Let’s talk about it as we hear about it the most in our day to day life because of its antibacterial properties, and is known for its power in that area.

It is mono-floral honey and produced in New Zealand coastal areas from the flowers of the Manuka tree or New Zealand Tea Tree bush.

This rare, medium dark-coloured honey is favoured more for its health benefits than its medicine(y) flavour that some people find Manuka honey too "medicinal" in taste. Still, the intensity varies from source to source. It is an extremely effective treatment for wounds, acne/pimples and burns if used topically.

The fact that it is an exceptional antibacterial agent is supported by a variety of research. Its antibiotic power and lack of side-effects have the capacity of not causing resistance to well-known pathogenic bacteria which tends to resist conventional antibiotics.

  • It is mostly used to promote the healing of even diabetic ulcers.

  • It is capable of maintaining a damp, acidic environment that helps to heal and facilitate the development of new cells.

  • For the treatment of antimicrobial-resistant respiratory infections too, the strong antimicrobial activity of manuka honey is used.

When buying a jar of Manuka honey, it’s important to read the label carefully to check a few things to ensure you buy therapeutic and genuine Manuka honey.

Following things you need to know: – UMF® trademark (ranging from UMF5+ to UMF20+) – Name of New Zealand's producer – UMFHA license number and batch number
