Comvita Manuka Honey UMF 5+ 500gm

Manuka honey, produced in New Zealand by bees that pollinate the Manuka bush, is one of the most unique and beneficial forms of honey in the world. There are many Manuka honey uses that range from healing sore throats and digestive illnesses to curing Staph infections and gingivitis.

Manuka honey differs from other types of honey because of its bioactive properties. It contains dietary methylglyoxal, which forms naturally in the manuka flower's nectar and is said to give the honey its healing properties.

The Maori people of New Zealand used Manuka as a medicinal plant, from treating fevers and colds to sedatives and early European settlers called it the "tea tree".
