A. We do not know. People have used Buckwheat Honey for years to treat sore throats, but to date, no well-done placebo-controlled trials have been performed to see if it works better than a placebo. Buckwheat honey is believed to possess: Demulcent (throat soothing) effects. Powerful antioxidant properties of phenolics, peptides, organic acids, enzymes, and maillard reaction products. Increased immune system cytokine release. Direct antimicrobial affects. All of these properties could theoretically benefit a sore throat.
