Active Manuka Honey Information


2 Mar 2010

Active Manuka Honey is a medical-grade honey that is created by bees from flowers on the Manuka Tea Tree. This tree is grown in New Zealand. Manuka Honey has been proven to have astonishing healing powers. It provides relief from sore throats, strep throat, stomach ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, acid reflux disease, gum disease, gastritis, ringworm, burns, and infected wounds. It may be shorter to list things that this honey does not cure! People all over the world are beginning to recognize the marvelous curing powers that Active Manuka Honey provides.

Different batches of Active Manuka Honey have different UMF ratings. UMF stands for “Unique Manuka Factor”. A well branded antibiotic known as hydrogen peroxide is found in diluted honey. It also has been shown to have additional anti-bacterial activity in addition to hydrogen peroxide. This additional material has not been identified, so it is called UMF. The UMF rating in each batch describes the amount of anti-bacterial strength. The higher the number the better. The number differs from 10, 15, 20, 25, etc.

Dr. Peter Molan MBE investigated the ancient healing powers of Active Manuka Honey. He proved that different types of honey have different healing powers because of their natural hydrogen peroxide agents. When honey makes contact with body dampness the glucose oxidase enzyme discharges hydrogen peroxide. He found that the levels of hydrogen peroxide released fights off bacteria, but does not damage tissue. This is a miracle indeed.

Many tests proved that this honey slows down the growth of helicobacter pylori. This is the bacteria which causes stomach ulcers. Other honeys have no affect on helicobacter pylori.

This honey has even been proven to stop skin and eye infections. It is great for burns, eczema, and acne. The UMF property is more constant than other honeys when put on wounds. This honey nurtures and promotes tissue re-growth. The healing is extremely fast and there is very little scarring. The list for this magnificent honey just keeps growing.

Everyday we are learning of new diseases that this honey can cure.  You should always consult a physician before starting any new treatment.  Stop wasting money on expensive pharmaceuticals and try Active Manuka Honey.
