Manuka Honey

On order Manuka Honey

Speaking of antibacterial agents, manuka honey is revered for its power in that area. This rare, dark-colored honey, produced in New Zealand from the flowers of the Tea Tree bush, is favored more for its health benefits than its medicine-y flavor (although some say it’s an acquired taste).

Studies have shown that makuna honey is an extremely effective treatment for wounds, and the FDA has actually approved its use for that purpose. The honey is often used to promote the healing of burns and even diabetic ulcers, because of its antibacterial properties and its ability to maintain a moist, acidic environment conducive to healing while promoting the formation of new cells. Other uses for manuka honey include the reduction of inflammation in IBS and ulcerative colitis patients, those with acne, and potentially, patients with cystic fibrosis. The honey is commonly suggested by naturopathic heaters to treat sore throats and to maintain good oral health.
