Raw Manuka Honey Uses & Benefits

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
  • Rosacea
  • Candida
  • Chapped Lips
  • Cancer
  • Pregnancy
  • General Wounds
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. 

It 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.

Using Manuka Honey For Skin Care


Our hectic lifestyles and the stress in our lives can leave us with less than desirable skin.  We quickly can lose the glow we once had when we were younger and life wasn't quite as complicated.  Stress also can be a cause of dreaded acne, no matter what your age.

There is great news for you if you find yourself looking for a skin care product that can erase the years off of your skin or to get rid of acne or other skin problems.  Combine active UMF 20+ manuka honey cream and seaweed skin care and you have a remarkable formula for beautiful skin.

Honey has been known for its healing benefits since ancient times.  Manuka honey cream is made from honey that comes from bees that gather nectar from the Manuka bush found in New Zealand. The benefits of this honey standout from other honey because it has powerful antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. It also has anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory benefits.

My husband has type 1 diabetes.  You may or may not know that diabetics are slow to heal when they have a wound. About a month ago, he got a wound on his outer elbow after falling off of a ladder. Then after falling on the elbow during a bike ride, the wound got dirty and began looking infected. I had him apply my active manuka honey cream and in two days the wound was just about healed. I’ve never seen him heal so fast before. No wonder it does wonders for my facial skin.

Seaweed skin care secrets need to be experienced by more people.  The nutrients in seaweed - vitamins, mineral, amino acids, and enzymes work together to form collagen. Collagen is a necessary protein to keep the connective tissues of the skin strong and healthy.  

Collagen is one of those things we lose as we age. When our seaweed skin care product combines with manuka honey cream it helps our skin to produce more collagen so we can win the battle against wrinkles and fine lines.   That’s a product I want more of and that's the beauty of Manuka Sea Magic.

The active ingredients in Manuka Sea Magic are potent enough to do the following:
  • Effective in healing blemishes, acne, and serious skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis
  • Antioxidant rich to fight free radicals that cause skin damage
  • Promotes collagen production to prevent wrinkles and fine lines
  • Nourishes and prevents dehydration of skin for smoother softer skin
  • Stimulates the growth of tissue involved in the healing process
  • Contains antiviral, antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiseptic, and anti – inflammatory properties
  • Helps prevent sunspots (also called age spots), fungal infections and dermatitis
  • Helps to improve the elasticity of the skin for a more attractive, less wrinkled skin tone
