Manuka Honey has natural antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiseptic, antiviral, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal properties. Most honey has enzymes that create hydrogen paroxide. However, Manuka Honey has a second antibacterial component which has become known as the Unique Manuka Factor or UMF. The unique properties of UMF manuka honey can help heal a huge range of conditions from stomach ulcers to infections, as well as increasing your energy levels and general well-being.
* Stomach ulcers and related conditions
* Sore throats & colds
* Skin ulcers, wounds, boils
* Minor burns & pressure sores
* Infections & MRSA (superbug)
The Manuka tree is very closely related to Melaleuca tree, which is also known as Tea Tree. The oil which is extracted has been used topically antibiotic and anti fungal for wounds that are slow to heal. The Manuka tree is found in New Zealand and the Melaleauca tree is found primarily in Australia.
Manuka Honey is definitely worth the extra money if you’re using it for medicinal purposes.
Do you know Manuka Honey and its benefits?
One of the reasons I have created this website is to promote the health benefits of Manuka Honey. Not a lot of people know about Manuka honey as it is a rare kind of honey that is produced by introducing European honey bees feeding on the manuka or tea tree which grows throughout New Zealand and southeastern Australia. Very rare, but so good for you – isn’t that always the case?
Why is Manuka Honey so beneficial? I have already spoken about the health benefits of honey itself, but Manuka honey compounds on those benefits because of the specific nature of its production. The major antibacterial component in Manuka Honey is Methylglyoxal (MGO) – which is found in most types of honey, but only in smaller quantities. The higher the concentration of MGO, the stronger is the antibiotic effect of the honey. Honey producers have developed a scale for rating the potency of manuka honey – called UMF – Unique Manuka Factor.
Thus, Manuka honey has a lot of great benefits, like antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiseptic, antiviral, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fungal. You can heal yourself of a lot of ailments, with the regular use of Manuka honey. There are so many pollutants in our environment and foods nowadays – Manuka honey will help you heal yourself from the inside.
You can use Manuka honey as you use any kind of honey – use it topically or ingest it – all of its benefits are present in any form of usage. Just remember to buy Manuka honey – there are a lot of imposters out there – be aware and buy only the best.
