If you are one of the many people who do not like to use medicine and would prefer to utilize a more natural alternative, you will find the following information extremely valuable. One of the most medicinally effective natural ingredients in the world is honey.  Honey has been used for medical purposes for thousands of years, prior to the advent of modern-day medicine.  However, there are now many studies that suggest a particular type of honey, exclusively found in the New Zealand region, out performs most medication and contains far more healing properties than any other type of honey.  This unique, medical-grade honey is produced by bees that feed on the nectar of the flowers that grow on the Manuka Tea Tree which is indigenous to the clean, polution-free countryside of New Zealand.  It has been discovered that Manuka Honey can effectively treat and/or provide relief to a number of different health conditions including but not limited to the following:

• Ulcers
• Diarrhea
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
• Infections
• Gastrointestinal Disorders
• MRSA/Staph Infections
• Sore/Strep Throat
• Acid Reflux Disease
• Acne
• Cold/Flu Symptoms
• Ringworm
• Eczema/Dermatitis

There are many doctors and health professionals that feel the majority of all health conditions are caused by some type of infectious microorganism, such as virus, fungus, parasite or bacteria.  Manuka Honey is considered to be antimicrobial which means that it is capable of destroying most types of harmful microbes.  Therefore, it is safe to say that Manuka Honey is antibacterial, antiviral, anti-fungal and anti-parasitic.

Manuka Honey is able to combat these infectious microorganisms by drawing moisture out the cells, making it impossible for them to survive.  Even though Manuka Honey has a dehydrating effect on microbes, it has a very hydrating effect on the skin and is considered a natural moisturizer.  Since Manuka Honey is a natural ingredient, it has been found to have no negative side effects when used for medical or cosmetic purposes.

Infectious diseases that can be effectively treated with Manuka Honey include the following:

• Anthrax
• Diphtheria
• Ear Infections
• Urinary Tract Infections
• Respiratory Infections
• Meningitis
• Pneumonia
• Sinusitis
• Tuberculosis
• Pneumonia
• Dysentery
• Typhoid
• Boils and Abscesses
• Impetigo
• Carbuncles
• Gum Disease and Tooth Decay
• Rheumatic Puerperal and Scarlet Fever
• Cholera

Honey had been used for thousands of years, prior to the advent of modern-day medicine.  However, it has been discovered that Manuka Honey from New Zealand contains significantly more healing properties than any other type of honey. The medical benefits of Manuka Honey are primarily due to its ability to retain moisture and its natural, antibacterial properties. Manuka Honey is particularly known for its wound healing capabilities. The types of wounds that have been successfully treated with Manuka Honey are:

• Abrasions
• Amputations
• Abscesses
• Bed/Pressure Sores
• Burns (1st, 2nd, 3rd degree, chemical, etc.)
• Burst Abdominal Wounds
• Cervical Ulcers
• Cancrum
• Diabetic Ulcers
• Chilblains
• Surgical Wounds
• Septic Wounds
• MRSA/VRE
• Varicose Ulcers

Manuka Honey can be taken orally to treat internal health conditions or used topically on the skin.  When using Manuka Honey to treat internal conditions, it is recommended to take one teaspon of Manuka Honey before breakfast, lunch and dinner and a fourth time before bed.  Manuka Honey can also be spread on toast, fruit or mixed with cereal.  If you use Manuka Honey as a sweetener in tea, it is recommended that it be added right before drinking.  Manuka Honey's healing properties can be diminished if exposed to extreme heat over 160 fahrenheit.

Because Manuka Honey is comprised mostly of glucose and fructose, it does not pose a threat to the teeth or gums.  Tooth decay and gum disease can be caused by table sugar which is comprised mostly of sucrose.  Manuka Honey is also an excellent natural source of energy.

In comparison to most medicine, Manuka Honey taste better, costs less and is usually more effective.  If the thought of applying honey directly to your skin is not desirable, you may want to consider one of the following Manuka Honey skin care products:
