“If everything is honey and I am what I eat, I must be made of honey and life is very sweet,” said the fictional teddy bear Winnie-the-Pooh.
And it seems wise-old Pooh was on to something way more than just deliciousness.
The medicinal goodness of honey
Humans have used honey for health and healing for thousands of years.
In modern times its medicinal, antimicrobial and relieving properties continue to be uncovered.
A natural product formed from the nectar of flowers by honeybees, the golden goodness that is honey contains vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids and antioxidants that all contribute to its wellness benefits.
The special power of Manuka honey
Manuka honey is produced from the nectar of different species of leptospermum plants, native to both Australia and New Zealand.
It contains a heightened stable form of natural antibacterial activity, thought to be due to a naturally occurring chemical methylglyoxal (MGO).
Manuka honey can contain more than 70 times the level of MGO found in normal honeys.
The term “Manuka honey” has been used in Australia since the 1800s and a five-year study found that Australia produces some of the most active medical-grade high-potency antibacterial Manuka honey in the world.
