Manuka Honey, Nature's Medicine

Manuka Honey is a medicinal honey produced by bees that utilize the nectar from the flowers of the Manuka bush, indigenous to New Zealand. It contains a specific antibacterial compound known as the Unique Manuka Factor or UMF, which has been found to heal a plethora of medical conditions. It is deemed medicinal because of its healing properties. Only a small area in New Zealand produces this specific nectar, which has the healing properties relative to this honey. The bees forage only from a very small and specific area in this region. Honeybees generally don't travel more than two miles from the hive, otherwise their wing muscles tire out. Therefore, the beekeepers can control the plant areas in which the bees collect their nectar. Manuka Honey is a mono-floral honey, meaning that the bees only use the nectar of this one particular flower to produce the honey.

Honey has been used for its healing powers for thousands of years. Prior to the advent of antibiotics and other traditional forms of medicine, honey was utilized for its antibacterial properties to treat wounds and other health conditions. Since most modern doctors are now trained to believe in pharmaceuticals, honey has now taken somewhat of a back seat to traditional medicine. However, Dr. Peter Molan, a biochemist from New Zealand, has discovered an amazing factor in Manuka honey that is different than all other types of honey.

Manuka Honey's unique antibacterial activity are due to several factors:

1. Osmotic Effect - Bacteria do not have enough water to form because Manuka honey combines its sugar with water and bonds strongly together, leaving bacteria without a sufficient water source necessary for growth.


2. Acidity Component - Manuka Honey has an acidity level of pH 3.2-4.5. Bacterial growth occurs between pH 7.2-7.4.


3. Hydrogen Peroxide - When Manuka Honey comes in contact with the sodium present on the surface of the skin, a chemical reaction occurs, producing low levels of hydrogen peroxide, which destroys infectious bacteria.


4. Phytochemical Component - The Unique Manuka Factor reacts together and enhances the other antibacterial factors and works synergistically to destroy infectious bacteria.

Manuka Honey can be taken orally to provide relief to a number of internal health conditions. It's sweet and it tastes great. It is dark in color and has a thick, caramel-like consistency. To achieve and maintain good digestive health, take 3 to 4 teaspoons per day before meals. You can use Manuka Honey to alleviate sore throats, cold/flu symptoms and Tonsillitis. Manuka Honey has been tested on Helicobacter Pylori, the bacteria that causes most stomach ulcers, and found to be effective. Not only does it eradicate the bacteria but it also heals the inner walls of the stomach that were damaged by the bacteria. Manuka Honey is also used for Dyspepsia, Peptic Ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, heartburns, Acid Reflux Disease, gastritis, etc.

In addition to its internal uses, Manuka Honey can also be used topically on the skin to treat burns, pressure sores, boils, skin ulcers, wounds, acne, eczema, ringworm, etc. In these cases, apply Manuka Honey (or a skin care product that contains Manuka Honey) directly to the affected area 1-2 times per day. Manuka Honey has the ability to diffuse deeply into skin tissues, drawing dirt out of wounds by osmosis. It reduces scarring, stimulates tissue regeneration, forms a protective barrier over the wound, nourishes skin tissue growth and repairs damaged skin.

The Impressive Health Accolades of Manuka Honey

Indigenous to New Zealand, this natural healing agent helps to maintain good health, even when other treatment solutions have failed.

Doctors all over the world are perplexed by the amazing healing ability of Manuka Honey. This medical anomaly is gaining worldwide recognition as a viable treatment alternative to antibiotics and other forms of medication. Recently, Manuka Honey has been gaining its well-deserved notoriety because of its capability of eradicating the MRSA bacterium which is responsible for causing life-threatening Staph infections that don't respond to antibiotics.

Manuka Honey is different than other types of honey due to the presence of plant-derived floral components that contain extremely powerful antibacterial properties. These medicinal compounds, in most cases, outperform many pharmaceuticals and traditional forms of medicine. With the general public becoming increasingly more interested in alternative medicine, this natural healing source could become very popular in the years to come.

Manuka Honey has many uses, both internally and topically on the skin. Since Manuka Honey is antibacterial, anti-fungal and antiviral, it can be used to effectively treat health conditions caused by bacteria, a fungus or a virus. Therefore, Manuka Honey can be used for stomach ulcers (H. pylori), infected wounds, ringworm, cold and flu symptoms, etc. It's also been known to act as a "last-resort" treatment when all else fails.

Other common uses include the treatment of acne, eczema, gastrointestinal disorders, acid reflux disease, sinus infections, irritable bowel syndrome, etc. Research has shown that no bacteria has been able to develop a resistance to Manuka honey. There have also been now reports of any negative side effects from its medical use.

Antibiotics are indiscriminate killers. When taken orally, antibiotics kill all bacteria, both good and bad. There are some forms of bacteria that the body needs. The elimination of this good bacteria has a tendency to through the system off balance. Antibiotics are also notorious for causing other negative side effects as well. For reasons that are currently unknown, Manuka Honey does not effect good bacteria in the body and only destroys harmful, infectious bacteria. This is something that pharmaceuticals have not been able to accomplish.

For individuals that are against using antibiotics and chemical-based medicines, Manuka Honey offers a viable treatment option that works fast and effectively. For skeptics, Manuka Honey can safely be used in conjunction with the medicine their doctor has prescribed. However, most people who use Manuka Honey for medical purposes are convinced of its effectiveness immediately.

"Manuka Honey is nature's best kept secret," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "There are still many people who are unaware of its amazing healing capabilities. However, it is our prediction that more people will begin to recognize it in the near future." Honeymark manufactures medical, skin care and personal care products containing bioactive Manuka Honey as a natural healing agent.
