<p>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. <strong>Honey</strong> is an ideal natural <strong>medicine</strong>, 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>There are many different types of honey. Before you go digging through your food cabinet, it&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>This idea of natural healing remedies is quickly becoming popular in the world today. Although advances in medical technology have led to remarkable discoveries in human health treatments, sometimes itâ€™s better just to get back to the root of things and <strong>Manuka Honey</strong> is a natural solution to modern day healing.. Skin-care is an area where natural remedies are often needed most as skin is highly sensitive to harmful chemicals that may be found in man-made items. Thus to respond to the need for natural, high-quality skin-care products, there is a company that has started bottling <strong>Manuka Honey</strong>, a combination of many plant-derived substances that have been proven to produce very effective healing results.</p>
<p><a href="http://herbhunter1.com/blog/files/2009/12/Bee-getting-Nectar.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1380 alignnone" title="Bee getting Nectar" src="http://herbhunter1.com/blog/files/2009/12/Bee-getting-Nectar.jpg" alt="Bee getting Nectar" width="392" height="307" /></a></p>
<p>The components of <strong>Manuka honey</strong> are only found in New Zealand, and they have been held in secrecy up until now. These chemicals have been able to decrease the appearance of wrinkles, acne, eczema, ringworm, and wounds that are often difficult to get rid of. A very small amount of the honey can cover a large range and maintain its potency throughout the whole way. The honey can literally be diluted 50 times over and still be as powerful as it was in its natural form. Thatâ€™s what the human body does to it anyways.</p>
<p><strong>Manuka honey</strong> is the most effect natural skin care out on the market today. Its ingredients canâ€™t be found in any other product, and nothing else can produce the same strength as a dose of this special formula. Honey as a whole is great for healing wounds because it maintains the moisture around the wounds, but the Manuka model is particularly effective because of the other active ingredients that are in the formula. The chemicals are absorbed deep into the skin to provide the best healing possible, and the potency will last much longer than other products on the market.</p>
<p>Simply put, this product is a fast-acting, all natural skin care solution that gets down to the root of the problem every time. It provides the perfect breeding environment for skin cells to re-grow and heal, giving the user a better chance of getting quick relief of the problem. It destroys bacterium in the skin that is causing the issues in the first place, and it has no known side-effects like those of man-made products. Itâ€™s the perfect solution to anyoneâ€™s skin concerns, and it comes entirely from Mother Nature herself. Modern skin care is now on a revolutionary new upswing, and itâ€™s all thanks to natural products like <strong>Manuka honey</strong>.</p>

<p>As the world seems to get smaller and technologies continue to be developed in all aspects of life, people the world over seem to be getting worse over time. Each year more people suffer from allergies than ever before. The immune system of many people is frazzled to say the least. It seems as though we are being attacked on all sides. There are many reasons to give <strong>Manuka Honey</strong> A Try.</p>
<div id="attachment_1287" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 413px"><a href="http://naturalmanukaproducts.com/"><img class="size-full wp-image-1287  " title=" Manuka Bush - Tea Tree (Leptospermum Scoparium)" src="http://herbhunter1.com/blog/files/2009/11/Leptospermum-Scoparium.jpg" alt=" Manuka Bush or Tea Trea (Leptospermum Scoparium)" width="403" height="302" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text"> Manuka Bush - Tea Tree (Leptospermum Scoparium)</p></div>
<p>More and more, people are looking to find natural remedies for what ails them. <strong>Manuka Honey</strong> has shown tremendous potential in helping people from all walks of life. What follows is a brief list of reasons to try <strong>manuka honey</strong> and see how it can transform your life.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Antibacterial</span></p>
<p><strong>Manuka honey</strong> fights off harmful bacteria and actually helps accelerate the healing process in many individuals. Tests prove that manuka honeyâ€™s antibacterial properties are second to none and can stave off harmful bacteria, even if seriously diluted in the process. Malodor is not a problem when the antibacterial properties of <strong>manuka honey</strong> are allowed to do their healing work.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Healing Properties</span></p>
<p>The natural healing properties of <strong>manuka honey</strong> help to create a protective barrier between wounds and the elements. This barrier ultimately helps wounds to heal faster and skin tends to regenerate faster as a result.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Stimulates Growth</span></p>
<p>As the healing process continues to work, <strong>manuka honey</strong> and products made from <strong>manuka honey</strong> help to stimulate growth of new tissue at the sites of wounds and other skin and affected tissues. Blood vessel stimulation and regeneration is another amazing result of the continued use of <strong>manuka honey</strong> and its many by-products.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Antifungal</span></p>
<p>In addition to being anti bacterial and having healing properties, <strong>manuka honey</strong> is also an antifungal product of nature. Fungus can have serious adverse effects on people; clearly <strong>manuka honey</strong> is a product that is worth looking into, since it fights bacteria and fungi, all while retaining restorative properties.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Natureâ€™s Gift</span></p>
<p>Something that claims to have so many positive attributes usually sounds too good to be true. <strong>Manuka honey</strong> occurs in nature and is not man-made. Give manuka honey a try for a wide variety of ailments and applications and see if it can help you to transform your current quality of life and care regimen.</p>

<p>Some medical professionals are now using a particular type of honey from New Zealand known as Manuka Honey to treat infections caused by bacteria that have developed a <strong>resistance</strong> to <strong>antibiotic</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://naturalmanukaproducts.com"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1228" title="Natural Manuka Honey Products" src="http://herbhunter1.com/blog/files/2009/11/Manuka-Honey-Blog-Pic.JPG" alt="Natural Manuka Honey Products" width="493" height="120" /></a></p>
<p>In recent years, there has been an escalating concern over the growing resistance of many germs to antibiotics. Penicillin is no longer effective against a number of pathogens. Vancomycin, has long been considered the best weapon against bacteria no longer vulnerable to other drugs. However, it too, is losing its effectiveness. According to experts, almost every human infection (i.e. malaria, tuberculosis, gonorrhea, pneumonia, leprosy, etc.) is now resistant to at least one major class of antibiotics, and the situation is expected to worsen.</p>
<p>Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) one of the most notorious antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria has been wreaking havoc throughout communities all over the world. In fact, the FDA has recently announced that there are more people dying of MRSA in the U.S. than of AIDS, raising it to epidemic proportions. To make matters even worse, some experts are now predicting that there will be an emergence of new strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the future.</p>
<p>There is, however, a solution and it comes in the form of a 3000 year old wound remedy&#8230;honey. Honey&#8217;s effectiveness in suppressing microbes is very different than that of antibiotics. Therefore, <strong>antibiotic resistance</strong> is less likely with honey. Most microbes need moisture to sustain life. It is, therefore, difficult for microbes to develop resistance to the moisture-extracting properties of honey. Much of honey&#8217;s anti microbial activity is bacteriostatic (freezing the bacteria in time and preventing them from spreading) rather than bactericidal or killing the bacteria. Resistance by bacteria is more likely to happen in an agent that kills them (as in the case with most antibiotics) because the few surviving bacteria (and there are always a few) pass on their resistant genes to future generations. To date, no resistance of pathogens to honey has been reported. This is being viewed as an extremely important medical discovery.</p>
<p>Over the past 30 years, antibiotics have been grossly over-prescribed by medical professionals. This overuse of antibiotics is partly due to patients demanding an easy fix, and to pharmaceutical companies promoting that easy fix. The problem is that many antibiotics are indiscriminate killers. When taken orally, they kill all the flora in the gastrointestinal tract, both good and bad. Such indiscriminate killing can throw the whole system off balance. The body contains beneficial microbes that are important for sustaining good health. However, these microbes are less affected by honey than they are by most antibiotics.</p>
<p>As of late, the medical industry has been taking a closer look at honey as a viable alternative to antibiotics in the treatment of many maladies. Not just any honey will do though. Manuka Honey seems to contain more antibacterial properties than any other type of honey. Manuka Honey is produced by bees that feed on the nectar of the flowers that grow on the Manuka Tea Tree, indigenous to New Zealand. This bioactive, medical-grade honey has been proven to destroy infectious bacteria that are responsible for many different types of health complications, including bacteria that has shown a resistance to antibiotics (such as MRSA and VRE).</p>
<p>&#8220;Manuka Honey is being considered a shining beacon of hope for medical professionals who have been scrambling for a solution to antibiotic resistance.&#8221;Â  &#8220;Unlike antibiotics, Manuka Honey has been found to have no negative side effects when used for therapeutic purposes, making it an extremely valuable commodity in the medical field.&#8221;</p>

<p>A special type of honey indigenous to New Zealand has been found to be effective in the <strong>treatment of heartburn and Acid Reflux Disease with Manuka Honey</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://naturalmanukaproducts.com"><img class="size-full wp-image-1056 alignnone" title="Honeycomb" src="http://herbhunter1.com/blog/files/2009/11/Honeycomb.jpg" alt="Honeycomb" width="374" height="281" /></a></p>
<p>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. Some of the 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;t provide long-term relief or help to heal damage to your esophagus. In addition, overusing antacids can lead to constipation or diarrhea.</p>
<p>There is a natural solution for heartburn and acid reflux disease. It&#8217;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.</p>
<p>&#8220;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,&#8221;. 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.&#8221;</p>

<p>One of the greatest and scariest health threats to face our world in the last decade is MRSA.Â  This antibiotic resistant strain of Staph Infection has claimed many lives and has become a terrifying cloud looming over our world.Â  Doctors and researchers alike have been scrambling to find a cocktail of antibiotics and other medications that might keep this <a href="http://naturalmanukaproducts.com"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-953" title="Bee Gathering Nectar" src="http://herbhunter1.com/blog/files/2009/10/Bee-Gathering-Nectar.jpg" alt="Bee Gathering Nectar" width="196" height="173" /></a>vicious infection at bay.Â  Chat rooms and bulletin boards across the internet have been abuzz with concerns about how the infection is contracted, what can be done to prevent it and what treatment options are available.Â  Ironically, amid all of this buzzing, one of the most promising developments has been the connection between <strong>manuka honey and MRSA</strong>.</p>
<p>Manuka honey is produced by bees in New Zealand that have harvested pollen from the manuka bushes that are indigenous to the area.Â  While honey has long been used in medical applications, it is only recently that manuka honey has been identified as being superior to other types of honey for healing infections.Â  All honey contains some amount of hydrogen peroxide and has antibiotic properties.Â  Manuka honey in particular contains additional antibacterial and antimicrobial properties that are not affected by heat, by light or when it is diluted. This led to the realization that manuka honey might be more effective than some other symptoms for treating MRSA.Â  Researchers slathered staph bacteria with<strong> manuka honey and MRSA</strong> microbes died.</p>
<p>Uncovering this connection between <strong>manuka honey and MRSA</strong> has set the medical community on fire, with more and more people talking about the wonderful healing properties of this &#8220;liquid gold.&#8221;Â  Unlike some other substances that are used to treat bacterial infections there are currently no reported types of bacteria that are resistant to manuka honey.Â  Manuka honey is being used in dressings applied to bandages and can be used as a topical treatment for open wounds, although like all honeys, it is very sticky and somewhat difficult to work with.</p>
<p>In recent years there has been a lot of discussion about the growing ineffectiveness of traditional antibiotics on many different types of infections.Â  More and more viruses and illnesses are unfazed by even the strongest pharmaceutical treatments.Â  When news of MRSA first became public, people began to panic, thinking that it was a sure death sentence. Finding that nature has already created a perfect cure for the infection was truly a marvelous discovery.Â  <strong>Manuka honey and MRSA</strong> is likely just the beginning, as the medical community and the public at large now has reason to consider natural alternatives to traditional medicine.</p>
