Miraculous Healing Manuka Honey
By Suzi Franks
Here in New Zealand we have a secret, it’s called Manuka honey and it can heal our bodies both externally and internally, but thats not all, some honey when tested in the lab has been found to contain a second unique healing factor which enhances the uniqueness of this wonderful natural healing nectar. Manuka honey is a ‘mono-floral’ honey, meaning it’s made predominately from one flower, in this case it’s made from the delicate small flowers of the Manuka tree (Leptospermum scoparium) or Tea tree as some call it . Native to the shores of New Zealand, its a pretty low growing tree which has an abundance of tiny white or pink flowers in summer, and it’s wood is highly prized for its aroma and is used in wood fired pizza ovens or in the smoking of many food items, but it’s the nectar we are interested in today. Two Types of Manuka honey
According to New Zealand scientists, there are two types of Manuka honey; one is an ‘ordinary’ Manuka honey which contains a natural hydrogen peroxide antibacterial property, this is not unique to Manuka honey, it’s found in most honey’s. The second type is the special ‘active’ Manuka honey which contains a natural non-hydrogen peroxide antibacterial property, the scientists call this UMF, translated as the Unique Manuka Factor. The difference in the two honeys cannot be determined by taste, texture or color, to determine if the honey is active requires clinical testing and then the activeness’ is rated. Different strengths of ‘Active’ UMF
There are different 'degrees' of UMF activity and this is rated on a numbered scale:
0-4 UMF is not detected and therefore jut 'honey'
4-10 UMF is present in a 'maintenance' level only, so good for when all healing os completed and just tops up the bodies levels
10-15 UMF is present in 'healing' amounts
15+ UMF is present in super healing amounts and can be used to fight active bacterial infections or correct health issues, like stomach ulcers etc. What makes ‘Active’ Manuka honey special?
UMF, is a special property which inhibits the growth of certain ‘resistant’ bacteria’s, the most common being helicobacter pylori which is responsible for stomach ulcers, staphylococcus aureus and streptococcus pyogenes both bacteria’s cause nasty throat infections. The UMF property in active manuka honey has been found to fight these otherwise resistant bacteria’s with excellent results, the reason being it is resistant to heat and is slower to be broken down by the internal working of our bodies, therefore able to put up a stronger fight. Specific Uses for Active Manuka honey
A spoonful of active manuka honey daily is a good overall health tonic, but sometimes it can be used on specific problems and reduces the need for a ‘chemical’ ‘pharmaceutical’ antibiotic.
Stomach Ulcers:
Research has shown that active manuka honey inhibits the growth and kills off the helicobacter pylori bacteria which are commonly responsible for stomach ulcers. The ‘normal’ honey with hydrogen peroxide properties was not effective in this case. Wounds, burns and many skin irritation complaints:
Because of it’s increased anti bacterial qualities, active Manuka honey can be used directly on the surface of the skin to treat many skin conditions like acne or eczema which are often created by skin flora bacteria. It is also extremely effective in the treatment of a variety of open wounds, like burns, boils. It’s used extensively in the Health profession for treating infected leg ulcers, often infected with resistant bacteria’s like staphylococcus aureus or pseudomonas aeruginosa which have not been controlled with ‘pharmaceutical’ antibiotics. I personally cannot think of a nicer way to heal my body, internally or externally than the natural aromatic active Manuka honey.

Thank you for sharing this valuable information, Suzi.
I did some searching and found that manuka honey is available in the US.
Keep up the good work.
Best wishes.

I think it is, but don't go paying too much for it. I have been told it retails for $50 for a tiny pot. I could send you some for less than that:)
Excellent info... love honey! I was a beekeeper many years ago. We had clover, orange and avo. I wasn't familiar w/ manuka honey but I am now... thanks so much!
CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
I would love to talk with you about keeping a bee hive:) My next project, after planting Manuka, rosemary and lavender bushes as living hedges:)
Wonderful intel, Suzi, and I will put my Manuka honey in a yam shake, thank you! Just a cooked sweet potato blended with milk and ice and a teaspoon of your special honey. I also like it in what I call my longevity cocktail...1 tsp of honey and 1 tsp apple cider vinegar diluted to taste (it is an acquired taste  It is refreshing, alkaline, and kills the critters.
CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
Do you make Kambucha? also called Manchurian tea?? tastes like a very mild apple cider vinegar but much more beautiful and its made from tea and sugar??
The following is something I read on the internet. I have not tried it. All Natural Eye Wash Another method of helping the eyes get back to normal is using honey. Just put a drop or so of honey in the eyes and in a very short time you will notice an improvement. It burns like fire at first, but only for a few seconds: the tears soon wash it out. A friend of mine had a bad case of night blindness once. A lot of people were putting honey in there so he decided he would try it. A very short time after using honey, he was forced to drive home after dark. He had driven several miles when he realized that he could see just as well as he could in the daytime. That was several years ago, and he can still see well at night. He only used the honey about 10 days, and then got busy and forgot to use it again.
CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
WOW!! I would never think to put it into my eyes, not too sure about that:)
Hey Suzi great intel! I had my first Manuka Honey just about three months ago and must say I could feel the healing energy just holding the jar! It is a unique and wonderful taste that makes our standard honey seem way over processed! Keep up the great articles.
CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
It also has a strong distinctive taste, therefore, you don't need as much. I take a spoonful a day when I remember...can't wait to have my own supply:)
Wow... It slices. It dices... I've never heard of the stuff. I'm gonna have to look it up and try it.
Thanks!
Jim
Ok I want to buy some. Can someone post a link to a good place in the USA to buy this.
Brilliant educational intel, but ever since watching A Bee Movie I've been hesitant to steal honey from bees, besides I prefer my honey to have legs.

I found a place on the internet to buy it but it is very expensive. http://amzn.to/cn7NmH
