Honey was used to treat infected wounds as long ago as 2000 years before bacteria were discovered to be the cause of infection. This NZ HONEY is a traditional topical treatment for infected wounds and it can be effective on antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. Honey is produced from many different floral sources and its antibacterial activity varies with origin and processing. Research has shown that ACTIVE MANUKA HONEY has the highest levels of antimicrobial action against a broad spectrum of bacteria and fungi. There are now many published reports describing the effectiveness of MANUKA HONEY UMF in rapidly clearing infection from wounds, with no adverse effects to slow the healing process. There is also some evidence to suggest that UMF HONEY may actively promote healing.
ACTIVE MANUKA HONEY INTERNAL USES:
ACTIVE MANUKA has also been used successfully, when taken orally, on digestive problems, from diarrhea and indigestion to stomach ulcers and gastroenteritis. MANUKA HONEY healing properties appear to be due to the presence of the enzyme glucose oxidase, which produces hydrogen peroxide — an antiseptic — and its high sugar concentration, which inhibits bacterial growth.
UMF HONEY below UMF 10 is recommended for maintaining general health and good digestion. For the MEDICAL USE OF MANUKA HONEY for indigestion, heartburn and diarrhea we recommend UMF10 to UMF15. UMF MANUKA HONEY UMF20 can treat gastroenteritis, stomach/peptic ulcers, duodenal ulcers, esophagus ulcers, acid reflux heartburn, Irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, H. pylori and up-set stomach. To treat these conditions take one teaspoon of UMF ACTIVE MANUKA HONEY 3-4 times a day. It is best to be taken on a small piece of bread or toast 30 minutes before breakfast, lunch, dinner and before going to bed.
