Manuka Honey: New Zealand bees and the historic tea tree working together

Honey has been known for its healing properties for thousands of years. Ancient Greeks used it, and so have many other cultures through the ages. Even up to the Second World War, honey was being used for its antibacterial properties in treating wounds. But
with the advent of penicillin and other antibiotic drugs in the twentieth century, honey's medicinal qualities have taken a back seat. But, at least in NZ, that is changing rapidly, thanks to one New Zealand based researcher. Working in his Honey Research Unit at the University of Waikato, in the central North Island, biochemist Professor Peter Molan has identified one particular type of honey with extraordinary healing qualities.

Professor Molan has shown that honey from the manuka bush, a native of New Zealand, has antibacterial properties over and above those of other honeys. All honeys contain hydrogen peroxide produced from an enzyme that bees add to the nectar. However, according to Dr. Molan's research, in manuka honey another factor, not yet identified, adds to the anti-microbial activity. Dr. Molan has named this the unique manuka factor, or UMF, a measure of antibacterial efficacy. UMF is measured by comparing UMF manuka honey with a standard antiseptic (carbolic or phenol) in its ability to fight bacteria. The results are astonishing. According to Dr. Molan, there is a very broad spectrum of action against bacteria, fungi, protozoa. The Manuka Honey products we carry contain pure New Zealand Manuka Honey, determined by microbial tests to have a UMF of 15 or higher.
