationwide are bracing themselves for the annual onslaught of colds, coughs and sniffles. The combination of close-knit classrooms and dropping temperatures definitely calls for a boost in immunity to keep family life running smoothly.

More and more families are turning to alternative remedies such as Manuka honey as a natural method to enhance wellness. Known for its antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, it offers numerous benefits. Right now, shoppers can use the code 'wellness' at checkout to enjoy a 15% discount on selected purchases of Melora Manuka Honey, with their Manuka Honey 40+ MGO starting at £9.99 for a 250g jar.

Hailing from New Zealand, Melora Manuka Honey is made using only natural and authentic MGO Manuka honey, sourced sustainably and ethically.

Honey helps ease colds by activating key immune responses, supporting antiviral defences, and soothing inflammation in the throat and nasal passages. Rich in antioxidants and antimicrobial compounds, it reduces oxidative stress, calms persistent coughs, and improves comfort-particularly at night.

Studies show that Manuka honey supports the immune system by stimulating cytokine production, enhancing antiviral defences, and reducing oxidative stress through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It is also widely recognised for soothing coughs and sore throats, with studies recommending it as a non-antibiotic, antibacterial alternative, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Manuka honey's potency comes from bioactive compounds like methylglyoxal (MGO) and dihydroxyacetone (DHA), along with vitamins, minerals, enzymes, flavonoids, and prebiotics that support overall wellness and immunity. It can also promote better sleep and supports oral and digestive health, as well as providing longer-lasting energy without the sugar crash.

For shoppers who want to try the full range, Melora offers a range of applications. As well as the Manuka Honey jars, there is also theManuka Honey Squeeze Bottle 70+MGO Honeythat comes in ginger, blueberry or lemon flavours.

Manuka lozengesare a convenient way to enjoy the benefits on the go, while the £9.99 High Strength Oral Sprayuses essential oils to support oral health and fresh breath.

There is also the chance to 'Buy One, Get On Free' with the larger 300ml jars. This deal serves up a substantial amount of honey goodness for £27.99 - or just £13.99 a jar. The 15% off deal is not available with this offer.

Meanwhile at LookFantastic, the 'Manuka Honey Blend' featuring 30+ MGO currently boasts 50% off. Slashed from £18.99 to £9.50, it arrives in a generous 500g jar.

Elsewhere, Holland and Barrett also offers jars of 70 MGO honey, with prices starting from £14.99.

How to use the Melora Manuka Honey

A teaspoonful of Manuka honey can be stirred into warm porridge or herbal tea during morning hours for gentle immunity support and comfort, whilst in the evening it can be savoured by the spoonful or blended with hot water and lemon as a calming remedy.

It also provides on-the-go relief when utilised in lozenges or warm water to soothe throat irritation and serves as a delightful flavour enhancer when drizzled over yoghurt, toast, or even homemade winter salads for a nourishing immune boost.

Buyers who have already tried the Melora Manuka Honey range have shared their experiences online. One customer said: "My wife and I use the honey on our morning porridge and have found it to be of benefit health wise. Melora have provided the honey a couple of times and delivery has been quick and we would order from them again."

Another added: "Brilliant honey the best on the market and at a great price 5 star service."

A customer who tried the Squeezy Honey said: "Found it a pleasant taste had slight chest infection when I got it but after a few days found it a lot better after using the honey."

While most of the feedback online has been positive, one buyer left feedback on Trustpilot said: "The honey is wonderful - I buy it regularly - but the packaging for one jar was extremely wasteful."

A different buyer was delighted with both the honey and the service, leaving a five-star review that said: "Firstly the honey alone is amazing, I had long COVID for 18 months, GP couldn't help so I bought this honey 700mgo and the difference in my health after a month was incredible, felt so much better. I now stock up before winter. The packaging and delivery is brilliant.F
