Manuka Honey is one of the most famous honeys in the world because of its medicinal properties, including:

• Antimicrobial activity – that is, the ability to kill superbugs (antibiotic-resistant bacteria and other difficult to treat microbes) that cause serious infections.
• Wound healing and anti-inflammatory activity.
• Gum infection and dry socket, which is an infection that can sometimes arise post wisdom tooth or molar removal.

There have been numerous research studies undertaken on Manuka Honey and now scientists are able to explain the reasons behind its medicinal power.

A natural compound called methylglyoxal (MGO) is responsible for much of the unique activity of Manuka Honey. There are various potencies of this special honey.

One of the most amazing things about the antibacterial activity of Manuka Honey is that although bacteria that cause serious infections can develop resistance from our modern antibiotics (which is how they become superbugs), they cannot develop resistance to the activity of Manuka Honey.
