There is a special type of honey only found in the New Zealand region that naturally has incredible healing properties that most people are unaware of. Recent studies have confirmed the amazing results of utilizing Manuka Honey for medicinal purposes and its use is gaining popularity within the medical industry. Many years ago, people used honey to treat a variety of different types of medical conditions. However, with the advent of antibiotics, people started regarding honey as merely a home remedy. Now, recent studies have indicated that, in many cases, honey seems to be more effective than antibiotics. Manuka Honey is a special type of honey, only found in the New Zealand region, that has been known to possess incredible healing properties. The establishment by research that there are bioactive components in Manuka Honey, and the wide dissemination of this knowledge, has led to a general acceptance that it is a respectable therapeutic agent, and to a rapidly increasing uptake of its usage by clinicians as well as by the general public. The finding that there are multiple bioactive components involved in the therapeutic action makes it a much more attractive option to use this natural product rather than to attempt to identify individual active components and use synthesised copies. There are Manuka Honey products available to treat many different symptoms. Case studies have indicated that Manuka Honey has been successful in the treatment of the following conditions: Sore Throat, Acne, Blisters, Cold Sores, Scabies, Athletes Foot, Ring Worm, Rashes, Burns, Ulcers, Infections, Lice, Insect Bites, Nail Fungus, Dry Skin, Arthritis, Gum Disease, Herpes, Common Cold Symptoms, Eczema & Dermatitis, Wounds & Abrasions, Aches & Pains, Foot & Body Odor, Psoriasis, etc. Manuka Honey has an antibacterial activity, due primarily to hydrogen peroxide formed in a "slow-release" manner by the enzyme glucose oxidase present. Some honeys are no more antibacterial than sugar, while others can be diluted more than 100-fold and still halt the growth of bacteria. The difference in potency of antibacterial activity found among the different honeys is more than 100-fold. Active Manuka Honey's Unique Characteristics: Manuka Honey is the only honey available that is tested for its antibacterial activity. It contains an additional antibacterial component found only in honey produced from Leptospermum plants: what has been called the "Unique Manuka Factor" (UMF). There is evidence that the two antibacterial components may have a synergistic action.
