Manuka Honey
Manuka Honey is well known for its exceptional health giving properties and has been used by the indigenous Maori people in New Zealand for centuries.
Manuka Honey comes from the nectar of the Manuka Bush (Leptospermum scoparium). This bush is indigenous to New Zealand and thrives in the wild, uncultivated lands of this pollution free environment.
What makes Manuka Honey so unique and effective is the level of antibacterial efficiency it has to fight bacteria, compared to a standard antiseptic and is being considered as an out performer to antibiotics and traditional forms of medicine.
Manuka Honey even tackles antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria which are a growing problem the world over and further studies have found that Manuka Honey contains very powerful antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiviral, antioxidant, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties, making it extremely effective in treating a wide variety of health conditions.
All honey contains hydrogen peroxide in varying levels. This is produced when the bee adds enzymes to the nectar. In honey, hydrogen peroxide is released in a slow-release manner that is strong enough to be effective in destroying bacteria but low enough to not harm tissue.
What makes Manuka different and so unique is that it contains plant-derived components such as methylglyoxal – this is referred to as the Unique Manuka Factor – this is, in turn what determines the strength of the Manuka Honey.
Research has shown that Manuka Honey provides an optimum germ-free moist wound-healing environment which supports and facilitates the natural healing of varicose and skin ulcers, diabetic ulcers, pressure sores, wounds, burns, boils, cracked skin, cuts and grazes.
In summary, Manuka Honey will rapidly clear all bacteria from sore throats to acne. It also diffuses deeply into the skin tissues so that it reaches deep seated infections. It also does not require oxygen, so it can remain effective even when smothered by wound dressings or in wound cavities. The osmotic effect of honey will also lift the dirt out of the wound bed.
Manuka honey also reduces scarring as the honey draws body fluids and nutrients to the wound area and so assists cell growth and prevents a scar forming as the wound is kept moist.
Apart from providing nutrients (vitamins, minerals and amino acids) to tissues, Manuka Honey also promotes more rapid healing because the honey stimulates tissue regeneration. Angiogenesis is stimulated new blood vessel growth giving oxygen and nutrients to the tissues. Fibroblast growth is stimulated by hydrogen peroxide. Epithelial cell growth is stimulated because these cells grow level with the skin so that no scab is formed and so there is no scarring and hypertrophication. Finally, in terms of rapid healing, the acidity of Manuka honey releases oxygen from haemoglobin new growing cells need oxygen. Honey stimulates the white blood cells.
Manuka Honey has attracted the attention of the medical and scientific community and is steadily becoming a favoured treatment in the cure for certain wounds and ailments.
