Manuka Honey

Manuka Honey

Manuka Honey has been found to have high antibacterial activity against a variety of bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus and epidermis, Streptococcus pyogenes and Enterobacteriaceae.

Manuka honey is the only honey available for sale that is tested for its antibacterial activity. It contains an extra antibacterial component found only in honey produced from Leptospermum plants that is referred to as the “Unique Manuka Factor (UMF)”, MGO (methylglyoxal) or NPA.

Manuka honey is derived from the Leptospermum tree that is native to New Zealand and Australia. The indigenous people from both lands have been using Manuka in their traditional medicines for centuries. In recent decades laboratory studies in both countries have identified
unique health and healing properties found only in some Leptospermum species in New Zealand and Australia. Today, following extensive clinical testing in Australia, New Zealand and other countries, the unique value of Manuka has been recognised worldwide. Manuka Honey is now sought after around the world for use in hospitals, burns units, family health care, digestive health care, beauty and skin care, veterinary practice, diabetes clinics and other specialistclinics and as a general health food.
