You may have heard that honey has health benefits, but did you know that certain types of honey can even help heal wounds?
In fact, Manuka honey from New Zealand does much more than that. According to Healthline, the antibacterial abilities of Manuka honey include “healing cuts and scrapes, clearing infections, easing stomach aches, improving digestion, boosting the immune system, and providing energy.” It has also been proven to aid in clearing acne and healing sore throats.
In fact, in 2007 the United States FDA approved Manuka honey as an official (and research-backed) option for wound treatment. Various studies on Manuka honey and wound healing have found that the acidic properties help heal wounds by drawing fluid out of the wound, and water out of the bacteria, so that the wound can heal quicker and more efficiently. This Healthline article goes into more depth on the various studies performed on Manuka honey and wound treatment, but out of all the studies listed Manuka honey always helped the wound to heal faster and with less pain than those who healed without it.
In most circumstances, Manuka honey is best used along with traditional wound care or healthcare treatments. This combination can significantly aid in faster healing as the combined properties of natural and modern medicine work together on the wound.
Other than wound care, Manuka honey can help boost your immune system, help with digestion, and provide increased energy. Here at Tupu Noa, we utilize the healing and reformative Manuka honey properties to ensure you get the highest quality of care for your body from our products.
It seems like Manuka honey does it all. It can be eaten or spread on the skin, but Health.com does caution that it is a different consistency than usual honey with a thicker and more crystalline spread, and that Manuka honey should be avoided for those with diabetes, as it has a high sugar content.
