Manuka Honey What is it Good For?

Science-Based Health Benefits of Manuka Honey

One of nature's best kept secrets, Manuka Honey, has been making headlines over the years. Unraveling its true God-Given potential to fight viruses, wound healing and so much more.

True, authentic Manuka is native to New Zealand. Leptopermum scoparium, commonly known as the Manuka bush, can only be found in New Zealand's untouched wilderness.

Manuka honey's science-backed antibacterial properties set it apart from traditional honey. The chemical component methylglyoxal (mgo) is the active ingredient that is held accountable for the antibacterial properties associated with Manuka Honey.

Rare New Zealand Manuka is a proud member of the Unique Manuka Factor Honey Association (UMFHA). Our manuka honey undergoes stringent testing protocols, giving you the assurance you need that you are choosing the right honey for your health and wellness journey.

Help calm a cough

The common winter cold and influenza are both caused by viruses. Scientific, research-based evidence supports the notion that Manuka honey can not only kill the virus but stop it from spreading throughout your system. In addition, when a viral infection takes your immune system down, the bacteria which was living in your body being managed by your immune system will wreak havoc in your system if left untreated. These are referred to as 'opportunistic secondary bacterial infections'. These types of infections can take root in the upper and lower respiratory tracts as well as in your lungs.
Eating Manuka honey regularly is a great way to help protect you from the cold and influenza by creating an inhospitable environment in your throat, mouth, and lower respiratory system for invading viruses, as well as the bacteria that can cause secondary infection.

    Aids wound healing

    The use of honey to aid in wound healing has been prevalent since ancient times. Manuka makes the perfect natural product to help in wound healing. Not only because of the antibacterial antioxidant properties but because it harbors a moist wound environment and a protective barrier, which prevents microbial infections in the wound. According to studies presented in pubmed, studies have shown that Manuka Honey can decrease the time wounds take to heal.
