what is manuka honey
Manuka honey is made from bees that forage the Manuka bush in New Zealand, Manuka Honey is certainly very special. The Manuka bush has a long history when it comes to herbal medicine and was used by native Maoris to help wounds heal. But the honey that the bees produced from the Manuka bush wasn’t really understood until much later and since then lots of studies have been conducted and scientists have been fascinated by the results.
Why use manuka honey
Manuka honey is now widely known to have such an array of health benefits that set it apart from other variations - which have a lots of pretty awesome health benefits themselves too! Manuka honey has long since been used to heal wounds, and many still use it for this purpose today. Manuka honey has been used as a natural antibiotic for centuries. Manuka has a natural substance called MGO (methylgloxal). It's said the higher the MGO content of the honey, the more active the antibacterial properties and healing properties.
why is it so expensive?
Manuka honey is graded according to its MGO content. That means that each jar produced is tested and certified so that you know exactly what you’re getting. The higher the MGO content, the higher the price… and the greater the anti-bacterial activity present within the honey.
