Manuka Honey for the Treatment of Wounds

Doctors around the world are taking advantage of a unique type of honey that is indigenous to New Zealand called Manuka Honey because of its incomparable healing properties, particularly in the area of wound care.

Manuka Honey is derived from the nectar of the tea tree flower which grows wild throughout the pollution-free countryside of New Zealand. This amazing natural resource is gaining worldwide acceptance as a breakthrough wound dressing because of its exceptional ability to disinfect and heal.

There are hundreds of different types of honeys that are produced by bees around the world. Even though all types of honey contain some healing properties, mostly due to the presence of hydrogen peroxide, Manuka Honey is renowned for having the most medicinal compounds which sets it apart of the rest. Manuka Honey is known for having the following characteristics:

* antibacterial
* antimicrobial
* antiviral
* anti-parasitic
* antioxidant
* antiseptic
* anti-inflammatory
* anti-fungal

Because of these curative qualities, Manuka Honey is considered a viable treatment alternative to conventional medicines and has become a staple within the medical industry. Manuka Honey possesses all of the necessary qualities to be the perfect wound dressing. There are many components to wound care. Below are some key points that make Manuka Honey ideal for wound management:

1. Its antibacterial properties destroy harmful microorganisms that cause infection.
2. Its anti-inflammatory properties help to reduce pain.
3. It has the ability to repair damaged skin and regenerate new skin growth.
4. It creates a moist healing environment that allows new skin cells to grow flush with the surface of the wound, preventing deformity of the skin and scaring.
5. It eliminates malodor by destroying the bacteria that cause it.
6. It's effective in destroying antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria such as MRSA.
7. It's an all-natural substance that has been found to have no negative side effects.

One skin care manufacturer is now using Manuka Honey as a main ingredient in their products. Honeymark has developed a wound care product containing active Manuka Honey as a natural healing agent. Their First Aid Antiseptic Lotion has been used to treat serious conditions such as chronic wounds, skin ulcers, pressure sores, MRSA Staph infections and other hard-to-heal wounds where traditional forms of medicine have failed.

"We've taken the sticky mess out of applying Manuka Honey directly to the skin," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "Our First Aid Antiseptic Lotion is a formulation of wound healing ingredients combined with all of the healing benefits of Manuka Honey."

Honeymark's First Aid Antiseptic Lotion with Manuka Honey can also be used for minor cuts, scrapes and burns. For more information or to purchase this product, call 1-866-427-7329 or visit www.HoneymarkProducts.com.
