ABSTRACT:   Oral rehydration honey salts developed by Department of Traditional Medicine, Ministry of Health, replacing glucose with honey was investigated for its chemical aspects, comparing with standard oral rehydration salts. Three physico-chemical test parameters pH, electrolytes and total reducing sugar contents were tested. pH value of honey salts solution was found to be very similar with standard oral rehydration salts (ORS) solution. There were slight increases in electrolyte concentrations and total reducing sugar contents of honey salts when compared with standard ORS. Results obtained were discussed and recommandation proposed for therapeutic effectiveness of oral rehydration honey mixture preparation.
