Uses for Active Manuka Honey

Active Manuka Honey is an effective natural remedy for a variety of health problems. The honey is sourced from the Manuka and tea tree bushes, plants native to New Zealand and Australia respectively. It contains medicinal properties that combat several strains of bacteria including the bacteria responsible for sore throats, tonsillitis, stomach ulcers and gastritis. When used externally, it also acts as a natural aid in healing wounds, burns, external ulcers and eczema. Unlike antibiotics, Manuka Honey has no known side effects; in appropriate cases, it is a safe, natural alternative to strong medications.

Healthy Digestion

The anti-bacterial properties in Active Manuka Honey have been shown to effectively combat the bacteria helicobacter pylori. This bacteria is responsible for many common digestive complaints, such as stomach ulcers, peptic ulcers and indigestion. Symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome are greatly reduced through the ingestion of Active Manuka Honey; the honey coats the stomach and intestinal tract when taken before a meal and helps normal digestion take place. Manuka Honey also treats acid reflux; not only does the honey help to heal the esophagus for long-term recovery, it also creates a protective barrier on the tissue for immediate relief from discomfort.

Immune Health

Active Manuka Honey can eliminate the need for harsh medications

Active Manuka Honey is a natural remedy for sore throats and colds. The honey's anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory characteristics destroy the bacteria streptococcus pyogenes, the chief cause of sore throats and throat infections. Ear and eye infections can also be treated using a solution of Manuka Honey and hot water, and applied carefully with an eye dropper. Active Manuka Honey is high in antioxidants, and serves as a general immune system booster, as well as a treatment for specific ailments.

Skin Health

Due its potent healing qualities, Active Manuka Honey is an effective treatment when applied directly to many skin conditions or wounds. Manuka Honey can prevent and treat fungal and bacterial infections of the skin, as well as help to prevent or limit scarification of abrasions, cuts and surgical wounds. Applied topically to skin ulcers, acne and eczema, Manuka Honey offers a natural treatment and eliminates the need for antibiotics or hormonal medication. Because Manuka Honey allows a moist healing environment while simultaneously treating infections, it is highly beneficial in the treatment of burns, and can greatly reduce scaring by allowing the body to heal more efficiently.

Tips

Only Active Manuka Honey--rather than regular Manuka Honey--contains the healing properties described above. Check all labels before purchasing to ensure Honey is genuine New Zealand Active Manuka Honey. All jars should be marked with a UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) number, between 10 and 20. Jars without this labeling are not genuine and do not have healing properties.
