Manuka Honey is traditionally known as an ancient luxury food and is often mistakenly disregarded as a homeopathic remedy. Historically, honey has been used as a folk remedy to cure smallpox, eye disease, sore throats and indigestion; its even been suggested as a form of contraception!!!
This may be enough to warrant a laugh at the medicinal properties of honey, however, new research has shown that certain forms of honey, such as the Manuka variety, holds many health benefits. In fact, it’s unique antibacterial properties and its usage as a treatment for both external and internal human ailments makes it ones of the world’s more valuable natural resources.
The UMF (or unique manuka factor) is a scale in which we are able to rate honey’s effectiveness of antibacterial action and its promotion of healing. A UMF of ten is the minimum a Manuka honey may have to be considered useful in its healing aspects – any Manuka honey with a UMF of ten or above is referred to as Active Manuka Honey.
Active Manuka honey applied to any external wound has been proven to promote healing better than conventional ointments and creams. Its antibacterial properties protects the wound from infection, and then acts as an anti inflammatory reducing swelling and discomfort. If this isn’t enough for you, it even reduces scarring.
Internally its benefits are many! The antimicrobial properties can soothe sore throats and also kill the bacteria causing them. Intake of the Manuka honey can alleviate stomach pain and also regulate intestinal functions alleviating both constipation and diarrhoea. Honey also contains antioxidants which are said to reduce the risk of cancer and heart diseases.
