Using Manuka Honey to Heal Wounds Infected by MRSA

Scientists have discovered that Manuka Honey has the ability to destroy antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria because of its extraordinary antibacterial properties.


Honey is an ancient remedy that is gaining increased acceptance in the modern treatment of wounds. It has now been discovered that a particular type of honey called 'Manuka Honey' contains even more powerful antibacterial and antimicrobial properties that are effective in destroying a wide range of pathogens and has been shown to be equally effective against antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.

In laboratory studies, the effect of exposing MRSA to Manuka Honey was performed using electron microscopy. MRSA that was exposed to Manuka Honey showed noticeable differences to the MRSA that wasn't exposed to Manuka Honey. The notable difference was the presence of septa in cells inhibited by Manuka Honey.

In MRSA exposed to Manuka Honey, there was a increase in the numbers of bacterial cells with septain comparison to MRSA that was not exposed to Manuka Honey. It is believe that Manuka Honey interferes with the cell cycle of MRSA by affecting the separation of new cells after septum formation. Therefore, cells unable to complete division are disabled at that point in the cell cycle. MRSA is extremely difficult to treat because of its resistance to antibiotics. This research indicates that Manuka Honey is a viable solution to treating wounds infected with MRSA.

MRSA is a spherical bacterium that grows and divides into 2 similar cells every 30 minutes. It divides by forming a septum across the middle of the cell, which then splits in half to release two new cells. It has been found that 41% of untreated MRSA contained septa, whereas MRSA treated with Manuka Honey had higher proportions of septa. This occurred within one hour of exposing MRSA to Manuka Honey.

"MRSA cannot survive in the presence of Manuka Honey," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International, which is a manufacturer of health care products containing Manuka Honey as a healing agent. "In fact, to date, there has been no bacteria that has been able to develop a resistance to Manuka Honey, making it an extremely effective wound healer." Honeymark has developed a First Aid Antiseptic Lotion with Active Manuka Honey that has been successful in treating Staph infections and MRSA where other products have failed.

Manuka Honey Destroys MRSA and Heals Staph Infections

A type of honey called Manuka honey contains a component that is effective against antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as staphylococcus aureus and helicobacter pylori.

Honey contains hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which is a known antiseptic that can be used to clear infections and heal wounds. In addition, honey is high in sugar, low in protein and very acidic. These factors combine to make honey capable of killing contaminants it comes into contact with. Scientists have now found that various types of honey contain different antibacterial substances.

Research has proven that "Manuka Honey" heals and sterilizes wounds and ulcers, more so than other types of honey and even traditional forms of medicine. It also assists in the growth of new skin and contains antibacterial properties that are so powerful that even antibiotic-resistant forms of bacteria have not been able to withstand it. Manuka Honey contains antioxidants that eliminate free radicals in the body. When Manuka Honey is exposed to air, it draws moisture in from the air, giving it a hygroscopic nature. This prevents scarring by keeping the skin moist, regenerating new skin tissue and stops bandages from sticking to the wound.

There has been hundreds of clinical trials over the past 2 decades, conducted by hospitals and universities all over the world. These clinical trials have found that Manuka Honey contains additional antibacterial properties as well as the hydrogen peroxide. Manuka Honey has gained increased notoriety because of its ability to wipe out the super-bugs associated with MRSA and Staph infections. The nectar secreted by the Manuka Tree (indigenous to New Zealand) contains what scientists call the Unique Manuka Factor or UMF. It is this antibacterial component that sets Manuka Honey apart from other types of honey.

Because of its healing properties, Manuka Honey is now being used in wound care products, as well as a wide range of other health care products for eczema, ringworm, arthritis and acne. Most products used to treat wounds are toxic and poisonous to the body. This is not the case with Manuka Honey. Being a natural substance, it can be used liberally without the fear of negative side effects.

In the past, Silver creams and dressings have been promoted for wound care treatment. These products are supported with marketing to the medical profession. However, silver is not proven to work. Silver has only undergone one clinical trial in which the result was inconclusive. However, some doctors who haven't bothered to read the clinical trials, still recommend silver. Manuka Honey is slowly becoming the preferred choice for wound care, given the recent discoveries.

It is an urban myth that you should expose an open wound to fresh air, allowing it to "breathe". When this happens, a hard, dry scab forms over the wound which makes it difficult for the new skin to grow underneath. As the new, soft and delicate skin grows, it is restricted by the hard tissue above, which causes scarring. Using wound dressings that contain Manuka Honey help the scab lift easily and naturally, preventing scarring and other skin deformities. Another benefit to using Manuka Honey is that it has a natural analgesic effect, significantly reducing the pain associated with wounds.

"Our Manuka Honey products have been tested by a third-party lab to ensure their effectiveness in destroying the MRSA bacterium," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "Manuka Honey has the ability to draw water out of the bacteria, making it impossible for the bacteria to survive, which is different than the way antibiotics work."

Manuka Honey Relieves Pain by Reducing Inflammation

Due to its powerful anti-inflammatory properties, a special type of honey known as 'Manuka Honey' is now being used as a viable treatment solution for individuals suffering from arthritis.

Arthritis is inflammation of the joints, resulting in pain, swelling, stiffness, and limited movement. Arthritis involves the breakdown of cartilage which normally protects the joint, allowing for smooth movement. Cartilage also absorbs shock when pressure is placed on the joint, for example, during walking. Without the usual amount of cartilage, the bones rub together, causing pain, swelling, inflammation and stiffness.

Joint inflammation can be due to an injury, broken bone, infection, autoimmune disease or general wear and tear on the joints. Sometime, the inflammation doesn't go away, resulting in long-term pain. Inflammatory pain is generally felt in the hips, knees or fingers. Some risk factors to increased inflammatory pain may include being overweight, injury or overuse of a particular joint. Individuals suffering from arthritis and other inflammatory complications often experience joint pain, joint swelling, stiffness, warmth around the joint and a reduced ability to move the joint.

In treating arthritis and other forms of inflammation, eliminating the underlying cause and inflammation is necessary. Doctors and other medical professionals are now discovering that a particular type of honey called "Manuka Honey" has natural anti-inflammatory properties that are extremely effective in treating these conditions. In addition, Manuka Honey has the ability to diffuse into the depths of skin tissue so as to get to affected areas.

"Manuka Honey is an organic, all-natural substance that is more effective in relieving pain than most analgesic products that are available over-the-counter," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International which is a manufacturer of Manuka Honey products. "Due to its powerful anti-inflammatory properties, Manuka Honey is now being considered a viable treatment option for arthritis and other muscle and joint pain."

Manuka Honey vs. Bacterial and Fungal Infection

A unique kind of honey contains powerful antibacterial and antimicrobial properties that make it incredibly effective in combating the microorganisms responsible for infecting wounds and causing a variety of other medical conditions.

The Manuka bush (Leptospermum Scoparium) is a plant, native to New Zealand, that blooms flowers producing a unique nectar that bees use to manufacture a very special type of honey. This honey is known as 'Manuka Honey' and has been used as a natural medicine for many years to treat a variety of different health conditions such as eczema, ringworm, wounds and burns. Recent studies have shown that the antibacterial activity of Manuka Honey is extremely effective, even more so than pharmaceuticals with no side effects. It contains natural antimicrobial properties that quicken the healing process and reduce scarring in badly infected wounds.

Researchers have found that wounds heal faster when treated with Manuka Honey dressings in comparison to traditional antiseptics. It has been discovered that Manuka Honey can provide a viable solution to many people living with skin and hair conditions. Dr. Peter Molan, Associate Professor in Biochemistry at the University of Waikato in New Zealand agrees that Manuka Honey has great healing qualities because of its enhanced antibacterial potency, which has become known as the Unique Manuka Factor or UMF. Its antibacterial potency is even effective against antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria such as MRSA and VRE.

Medical Research has shown that Manuka Honey had an 85% success rate in healing infected wounds, in compared to a 50% success rate of conventional treatments. Manuka Honey is naturally rich in vitamins, minerals and protein which contribute to it's ability to repair damaged hair and skin. Manuka Honey’s antibacterial properties are soothing and can prevent acne, eczema, psoriasis and skin infections.

"The healing properties found in Manuka Honey far supersede that of which can be found in your average health care products sold over-the-counter in pharmacies," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International which is a manufacturer of Manuka Honey products. "Our products have been achieving better results when used to treat conditions such as eczema, arthritis, ringworm, athlete's foot and wounds. Unlike many pharmaceuticals, Manuka Honey is a natural ingredient that has been found to have no negative side effects."

Manuka Honey Creams for Skin Care

As scientists discover the extraordinary healing properties of Manuka Honey, it's value is becoming greater within the medical community and is now being used as a main ingredient in health care products.

Honey has been used for centuries to aid skin health and beauty. However, studies have indicated that not all honey is created equal. One specific type of honey known as 'Manuka Honey', has proven to have more healing properties than all the others. It is derived from the nectar of a particular floral source indigenous to New Zealand. Scientists have now discovered that Manuka Honey even has more healing properties than antibiotics and other forms of traditional medicine and therefore is more effective in treating certain symptoms. Studies show that the medicinal benefits of Manuka Honey are extraordinary for moisturizing, nourishing, healing, rejuvenating and protecting. It contains nutrients, vitamins, amino acids and minerals.

Even though honey had been used as a medicine in the past, the development of antibiotics left medical professionals with the misconception that honey was merely a home remedy. This misconception is now being reconsidered as new research proves the healing value of honey to be far greater than previously recognized. Manuka honey has special qualities that not only work as a humectant, drawing moisture into the skin, but it also contains a unique active component that makes it one of the most biologically active and beneficial honeys for the skin.

The ability of Manuka Honey to stimulate wound healing and promote healthy skin is well documented. Manuka Honey is reported to stimulate the immune system and provide the nutrients for cell metabolism and rapid tissue repair. It also contains lactic acid, which aids in the clearing of dead skin cells. The bioactivity of Manuka Honey is referred to as the unique Manuka factor or UMF. This factor is associated with the strong antimicrobial activity of Manuka Honey against bacteria which is the source of skin and wound infections.

Manuka Honey is made by bees that use the nectar from flowers that grow on the Manuka bush. It is this nectar that sets Manuka Honey apart from other types of honey in terms of it's healing properties. The healing benefits of Manuka Honey are its antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. The components in Manuka Honey that add to its healing activity are hydrogen peroxide, glucose, fructose, lactic acid, vitamin C, niacin and riboflavin. These components make Manuka Honey an ideal combatant to microorganisms that cause skin irritation and infections. It has also been found to be effective against the MRSA bacterium, which is resistant to antibiotics.

Because of its extraordinary healing properties, Manuka Honey is now being used as a main ingredient in various health care products as a natural healing agent. Like all honeys, Manuka Honey is sticky and not particularly user-friendly when applied to the skin. As a result, skin creams containing Manuka Honey are a much more viable option. Honeymark International, a manufacturer of Manuka Honey products have developed a variety of skin creams effective in treating conditions such as eczema, arthritis, wounds, burns, etc. "Our products are so effective that people who have tried other products unsuccessfully their entire lives are finally getting good results with our products," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "In addition to Manuka Honey, our products also contain other helpful ingredients that contribute to their effectiveness."

Treating Ringworm and other Fungal Conditions

New studies indicate that a special type of honey known as Manuka Honey can be extremely effective in treating fungal infections such as ringworm, athlete's foot, jock itch and nail fungus.

Ringworm is a skin infection that looks like a red or brown, circular lesion. Ringworm can appear lighter in the center which makes it look like a ring. Despite its name, ringworm is not caused by a worm. It's caused by fungal parasites and can exist anywhere on the skin. Fungi are microorganisms that survive by feeding on skin tissue, hair and nails. Statistics indicate that about 20% of the population has ringworm or some type of fungal condition at any given time.

Eliminating fungal infections can be difficult and extremely frustrating. Sometimes, ringworm can be misdiagnosed as eczema or other forms of dermatitis. Either way, research has indicated that a particular type of honey known as "Manuka Honey" is effective in treating these conditions. Since fungi are microorganisms, the antibacterial and antimicrobial properties present in Manuka Honey get right to work at destroying these microorganisms. In addition, Manuka Honey has been proven to have very powerful antifungal properties, making it an ideal substance to treat fungal infections. Manuka Honey is also effective in treating eczema so if there is a misdiagnosis, the condition should still be rectified.

Hydrogen peroxide, a known antiseptic, is present in most types of honey. However, Manuka Honey has additional antibacterial properties making it more potent when being used for medicinal purposes. With antibiotics being widely over used and increasingly becoming less effective, doctors are now considering Manuka Honey as a viable alternative to traditional forms of medicine. Manuka Honey is also an all-natural, organic substance that has been found to have no negative side effects when used medically.

Most people still view honey as a food item. However, honey was used for many years as a natural remedy before modern-day medicines were invented. Doctors assumed that pharmaceuticals were more effective but scientists are beginning to think otherwise after conducting extensive research on the medicinal benefits of Manuka Honey.

One problem with using Manuka Honey topically on the skin, is that like other types of honey, it's sticky and not particularly user-friendly when applied. One manufacturer of health care products called Honeymark International has created a niche by utilizing Manuka Honey as a healing agent in their products. "Honeymark's Anti-Fungal Solution has all of the benefits of Manuka Honey without having to deal with the sticky mess," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "There are also other ingredients in this product that are helpful in treating fungal infections." Honeymark also has Manuka Honey products for treating conditions such as arthritis, infected wounds, eczema, etc.

Medical Uses for Manuka Honey

A manufacturer of health care products utilizes the healing properties of a particular type of honey known as Manuka Honey to treat a variety of different health conditions.

Honeymark International has developed a niche in the OTC health care products market by using a natural ingredient that has more healing power than pharmaceuticals and traditional forms of medicine. Manuka Honey is Honeymark's secret weapon and it seems to be working. Their products are getting great results even in cases where nothing else has worked. These products can be purchased over-the-counter without a prescription. Below is a list of symptoms that Manuka Honey has been successful in treating.

Eczema:
There is documented evidence supporting the use of Manuka Honey to treat eczema and other forms of dermatitis. Manuka Honey has been known to heal damaged skin, rebuild cells and regenerate new skin growth. It also has the ability to moisturize and soothe cracked and damaged skin. Blended with other effective ingredients, Honeymark's Anti-Itch Cream provides relief to individuals suffering from dermatitis and other dry skin conditions by softening, moisturizing, and rejuvenating irritated skin.

Arthritis:
Because Manuka Honey has natural anti-inflammatory properties, it can be used as a natural pain reliever by reducing the inflammation associated with joint and muscle pain. Anything that is applied to the skin is absorbed into the body. Manuka Honey has a way of diffusing deep into the skin, getting to the effected area. The result is a natural anti-inflammatory action which combines with the body's defense and support systems, improving circulation and nutrients to the joints while removing waste and preventing infections. The natural anti-inflammatory agents found in Manuka Honey are glucosamine and Chondroitin sulphate, which stimulate the body's manufacturing of cartilage components necessary for joint repair and assist in the reduction of pain and inflammation. Honeymark's Pain Relief Cream is effective on back, neck and shoulder pain as well as providing relief for pain associated with arthritis and sprains.

Infected Wounds:
Manuka Honey's main claim to fame is its extremely powerful antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. Research has proven that Manuka Honey promotes healing. Bacteria cannot survive in an environment with Manuka Honey because of its acidity. Even hard-to-heal wounds and antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria have not been able to fight the healing powers of Manuka Honey as it's been effective in destroying MRSA and healing Staph infections. The presence of hydrogen peroxide and other antibacterial properties make Manuka Honey a powerful infection-fighting agent. Unlike many other topical antiseptics, Honeymark's First Aid Antiseptic Lotion causes no tissue damage because the hydrogen peroxide in Manuka Honey is exists in a slow release manner. In addition to being extremely effective in treating wounds, this product can also be used on burns.

Ringworm:
Fungal infections are caused by microscopic organisms that can live on the dead tissues of the hair, nails and outer skin layers. Studies have shown that Manuka Honey contains antifungal properties which make it effective in treating ringworm and other fungal conditions such as athlete's foot, jock itch and nail fungus. Honeymark's Anti-Fungal Solution is effective in treating these fungal infections.

The Honeymark Advantage:
The advantage of using Honeymark products over plain Manuka Honey is that, in addition to Manuka Honey being expensive and hard to come by, like all honey, it’s sticky and not particularly desirable to use on the skin. Honeymark blends Certified, Active UMF Manuka Honey into its medicated creams and lotions for a comfortable and user-friendly application. There are also other ingredients in their products that are essential in treating the various symptoms. Since Honeymark is a U.S.-based company, shipping is easier, faster and less expensive that ordering Manuka Honey directly from New Zealand.

"Manuka Honey is gaining its well-deserved recognition as a natural healer," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "Even doctors and other medical professionals that are normally hooked on the use of pharmaceuticals and frown upon natural alternatives seem to be recognizing that the healing properties of Manuka Honey can't be ignored."

Apitherapy and the Medical Use of Honey

Honey is being used as a viable alternative to pharmaceuticals and more traditional forms of medicine due to its powerful healing properties.

The term Apitherapy refers to the use of bee products, such as honey, for medical purposes. Honey has been used for medicinal purposes for many years as a natural alternative to pharmaceuticals and has been successful in treating a variety of different symptoms from infected wounds to eczema. One particular type of honey known as "Manuka Honey" has been proven to have more healing properties than other types of honey. As a result, Manuka Honey is now being used as a main ingredient in some health care products.

There are many benefits to using Manuka Honey for medical purposes. It's antibacterial and antimicrobial properties are capable of destroying bacteria and clearing infection. It's anti-inflammatory properties are effective in relieving pain associated with arthritis, wounds, muscle stiffness and joint complications. Manuka Honey has even been found to have strong anti-fungal properties which makes it effective in eliminating ringworm and other fungal conditions such as athlete's foot, jock itch and nail fungus. Manuka Honey's healing properties are so powerful that it is even being used to successfully destroy MRSA and heal Staph infections where antibiotics have failed.

Like all types of honey, Manuka Honey contains hydrogen peroxide, which has been used as an antiseptic. However, with Manuka Honey, the hydrogen peroxide is present in a slow-release manor which prevents any damage to the skin. In addition, Manuka Honey has another antibacterial compound which has become known as the Unique Manuka Factor. It is believed that this molecule comes from the nectar of the flowers that grow on the Manuka bush, which is indigenous to New Zealand. The honeybees take this nectar back to their hives where they produce this special type of honey.

Honeymark International is a manufacturer of advanced health care products containing Active Manuka Honey as a healing agent. Honeymark imports Manuka Honey from New Zealand and blends it into their medicated creams and lotions. "We recently had a customer who had a severe wound on his leg that wouldn't heal," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "He was under the supervision of several doctors at a wound care center who had tried a variety of different wound dressings to no avail. They even tried to keep his leg in a hyperbaric chamber. It wasn't until they used our First Aid Antiseptic Lotion with Manuka Honey until they started to see results. One week later the wound had healed significantly and by the second week, it had been completely manageable."

Stories like this are becoming more common as Manuka Honey gains its well-deserved recognition as a natural healing substance. Honeymark products can be purchased over-the-counter without a prescription. For more information or to purchase Manuka Honey products, call 1-866-427-7329 or visit www.HoneymarkProducts.com.

Natural Pain Relief for Arthritis and Backaches

A special type of honey known as "Manuka Honey" has been found to have extremely powerful anti-inflammatory properties and is now being used as a natural form of Pain Relief.

Arthritis is a painful condition involving damage to the joints of the body. It is the leading cause of disability in people over the age of 50. There are different types of arthritis, each of which caused by different elements. The most common form of arthritis, known as osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease and is a result of trauma to the joint, infection of the joint or age. Millions of people are affected by this condition, approximately 20 million in the U.S. alone. The symptoms tend to worsen with age. Proper treatment is essential to slowing the progression.

Other types of arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis are autoimmune diseases in which the body attacks itself. Septic arthritis is caused by joint infection. Gouty arthritis is caused by deposition of uric acid crystals in the joint which causes inflammation.

Relief from arthritis and other forms of muscle and joint pain and inflammation can be found in some non-prescription medications, natural remedies and other over-the-counter products. Natural treatments and alternative medicine can serve to complement more traditional arthritis therapies. There is a particular type of honey that is now being used to treat arthritis due to its anti-inflammatory properties. When used as a topical analgesic, Manuka Honey can be very effective in relieving pain.

Like all types of honey, Manuka Honey is sticky and not a particularly user friendly substance to use on the skin. However, a manufacturer of health care products called Honeymark has a Pain Relief Cream that contains Manuka Honey and other ingredients that are effective in relieving pain. This product can be applied to affected areas without the messiness and stickiness of using raw Manuka Honey.

"Manuka Honey has the ability to diffuse into the depths of skin tissue, getting to affected areas of muscle or joint pain," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "In addition to being an effective treatment for arthritis, our Pain Relief Cream can also be used for backaches, muscle strains, joint and muscle stiffness and other aches and pains."

Using Manuka Honey to Treat Eczema

A special type of honey has been found to heal damaged skin and eliminate the symptoms of eczema and other forms of dermatitis.

Eczema is a form of dermatitis or inflammation of the skin. Symptoms of eczema and other types of dermatitis include dry skin, rashes, redness, itching, crusting, flaking, blistering, cracking, etc. These types of skin conditions can be extremely frustrating to the individual suffering from them and extremely difficult to treat. There are many products that can be purchase over-the-counter to treat these symptoms. However, finding one that works can be challenging.

Anti-itch products can be used to treat eczema and other skin irritants. The reduction of the itching sensation associated with eczema can reduce the tendency for scratching, which in turn, reduces damage to the skin and skin irritation. There are other agents that act on nerve transmissions, and have been found to minimize itching and provide some relief.

Research has shown that there is a particular kind of honey known as "Manuka Honey" that contains powerful healing properties that are effective in treating eczema. Scientists have discovered that this type of honey not only heals damaged skin, but it also has the ability to regenerate new skin growth. It has even been known to eliminate the dry botches formed by eczema, even in extremely severe cases. In addition, Manuka Honey also has strong antibacterial properties which helps eliminate infection when the protective barrier of the skin is destroyed by eczema. When the skin is dry and cracked, bacteria can easily penetrate the outer layer of the skin, causing infection. Manuka Honey's natural antibacterial and antimicrobial properties eliminate this concern.

Eczema can be exacerbated by dryness of the skin. Moisturizing is an important self treatments for sufferers of eczema. Keeping the affected area moistened can promote skin healing and relief of symptoms. Manuka Honey also assists in this area by providing a natural moisturizing effect. Additionally, Manuka Honey possesses anti-inflammatory properties that reduces inflamed skin.

Because of Manuka Honey's effectiveness in treating eczema, it is now being used as a main ingredient in a product designed specifically for reducing the symptoms of eczema. Honeymark's Anti-Itch Cream is being used by eczema sufferers with great results. Even patients that have tried many products unsuccessfully are now experiencing excellent results after using this product.

"Manuka Honey has an outstanding ability to moisturize, soothe and repair dry, cracked and damaged skin," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "Blended with other effective ingredients, Honeymark's Anti-Itch Cream provides relief to individuals suffering from dermatitis and other dry skin conditions by softening, moisturizing and rejuvenating irritated skin." In addition to being effective in treating eczema, this product can also be used on insect bites, poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac and psoriasis.

A Natural Antifungal Solution

Recent studies show that a particular type of honey known as "Manuka Honey" contains extremely powerful antifungal properties.

There are many different types of medication available to treat fungal infections such as ringworm, athlete's foot, jock itch, nail fungus, etc. These products are usually obtained by a doctor's prescription or purchased over-the-counter.

Antifungals products work by exploiting the differences between mammalian and fungal cells in order to destroy the fungal organism without dangerous effects on the host. Unlike bacteria, both fungi and humans are eukaryotes, which are organisms whose cells contain a distinct membrane-bound nucleus. Therefore, fungal and human cells are similar at the molecular level. This means it is more difficult to find a target for an antifungal medication to attack that does not also exist in the infected organism. Consequently, there are often negative side effects to some of these types of antifungal products. Some of these side effects can be life-threatening if not used properly.

At a time that people are losing faith in pharmaceuticals and gaining faith in natural alternatives, Manuka Honey presents itself as a viable option for treating these fungal conditions. Manuka Honey is a natural and organic substance that has been found to have no negative side effects when used for medicinal purposes. As a result, it's now being used as a key ingredient in an over-the-counter antifungal solution made by a company called Honeymark.

"Because Manuka Honey also has strong antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, it has been used as an ingredient in other types of products. However, Honeymark makes the only antifungal product that harnesses the extraordinary antifungal properties of Manuka Honey," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "In addition to containing Active Manuka Honey, our Anti-Fungal Solution also contains Tolnaftate which is another antifungal agent, making it extremely effective in treating a variety of different fungal conditions."
