The health benefits of Manuka honey
According to doctors, Manuka honey’s high sugar content creates a waterless environment in which the bacteria that are infecting a wound are unable to survive.
Also, thanks to the presence of an enzyme called glucose oxidase, it is acidic, which apparently adds to its unique antibacterial properties.
Manuka honey has long had a reputation as a “healing” honey and, because it comes from bees that have been busy pollinating the Manuka trees that grow almost exclusively in the East Cape region of New Zealand, it has rarity value. This makes it expensive.
Raw 20+Manuka Honey – this is a potent honey with superior levels of activity.
It is recommended for direct application for wound healing, such as burns, ulcers, pressure sores, staph infections proving to be effective against MRSA (MRSA is a type of bacterial infection that is resistant to a number of widely used antibiotics.
This means it can be more difficult to treat than other bacterial infections. Perfect for digestive health, where smaller amounts of honey can be consumed due to its potency.
