Manuka Honey for the Treatment of Wounds

Doctors around the world are taking advantage of a unique type of honey that is indigenous to New Zealand called Manuka Honey because of its incomparable healing properties, particularly in the area of wound care.

Manuka Honey is derived from the nectar of the tea tree flower which grows wild throughout the pollution-free countryside of New Zealand. This amazing natural resource is gaining worldwide acceptance as a breakthrough wound dressing because of its exceptional ability to disinfect and heal.

There are hundreds of different types of honeys that are produced by bees around the world. Even though all types of honey contain some healing properties, mostly due to the presence of hydrogen peroxide, Manuka Honey is renowned for having the most medicinal compounds which sets it apart of the rest. Manuka Honey is known for having the following characteristics:

* antibacterial
* antimicrobial
* antiviral
* anti-parasitic
* antioxidant
* antiseptic
* anti-inflammatory
* anti-fungal

Because of these curative qualities, Manuka Honey is considered a viable treatment alternative to conventional medicines and has become a staple within the medical industry. Manuka Honey possesses all of the necessary qualities to be the perfect wound dressing. There are many components to wound care. Below are some key points that make Manuka Honey ideal for wound management:

1. Its antibacterial properties destroy harmful microorganisms that cause infection.
2. Its anti-inflammatory properties help to reduce pain.
3. It has the ability to repair damaged skin and regenerate new skin growth.
4. It creates a moist healing environment that allows new skin cells to grow flush with the surface of the wound, preventing deformity of the skin and scaring.
5. It eliminates malodor by destroying the bacteria that cause it.
6. It's effective in destroying antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria such as MRSA.
7. It's an all-natural substance that has been found to have no negative side effects.

One skin care manufacturer is now using Manuka Honey as a main ingredient in their products. Honeymark has developed a wound care product containing active Manuka Honey as a natural healing agent. Their First Aid Antiseptic Lotion has been used to treat serious conditions such as chronic wounds, skin ulcers, pressure sores, MRSA Staph infections and other hard-to-heal wounds where traditional forms of medicine have failed.

"We've taken the sticky mess out of applying Manuka Honey directly to the skin," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "Our First Aid Antiseptic Lotion is a formulation of wound healing ingredients combined with all of the healing benefits of Manuka Honey."

Honeymark's First Aid Antiseptic Lotion with Manuka Honey can also be used for minor cuts, scrapes and burns. For more information or to purchase this product, call 1-866-427-7329 or visit www.HoneymarkProducts.com.

Treating Acne with Manuka Honey

It has been discovered that a special type of honey found in New Zealand called Manuka Honey has natural healing properties which help to repair skin affected by acne.

Manuka Honey has been used as a topical agent to treat a wide range of skin problems, including infected wounds, burns, eczema, ringworm, etc. It has recently been gaining worldwide recognition for its ability to draw moisture out of bacterial cells, killing even the most resilient forms of infectious bacteria, including MRSA. It is now recognized that Manuka Honey also has the ability to draw impurities out of the skin, unclogging pores and clearing acne breakouts. It penetrates the blocked follicle, kills the bacteria that cause acne and helps to unblock the follicle allowing the built up infection to be released. This leaves a sterile clear follicle which heals quickly, reducing or even preventing scars from forming.

Independent studies have shown that Manuka Honey reduces inflammation and promotes the healing process. Unlike ingredients found in many acne products, Manuka Honey has a very hydrating effect on the skin. It is a known fact that hydrated skin heals better and faster than dry skin. Manuka Honey is regarded as a natural moisturizer. Since it's a natural ingredient and an anti-irritant, Manuka Honey doesn't aggravate sensitive skin, which is common among acne sufferers.

Manuka Honey is known for its effectiveness as an antimicrobial agent. This makes it useful for treating acne breakouts because it prevents bacteria from growing. The acidic environment of honey is not an ideal environment for bacterial growth. Honey is also low in protein which deprives bacteria of nitrogen, an element needed for bacteria to grow. With infection-causing bacteria eliminated, redness associated with acne is also eliminated. In addition, Manuka Honey's anti-inflammatory properties help to eliminate inflamed tissue that may be causing pain or discomfort.

A New York-based manufacturer of skin care products called Honeymark has combined the formulation of a powerful acne cream with the potent healing properties of active Manuka Honey. Honeymark's Acne Cream contains a medical-grade Manuka Honey that quickly goes to work on pimples yielding immediate results.

"Manuka Honey's antibacterial properties penetrating deeply into the epidermis, killing bacteria and relieving blocked follicles," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "The moist healing environment created by Manuka Honey allows new skin to grow flush with the surface of the skin which prevents scarring or skin deformity in more serious cases of acne."
