Benefits of Mānuka Honey

Mānuka Honey is one of the most unique and beneficial forms of honey in the world. In 1981, researchers in New Zealand discovered that Mānuka Honey has a considerably higher level of enzymes than regular honey. In the process, they identified Mānuka’s active agent, Methylglyoxal (MGO)—the measured concentration that determines the potency of the honey. Overall, Mānuka is highly anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-microbial, making it a great addition to any wellness ritual, health apothecary, kitchen pantry and beauty cabinet.

IMMUNITY

Mānuka has been proven to have efficacy against antibiotic- resistant microbes, promoting its healing powers against pathogens internally and externally. When sick, it improves sore throats, help soothe coughs and common cold symptoms. Mānuka also helps with acute sinus problems and allergies.

DIGESTION

Mānuka is wonderful for supporting the natural digestive microbiome. Because low stomach acid can come from overgrowth of bacteria, Mānuka is a great way to rid your body of those pathogens and keep the digestion flowing properly. This is because it contains oligosaccharides, which have a prebiotic effect on the gut and promote the proliferation of good flora.

BURNS AND WOUNDS

The Methylglyoxal within the honey create a natural hydrogen peroxide that works as an antibacterial. Mānuka can soothe inflammation and pain, and dress a wound at any stage. Lastly, it can stimulate wound healing time and repair white blood cells.

ORAL HEALTH

Looking to keep your teeth and gums healthy? Mānuka is the quintessential antidote. Because of its anti-bacterial and microbial properties, it can kill plaque and improve and prevent issues relating to tooth decay and gingivitis. It can easily be spread across gums and teeth, and since it’s non-toxic, can actually be swallowed with saliva.

ACNE, ECZEMA AND DERMATITIS

Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, Mānuka has extraordinary healing properties for skin conditions. It can reduce redness and heal congested or inflamed skin such as eczema or psoriasis. Additionally, Mānuka can be used for its anti-bacterial properties on the skin by oxygenating pores, which can draw out or reduce the amount of bacteria on blemishes. This can drastically improve acne- prone skin. Use our Mānuka Honey as an everyday face cleanser, face mask or direct spot treatment.

SKIN REPAIR + HEALTHY AGING

Mānuka is magical at repairing skin damage. It promotes skin regeneration, repairs cellular damage and lessens scarring. Studies show that the Methylglyoxal found in Mānuka Honey has been shown to increase and protect the production of collagen in the skin. Mānuka’s amino acids harmonize perfectly the pH balance ofour skin, helping us age gracefully. Extremely hydrating for the skin; helping to retain moisture, which is an important part of softening fine lines. Mānuka can be taken internally or externally for this reason.
