The benefits of Manuka honey

Manuka honey has become a staple in herbal medicine thanks to its antibacterial and healing properties. It proves effective in all circumstances, but Manuka honey is primarily known for:

1. Protect against oral infections.
2. Fighting stomach aches.
3. Boost the immune system.
4. Its antibacterial properties.
   

It therefore possesses unique nutritional and therapeutic properties. Unlike other honeys, Manuka honey is rich in methylglyoxal (MGO) . The higher this level, the stronger the antibacterial properties.

The flavonoids in Manuka honey help fight skin aging. Applied as a mask, it cleanses the pores. It's an ideal beauty ally for treating inflamed pimples, reducing them, and promoting healing.

The Maori primarily use the leaves and bark of the Manuka tree to help treat colds and urinary tract infections . However, Manuka is also used to aid the healing of sprains and fractures, and to promote wound healing.

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

Manuka honey is more expensive than other honeys because its harvest is limited and it must be stored under very specific conditions. Its high price is also due to the fact that it is imported from New Zealand.

This exceptional honey seems to have only good sides, however, people allergic to bee stings should be careful when consuming this honey.

This honey has a moderate glycemic index (54-59); for diabetics, its consumption is not prohibited, but should be moderated. Therefore, caution is advised, and a doctor should be consulted.

Its consumption is not recommended in cases of hypertriglyceridemia.

Providing energy and vitamins, Manuka honey can be consumed during pregnancy.

Like many other natural products, its effectiveness is proven by the experience of many people, but its use should not replace medical treatment.
