Skin Benefits and Uses of Manuka Honey

Uses of Manuka honey

Medicinally, Manuka honey is used to help treat minor wounds and burns because of its antibacterial properties.

Nutritionally, Manuka honey is an immune system-boosting powerhouse, packed with four times the nutrients of traditional honey, including amino acids, B vitamins, copper, calcium, iron, manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and zinc.

That makes Manuka honey an excellent post-workout snack to restore lost nutrients including sodium lost through sweat.

It also has been used to help support healthy cholesterol levels, manage acid reflux and other digestive disorders and boost energy.

Source and sustainability of Manuka honey

From the native forests of New Zealand, the bees drawn to the Manuka bush produce a honey that is rich in antibiotic properties that make the specialized honey one of the healthiest ingredients in the world.

While natives used the honey for centuries, Manuka honey garnered worldwide attention when Professor Peter Molan of the University of Waikato studied the honey in-depth to determine the many benefits the liquid gold’s antibacterial properties offered.

While Manuka honey is highly sought after – and many imposters have attempted to infiltrate the market – the honey is processed free from chemicals and is farmed using award-winning sustainable practices.
