Raw New Zealand Manuka Honey: A Multitude of Uses

About Raw Manuka Honey Active 15+:

Manuka (Leptospermum scoparium) honey is made by bees who pollinate the manuka bush, a plant native to New Zealand. It has traditionally been used by the Maori people as a topical application for minor burns and wounds.

Manuka honey has been found to be rich in an antibacterial compound called methyglyoxal (MG), which may work synergistically with the honey's natural antioxidant properties to support wound healing and tissue health.

Like other honeys, manuka honey may be used to flavor food and drinks. It does have a stronger flavor due to the high activity 15+ rating, which indicates the high MG level, or possible antibacterial activity. This potency is maintained even after boiling or heating.

Possible benefits of this 15+ active, organic, raw manuka honey include the following:

• Natural antibacterial properties may support healthy bacterial balance in the stomach
• May be used as a healthful flavoring for hot or cold beverages. Retains its antibacterial properties even when heated.
• May help soothe minor burns and skin irritations

• May help soothe minor wounds and enhance natural wound repair processes
