Manuka Honey Skin Care

Studies have found that one particular type of honey contains extraordinary healing properties, making it an ideal ingredient in various skin care and wound care products.

There's a new area of medical research and it focuses on an edible item that has been around for a very long time. This all-natural substance that is being studied for medical use is honey, but not necessarily the kind of honey you would buy in a supermarket. This type of healing honey is known as Manuka Honey, and experts are saying that it can relief a host of ailments.In laboratories all around the world, researchers are working relentlessly on new medical treatments. As it turns out one of the most promising is Manuka Honey.

Medicinal uses for honey go back 5000 years to the ancient Egyptians and Greeks. However, honey is generating new interest these days as the science of its healing powers catches up to its folk legend. Honeymark International of Long Island, NY is having success with its line of Manuka Honey-based health care products. Honeymark products are made with Manuka Honey, which is a particularly potent type of honey that comes from New Zealand region and is known for its healing ability. Manuka Honey can do what an increasing number of modern antibiotics cannot, which is stop drug-resistant super-bugs such as MRSA and VRE.

"Manuka Honey accelerates the healing process in wounds and burns," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "It does this by sucking the moisture out of the cells of the bacteria and then they can't function." Wound care dressings containing Manuka Honey, such as the ones manufactured by Honeymark, are particularly effective in hard-to-heal wounds that are unresponsive to other forms of medication.

Manuka Honey contains vitamins and other useful components that contribute to its effectiveness, such as copper, iodine, zinc, enzymes, hydrogen peroxide, etc. The healing power of honey doesn't end there. Manuka Honey has been effective in treating symptoms such as eczema, arthritis, ringworm, athlete's foot, acne, etc.

Buonanotte emphasizes that the honey sold in supermarkets does not have the healing properties that are found in Manuka Honey. This is because standard honey is filtered and boiled to prolong the shelf life, not to mention that commercial honey just doesn't have the same antibacterial components that are found in Manuka Honey. If your worried about the sticky mess of using honey topically on the skin, Honeymark makes medicated creams and lotions that contain Active Manuka Honey.
