What Makes Honeymark Brand Manuka Honey Better Than Others?

It is important to know what to look for in Manuka Honey in order to take advantage of all its health benefits. Not all Manuka Honey is medicinal.

Manuka Honey is world renowned for its extraordinary healing properties. Due to certain plant-derived components, this unique type of honey contains natural antibacterial, antiviral and anti-fungal properties not found in other types of honey. It also contains more vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants than ordinary honey.

Not all Manuka Honey is created equal. Manuka Honey's antibacterial potency varies from batch-to-batch, predicated on the amount of floral nectar used by the honeybees during the production stage. The only way to know for sure if a particular batch of Manuka Honey is active and suitable for therapeutic use is if it's laboratory tested.

Only active, UMF Manuka Honey will yield the same results that people have come to expect of Manuka Honey. UMF is an acronym for Unique Manuka Factor and is usually followed by a number which indicates the antibacterial strength of the honey. UMF is the authorized seal and registered trademark of the Active Manuka Honey Association in New Zealand. This trademark can only be applied to the label of honey with a laboratory test result of UMF 10 or higher.

Only Manuka Honey that is regulated by the Active Manuka Honey Association can bare the UMF trademark. A jar of Manuka Honey that is labeled as being "active" followed by a number does not provide a guarantee that it is as potent as advertised. For example, if the label indicates, "active 10", the number is borrowed from the UMF rating system but because the honey is not regulated by the Active Manuka Honey Association, that particular brand cannot legally use the UMF trademark. Therefore, it is unknown if the honey was laboratory tested for its antibacterial potency.

To be certain of the potency, a jar of Manuka Honey should indicate the UMF trademark and a number of 10 or higher (i.e. UMF 16). It's also important to know that in the U.S., the FDA does not regard honey of any kind as being active. If the label of a jar of Manuka Honey says, "active" it is in violation of FDA regulations.

Honeymark is an importer of Manuka Honey and a manufacturer of natural Manuka Honey skin care products. Honeymark brand Manuka Honey meets the following standards:

Don't Be Fooled by Cheap Manuka Honey

As this unique type of medical honey from New Zealand becomes more popular, knock offs continue to confuse consumers.

Most people are familiar with honey's ability to heal. In the old days, doctors used honey to treat wounds when other dressings weren't available and grandmothers have been healing sore throats with honey for ages. Honey derived from the Manuka plant, indigenous to New Zealand, seems to have far more healing properties than other types of honey. Manuka Honey has become a hot commodity as a result of medical reports proving its impressive healing qualities. It now being used to successfully treat stomach ulcers, acid reflux disease, irritable bowl syndrome, cold and flu symptoms, acne, eczema, bacterial and fungal infections, etc.

Manuka Honey's curative properties are due in part to it's antibacterial activity. Since Manuka Honey contains antibacterial compounds not found in other types of honey, it commands a higher price. This has consumers scouring the Internet in search of the best price for Manuka Honey. There are some retailers that sell inexpensive Manuka Honey. However, the quality of this honey is not what people have come to expect from Manuka Honey. The antibacterial potency can vary depending on the floral nectar component. This could make the difference between medical-grade honey and ordinary honey. It could also mean the difference between premium and cheap Manuka Honey.

There are a few infallible ways of determining if Manuka Honey is of medical-grade quality. At this particular time, Manuka Honey is produced only in New Zealand. Premium Manuka Honey should have a rating on the label that indicates its antibacterial potency. For example, UMF 16 is most desirable for medicinal use. Manuka Honey that is less potent may not be effective in treating medical conditions and Manuka Honey that is more potent may cause a burning sensation.

The UMF trademark indicates that the supplier is regulated and is required to perform laboratory tests on the honey to measure its antibacterial potency. There should also be a license number listed somewhere on the label. When the label merely lists a number without the letters "UMF" or just refers to it as "active", there is no assurance that it is truly medical-grade. In fact, in the U.S., the FDA does not regard honey of any kind as being active. Therefore, FDA regulations bar suppliers from referring to honey as being an active ingredient. Suppliers that indicate honey as being active on the label are in violation of FDA regulations.

In the near future, a new rating system may become standardized in the Manuka Honey industry. The Molan Gold Standard may soon replace the UMF rating system. These two standards are the only ones that should be trusted. If a jar of Manuka Honey does not say UMF or Molan Gold Standard on the label, you have no way of knowing if a laboratory test was performed to measure its antibacterial potency. Manuka Honey without these indicators are usually less expensive, as well as less effective. Don't be fooled by low cost Manuka Honey. It does not work the same as premium Manuka Honey.

"Choosing the right grade of Manuka Honey is crucial," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "Otherwise, the Manuka Honey you purchase might have no more healing properties than the ordinary honey you can find in your local supermarket. As always, you get what you pay for." Honeymark is the largest importer of Manuka Honey in the U.S. and a manufacturer of Manuka Honey products.

Doctors Find the Health Benefits of Manuka Honey to be Buzz Worthy

Medical professionals have discovered that a particular type of honey from New Zealand contains special healing properties that make it effective in treating many different types of symptoms.


Since the dawn of time, honey has been used for medical purposes. Honey is an ideal natural medicine, mostly because of its antibacterial properties. In the mid 1940s when antibiotics were invented, doctors assumed they were a better treatment option than honey. Even today, most western doctors are trained to believe in pharmaceuticals, not natural alternatives. However, with the dilemma of infections caused by antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria, the medical community is desperate for other solutions.

In addition to antibiotic resistance and an array of negative side effects, antibiotics have another downside. Antibiotics are indiscriminate killers, destroying as much bacteria in the body as they can. This removes the good bacteria along with the bad. The body contains intestinal flora that is necessary for normal functioning. Honey offers a better solution by destroying only the harmful, infectious bacteria and leaving good bacteria.

There are many different types of honey. Before you go digging through your food cabinet, it's important to know that some honeys have more healing properties than others. This is predicated on the floral nectar used by the bees that produced it. Manuka Honey from New Zealand has been found to have a significantly higher level of antibacterial activity than any other type of honey.

Even Manuka Honey should be chosen wisely. Only medical-grade Manuka Honey should be used for medicinal purposes. In the U.S., the nutritional supplements industry is not regulated by the FDA the way pharmaceuticals are. For example, you can go to a health food store to purchase a bottle of vitamins without knowing that they are only 10% potent. The same goes for honey. Unfortunately, the FDA onlhy regards honey as a food item, not a medicinal item. Therefore, there is no regulatory standards to measure the antibacterial potency of honey in the U.S.

However, in New Zealand where Manuka Honey comes from, a rating system exists. Manuka Honey with a UMF rating between 10 and 16 is ideal for medicinal use. Less than UMF 10 is not potent enough and more than UMF 16 is too potent and usually overpriced. A medium range is most desirable. Using Manuka Honey without an active UMF rating is not recommended.

When using an active, medical-grade Manuka Honey, it is possible to effectively treat conditions such as sore throats, strep throat, stomach ulcers, cold and flu symptoms, acid reflux disease, heartburn, irritable bowel syndrome, gastritis, etc. Manuka Honey can also be used topically on the skin to treat infected wounds, acne, ringworm, cold sores, pressure sores, skin ulcers, MRSA, etc.

Manuka Honey Soap by Honeymark

Manufacturer of Natural Manuka products delivers a luxurious bar soap containing coconut oil, palm oil and Manuka Honey from New Zealand.


Manuka Honey is produced in New Zealand by bees that utilize the nectar of the flowers that grow on the Manuka tree. It is believed that this unique floral nectar contains healing properties not found in other types of honey. These amazing healing qualities have made Manuka Honey quite a commodity.

Studies have shown that Manuka Honey does wonder for the skin. It has the ability to destroy bacteria, heal damaged skin, regenerate new skin growth, eliminate impurities, etc. Manuka Honey is also considered to be a humectant which means it has the ability to draw moisture from the air and lock it into skin cells. This makes Manuka Honey a natural moisturizing agent.

Manuka Honey has been used to treat a variety of skin ailments including acne, fungal infections (including ringworm, athlete's foot, jock itch, etc.), dermatitis (including eczema, psoriasis, etc.), burns, dry skin, bacterial infections (including MRSA, Staph, VRE, etc.) as well as other skin conditions. Using soap that contains Manuka Honey can not only help to treat any of these conditions but it can also help to prevent them as well.

Honeymark Goes All-Natural

The manufacturer of Manuka honey products has taken all synthetic and chemical-based ingredients in their products and replaced them with plant-derived, natural ingredients.


In an effort to keep up with the recent demands of their customers, Honeymark has undergone a major reformulation process, giving their entire line of Manuka Honey products a facelift. Nowadays, consumers are very label savvy and are much more educated about what ingredients are safer and more effective. Even though many of the synthetic or chemical ingredients that have been used in skin care and personal care products over the last few decades are perfectly safe according to the FDA, the consumer preference is all-natural.

The development of skin care products utilizing natural ingredients is no longer a think of the future. It is here in the present and these products are in big demand. Along with many other manufacturers that are jumping on the "clean and green" bandwagon, Honeymark has recognize the importance of producing products that are made from plant-derived materials. Most consumers that are aware of the natural healing properties of Manuka Honey are interested natural remedies, rather than their pharmaceutical equivalents. With the horrifying list of negative side effects that accompany pharmaceutical advertisements, it's no wonder that the natural products movement has hit the retail market so hard.

Manuka Honey is becoming world renowned for its ability to heal, treat and cure a wide variety of health conditions, both internally and externally. Manuka Honey is already recognized as the only natural treatment alternative to antibiotic-resistant infections such as MRSA and VRE. Now some medical professionals have reason to believe that its antiviral properties may even be effective against the Swine Flu (H1N1 virus).

"There is no natural substance on the face of the planet that has more impressive healing qualities than Manuka Honey," says Dr. Vincent Milano, Executive Director of the TriState Medical Center in New York. "Over-the-counter cold medication doesn't work. I always tell my patients to take Manuka Honey instead. I've even seen MRSA Staph infections healed within days after applying Manuka Honey topically to the affected area. In most cases, Manuka Honey outperforms prescription medication for certain health conditions."

Honeymark products include a First Aid Antiseptic Lotion, Acne Cream, Anti-Wrinkle Serum, Hand Sanitizing Gel, Anti-Itch Cream, Anti-Fungal Solution and a variety of other skin care products, all of which contain active Manuka Honey as a natural healing agent.

Future products include Manuka Honey Lozenges and Manuka Honey Capsules.

Himalayan Bath Salt with Manuka Honey

Honeymark launches a Bath Salt with genuine Himalayan salt crystals and Manuka Honey from New Zealand, both of which are well known for their rejuvenating properties.

There is a significant difference between table salt and Himalayan salt. Ordinary table salt predominantly consists of sodium chloride. When salt is dried, most of the trace elements that the body needs is eliminated, leaving a mineral that isn't particularly beneficial. However, Himalayan salt is a pure and totally natural mineral salt containing up to 84 minerals and trace elements, high in negative ions. It is mined by hand and stone ground, eliminating impurities.

Millions of years ago, the sun dried up the primal sea and left the mineral-rich crystals we know today as Himalayan salt. Located deep within the Himalayan Mountains, this crystal salt is the purest salt on the planet. Covered in snow year round, the pristine environment of the Himalayas protects the salt from the pollutants that often permeate salt from the sea.

Himalayan salt is the purest, all-natural, unrefined, cleanest and most complete salt available. Using Himalayan bath salt offers many positive health benefits. The trace elements that are present exist in a form that is easily absorbed by the skin. Himalayan salt does not contain any type of environmental toxins or harmful chemicals.

In addition to its purity, Himalayan Bath Salt contains all-natural replenishing power stored within its crystals. Its bio-photon content is stored energy that releases when mixed with water, rejuvenating both mind and body. Soaking in the bath salt draws out toxins, soothes muscles and eases tension. Taking a salt bath will also make your skin cleaner and smoother. In addition, salt baths have a healing effect on conditions such as athlete's foot, nail fungus, wounds, skin irritations, insect bites, sun burn and blisters. It also serves as a therapy to joint diseases such as rheumatism.

Most of us are conscious about our physical appearance, especially our skin. Unlike taking an ordinary bath which can actually remove moisture from our skin, a Himalayan Salt Bath moisturizes by allowing water to be absorbed into the outer layer of the skin. Himalayan bath salt has also been known to alleviate severe cases of dry skin disorders such as psoriasis and eczema.

Himalayan bath salt, contains 84 essential minerals, more than any other bath salt, including magnesium, potassium, bromide and calcium which are readily absorbed into the skin during a 15-30 minute bath.

Bath Salt Uses:

• Relieves stress.
  
• Helps the nervous system.
  
• Moisturizes skin.
  
• Relieves water retention.
  
• Promote cellular regeneration.
  
• Restores a healthy calcium balance.
  
• Stimulates circulation.
  
• Strengthens bones and nails.
  
• Promotes healthier skin.
  
• Reduces muscle and joint inflammation.

• Assists in the generation of hydroelectric energy.
  
• Promotes sinus health.
  
• Relieves muscle cramps.
  

When you take a salt bath, the salt minerals penetrate your skin in the form of ions. This stimulation will cause natural cell growth in your living cell layers. Bio-energetic weak points will be balanced and your body's energy flow will be activated. While anyone can benefit from a brine bath, it is particularly soothing for those with the following conditions:

• Various skin diseases
  
• Rheumatism and joint diseases
  
• A post-operative care regimen
  
• Gynecological diseases
  
• Bacterial or fungal infections
  
• Insect bites, blisters or wounds

Dead Sea Mud Mask with Manuka Honey

Honeymark launches a Mud Mask combining genuine mud from the Dead Sea and a premium honey from New Zealand, known as Manuka Honey, both of which are well known for their amazing ability to heal and maintain healthy skin.

It is easy to wonder if Dead Sea mud is nothing more than an expensive type of regular, ordinary mud. However, it's important to know that it is most definitely not the same. In fact, regular mud is dirty, unsanitary and contains high levels of toxins, such as lead and bacteria, which can have a damaging effect on the skin. On the other hand, Dead Sea mud is very useful for cleansing and purifying the skin.

Dead Sea mud is actually one of the most beneficial types of mud in the world. In fact, medical research has shown that mud from the Dead Sea can be used to cure a variety of different skin conditions. For example, Dead Sea mud is very effective for the treatment of acne, psoriasis, eczema, arthritis pain, fibromyalgia, muscle stiffness, joint inflammation, dry skin, etc. Even individuals who don't suffer from these conditions enjoy the benefits of applying Dead Sea Mud to their skin because it has a high density of both salts and minerals, which are ideal for keeping skin feeling healthy and youthful.

The Dead Sea is a very salty body of water, with a saline level between 28% and 35%. Even the world's saltiest oceans are only 3% to 6%. The Dead Sea's high mineral salt content is partly due to the fact that it is completely landlocked, so any water that flows into it from the Jordan River is trapped until it evaporates. Evaporation happens quickly because that particular region is extremely hot. When the water evaporates, the salty minerals are left behind, causing the remaining water to become concentrated with salt.

As the Dead Sea water evaporates, the salt and minerals get absorbed into the mud at the bottom of the sea. This mud is then extracted and packaged, with all the impurities removed. The minerals which are present in the mud are all natural minerals which your skin needs. By using Dead Sea mud, or a mud mask, you are basically feeding your skin the essential minerals that it needs to maintain proper moisture levels.

Medical research has now confirmed that the minerals and salts from the Dead Sea contain healing properties that are effective in treating various diseases and skin allergies. In addition, it is common for the skin to show improvement in its outer appearance and elasticity after coming in contact with Dead Sea minerals.

Better blood circulation, metabolism and a more relaxed nervous system are also common results of using Dead Sea mud. It has also been known to heal wounds, stimulate hair roots, cure dermatitis, eliminate dandruff, heal bone and cartilage inflammation, relieve stress and fatigue, etc.

Dead Sea mud is one of the healthiest things you can use on your skin. Studies show that the minerals found in the Dead Sea provide the body and skin with extensive benefits, including but not limited to the following:

• Promotion and healing of skin tissue.
  
• Maintaining proper moisture levels.
  
• Prevents and cures allergies.
  
• Provides the skin with anti-allergenic protection.
  
• Protects against airborne pollutants.
  
• Helps to counteract internal toxins.
  
• Aids relaxation and promotes a soothing effect.
  
• Improves blood circulation and natural skin generation.
  
• Cleanses the skin and removes dirt particles, impurities and toxins.
  
• Provides effective relief for skin disorders such as psoriasis, eczema, acne and wrinkles.
  
• Moisturizes the skin and helps natural skin hydration.
  
• Exfoliates dead skin cells to reveal a more healthier and youthful layer of skin.
  

When Dead Sea mud dries on the surface of the skin, it pulls out any toxins that may be present in your skin cells from your everyday diet. This leaves the skin completely clean, refreshed and pure. It also firms and tightens the skin, providing an exceptional anti-aging benefit, leaving the skin looking younger.

"Comprised of many layers of sedimentary clay formed over thousands of years, rich black mineral mud from the Dead Sea contains an extremely high concentration of minerals, scientifically proven to be essential in the maintenance of healthy skin," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "Our Mud Mask replenishes and revitalizes the skin, restoring its natural suppleness and moisture levels while alleviating and soothing soreness, redness and cracking."

Manuka Honey for the Treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Honey derived from the Manuka plant is being used as a natural alternative to medication for the effective treatment of irritable bowel syndrome.

Statistics indicate that 1 in 5 Americans suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Because of feelings of embarrassment, many patients have been known to wait up to 3 years to see their doctor about IBS symptoms.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a group of symptoms that affect the colon (large intestine). If you have IBS, your colon muscles might contract too much, causing diarrhea, or not enough, causing constipation. IBS symptoms can be triggered by stress, illness, some medications and certain foods (i.e. dairy products, caffeine or alcohol).

IBS symptoms include abdominal pain, cramping, bloating and gas, especially after eating. Individuals suffering from irritable bowel syndrome also experience constipation, diarrhea or both. Other symptoms include mucus in the stool and having the urge to move your bowels after already doing so. Oddly enough, most people with IBS only have mild to moderate symptoms. Very few people experience severe symptoms.

The cause of Irritable Bowel Syndrome is unknown. However, there is a way to control it. Manuka Honey from New Zealand is used by many to successfully treat IBS. The osmotic effect of this particular type of honey helps stool to move by affecting the way fluids move into the colon. Since Manuka Honey is a natural healer, it's been found to have no negative side effects when used for medicinal purposes.

"Manuka Honey has more healing properties than any other honey," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International which is the largest importer of Manuka Honey in the U.S. "These healing properties are derived from the Manuka plant which is indigenous to New Zealand. Manuka Honey's healing abilities are known to consistently outperform traditional forms of medication."

Manuka Honey for the Treatment of Heartburn and Acid Reflux Disease

A special type of honey indigenous to New Zealand has been found to be effective in eliminating the discomfort of heartburn and Acid Reflux Disease.

Heartburn is when you have a burning sensation in your chest behind your breastbone. It is a symptom of acid reflux disease. This is when acid from your stomach flows back into your esophagus. Persistent heartburn two or more days per week is the most common symptom of acid reflux disease. Other signs include coughing, wheezing, hoarseness, sore throat or difficulty swallowing. Some people experience food coming back into their mouths after swallowing. Others experience a sour or bitter taste in their mouth, belching or burning chest pain that may get worse after eating or lying down.

Everyone experiences heartburn once in a while. However, if you have heartburn two or more days per week, experience symptoms for several months or if the symptoms disrupt your sleep, you may have acid reflux disease.

When you swallow, the muscular walls of your esophagus contract to push food down into your stomach. Your esophagus is a tube that connects your mouth and stomach. In normal digestion, a muscular valve opens to let food into your stomach and closes to keep food and stomach acid from flowing back into your esophagus. If you have heartburn or acid reflux disease, this valve is weak or it relaxes at the wrong time, causing stomach acid to flow back into your esophagus. When stomach acid touches the lining of the esophagus, it creates a burning feeling in your chest or throat. If you have frequent heartburn or acid reflux disease, your esophagus can become damaged.

Other health conditions that affect your digestive system can increase your risk of developing acid reflux disease such as obesity, hiatal hernia, asthma, etc. There is medication available to treat heartburn and acid reflux disease but they usually have a tendency to cause negative side effects such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, upper respiratory tract infections, vomiting and flatulence. Antacids can be used to manage occasional heartburn but they don't provide long-term relief or help to heal damage to your esophagus. In addition, overusing antacids can lead to constipation or diarrhea.

There is a natural solution for heartburn and acid reflux disease. It's called Manuka Honey and it is derived from the nectar of the flowers that grow on the Manuka tea tree which is indigenous to New Zealand. Taking one teaspoon of Manuka Honey about a half hour before breakfast, lunch and dinner and then a fourth time before bed will reduce or eliminate the symptoms of acid reflux disease.

"Manuka Honey has been used as a medicine in New Zealand for decades but has been recently gaining recognition as a natural healing agent in other countries," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International which is the largest importer of Manuka Honey in the U.S. "Manuka Honey has very powerful healing properties that have been found to have no negative side effects when used for medicinal purposes. We refer to it as natures best kept secret."
