For many years, honey has been used for a vast array of ailments in various countries. Treatment involving honey is known as Apitherapy and heals the body in a natural way with natural ingredients. ?Pure Manuka Honey is sourced from New Zealand but is readily available from online health stores such as Green Bay Harvest.
Honey has been used by itself for ages to increase energy and bolster the immune system and to treat skin disorders. Honey has been used to cure yeast infections, athletes foot symptoms and cuts and burns. This is because of its great antibacterial properties. It also has anti-inflammatory components that work on ailments such as arthritis pain, as well.
Although honey is a great healer, and it tastes good besides, it does have a down side. The hydrogen peroxide in honey is the antibacterial component, which is low enough to avoid causing any damage. Hydrogen peroxide can be destroyed easily by light, water, heat or body serums. That is the case with regular honey.
Manuka honey is different, however, because it is stable and does not lose its antibacterial properties. The phytochemical factor that protects it, known as Unique Manuka Factor, or UMF, is unique in Active Manuka honey. This makes Manuka honey a more effective and stronger antiviral and antibacterial.
New Zealand is the only place where the Leptospermum Scoparium grows, the Manuka bush, and this is the origin of all active Manuka honey. The bees collect nectar only from the flowers on the Manuka bush, making it a mono-floral honey. The antibacterial activity of Manuka honey carries a grade between 5 and 25, with the higher number meaning it has stronger antibacterial properties.The grades represent potency with the lower grades having identical medicinal properties as higher grades but not in the same strength.
Because of the effectiveness and strength of active Manuka honey, buying the active kind guarantees the quality of the UMF. Also, buying the better quality means that it can be used sparingly and still provide the same results. The Active Manuka honey is very powerful for healing a variety of conditions because of its superior anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, antimicrobial, antiseptic, and antioxidant components. It also has more amino acids, minerals and vitamins than regular honey.
Manuka honey is safe for anyone to use because it has no known side effects. For anyone who does not like honey, the benefits are still available in the form of honey capsules, found in most health food stores.
