Claims (4)
A honey-based herbal syrup called Honey Zufa was given to people with COVID-19, and it didn't cause any major problems or changes in their health tests over two weeks, showing it's safe to use.
This claim says that a honey-based herbal syrup called Honey Zufa can help reduce coughing in people with mild to moderate COVID-19 better than a fake treatment, and this was measured using three different ways to score coughing over two weeks.
Honey helps people with colds feel better overall, cough less often, and have less severe coughs than usual treatments, according to medical studies.
When people took Honey Zufa syrup along with regular cough medicine, they used about the same amount of extra cough medicine as those who took a fake syrup. This means the Honey Zufa might not help cut down on extra cough treatments.
