There are many different types of honey, predicated on the floral source that it's made from.  Manuka Honey is a special type of honey that has been used to heal and cure a variety of symptoms and ailments for many years.  Even though Manuka Honey has been used as a natural remedy for thousands of years, recent studies have indicated that it has more healing properties than even antibiotics, making it an amazing natural resource.

While all types of honey have some medicinal value, Manuka Honey has been known to have higher antibacterial activity than other types honey.  The reason being is that it contains an additional antibacterial component found only in honey produced from the Leptospermum plant (indigenous to New Zealand) which has become known as the Unique Manuka Factor or UMF. 

The enzyme that produces hydrogen peroxide in honey is destroyed when honey is exposed to heat and light.  However, Manuka Honey is stable so there is no concern about it losing its healing properties in storage.  Manuka Honey provides a more potent antibacterial action, diffusing into the depth of infected tissues,  more so than the hydrogen peroxide from other types of honey.

Manuka Honey has natural antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiseptic, antiviral, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties making it one of the most valuable substances for treating a variety of different symptoms.  Manuka Honey has been known to treat health conditions such as Eczema, Psoriasis, arthritis, wounds, burns, insect bites, infections, ringworm, athlete's foot, etc.  Research also shows that Manuka Honey reduces malodor and heals without scaring.  Additionally, Manuka Honey is now being used to treat antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria, such as MRSA.  It is important to know that Manuka Honey is a natural, organic substance that has been found to have no known side effects.

Unique Characteristics of Manuka Honey

1.  Only Manuka Honey provides non-hydrogen peroxide antibacterial components.

2.  Manuka Honey’s antibacterial factor is unaffected by enzymes in the body that destroy hydrogen peroxide components.

3.  Manuka Honey is highly effective against antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.

4.  Manuka Honey maintains its potency even when diluted over 50 times as will happen when used on the body.

5.  Manuka Honey is unaffected by heat, light or aging.

6.  Manuka Honey does not require moisture or oxygen to be effective.

7.  Manuka Honey diffuses deep into skin tissue, making it possible to get to effected areas.

Antibacterial Properties of Manuka Honey

Manuka Honey has an antibacterial activity, due primarily to hydrogen peroxide formed in a slow-release manner by the enzyme glucose oxidase. Manuka Honey also contains an additional antibacterial component found only in honey produced from Leptospermum plants (more commonly known as the Manuka Bush, indigenous to New Zealand) which has become known as the Unique Manuka Factor or UMF. There is evidence that the two antibacterial components have a synergistic action. UMF is not affected by the catalase enzyme present in body tissue and serum. The enzyme that produces hydrogen peroxide in most common forms of honey becomes active only when honey is diluted. But UMF is active in full strength honey, which will provide a more potent antibacterial action diffusing into the depth of infected tissues.  Clinical trials have also concluded that the antibacterial potency of Manuka Honey is well in excess of that needed to stop the growth of MRSA and VRE. 

The viscosity of Manuka Honey provides a protective barrier to prevent wounds from becoming infected. Manuka Honey creates a moist healing environment that allows skin cells to re-grow across a healing wound flush with the surface of the wound, preventing scaring and deformity of the skin. In other words, If a dry scab forms on a wound, the skin cells can only grow across the wound deeper down where it is moist. Manuka Honey causes scabs and dead cells to lift off the surface of the wound, leaving a clean healthy wound bed in which re-growth of tissue can occur. Manuka Honey also stimulates the formation of new blood capillaries and the growth of fibroblasts that replace the connective tissue of the deeper layer of the skin and produce the collagen fibers that give strength to the repair. It stimulates the growth of epithelial cells that form the new skin cover over a healed wound. Manuka Honey thus prevents scarring and keloid formation, and removes the need for skin grafting even with quite large wounds.
