The origin of the nectar of the gods: Manuka honey 🌺

The Maori mainly use the leaves and bark of the Manuka tree to help treat colds and urinary tract infections. But Manuka is also used to aid the healing of sprains, fractures, and wounds.

It was not until the 1980s that the properties of Manuka honey were studied. Today, Manuka honey accounts for 0.09% of global honey production. This unique honey is universally recognized as one of the best in the world for health.
