Mānuka honey is a special type of honey from New Zealand, made by bees that pollinate the Mānuka tree. It’s known for its rich taste and powerful health benefits.
Unlike regular honey, Mānuka honey contains a high level of methylglyoxal (MGO), a natural compound that gives it strong antibacterial and healing properties.
It helps fight infections, soothes sore throats, boosts digestion, heals wounds, and supports immune health. Many people use it as a natural remedy for various ailments.
You can eat it raw, mix it in tea, use it in skincare, or apply it to wounds. Its natural healing power makes it a great addition to both your diet and medicine cabinet.
Look for the UMF (Unique Mānuka Factor) rating. A higher UMF means more antibacterial strength. UMF 10+ or higher is ideal for health benefits.
It’s safe for most people, but diabetics should watch their sugar intake. Infants under one year old should not have honey due to the risk of botulism.
Purchase from trusted brands and check for UMF certification. Avoid cheap imitations, as genuine Mānuka honey is usually more expensive due to its rarity.
