Where does Manuka Honey come from?

Manuka Honey is unique to New Zealand and contains non-peroxide antibacterial agents which can inhibit the growth of bacteria that cause slow healing wounds. Manuka Honey is produced by bees that gather pollen from the flowers of the Manuka tree, which is indigenous to New Zealand. The honey making process is enhanced and enriched by the pollution-free environment of New Zealand. This special type of medical grade honey has been found to have exceptionally powerful healing properties. It is only thanks to clinical research, principally in the last decade, that we are now able to explain many of the therapeutic effects of Manuka Honey when used for medical purposes. More..
