I am thinking it is more the turmeric than the honey that is clearing my tongue. I did not notice any difference in my tongue during the week I took the honey, but as soon as I started drinking the turmeric water, BOOM it was like it instantly worked. I am not sure of the process of how this is working. I don't know if the Candida is being controlled or the turmeric is just clearing it off the tongue...only time will tell.
