Manuka Honey
Manuka Honey, produced in New Zealand by bees that pollinate the Manuka bush, is one of the most unique and beneficial forms of honey in the world.
Historically honey has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years, as it is one of nature’s richest antimicrobial sources. The raw unfiltered honey is a rich source of amino acids, B vitamins (B6, thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, and pantothenic acid), and minerals (calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and zinc). Manuka honey has a considerably higher level of enzymes than regular honey. These enzymes create natural hydrogen peroxide, methylglyoxal and dihydroxyacetone that work as antibacterial, which makes Manuka honey to be used ranging from healing sore throats and digestive illnesses, to curing Staph infections and gingivitis.
