Product Information

Many cultures have used Manuka honey for wound healing for centuries. How is Manuka honey different from honey? Manuka honey is produced by bees that feed on the flowers of what's known as the manuka bush, natively found in Australia and New Zealand. The honey is monofloral in nature, meaning it’s made strictly from the nectar of one type of flower. The plant only flowers four to six weeks a year, which gives bees a short window of time to collect nectar. Manuka honey is pricier than other varieties due to its stringent harvesting process. In 1979, Barbara Briggs and Laurie Johnson published a classification of the family Myrtaceae in the Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales. Although there have been revisions to their groupings, their paper allowed a systematic examination of species in the genus Leptospermum. [10] In 1989, Joy Thompson published a complete revision of the genus. [11] In 2000, O'Brien et al. published yet another revision, using matK-based evidence to suggest that Leptospermum is polyphyletic, and should be split into persistent, Western non-persistent, and Eastern non-persistent fruiting plants, with Leptospermum spinescens as an outlier. [12] However, neither phylogeny has been universally accepted. [13] Current estimates recognize about ninety species of Leptospermum. [4]

In the case of APF honey, it comes from flowers with antibacterial capacity of Ulmo, Quillay, Peumo and Tiaca. Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori) is a common type of bacteria that’s responsible for the majority of gastric ulcers. Research suggests Manuka honey may help treat gastric ulcers caused by H. pylori.

[18] It comes from Proto-Polynesian * nukanuka or * nuka which refers to Decaspermum fructicosum due to its similar small white flowers; it is a doublet of the aforementioned kānuka (referring to not only Kunzea ericoides but also K. robusta).

Honey is an expiry-proof product that can go for months, years, and even thousands of years (as in the case of King Tut) without spoiling. However, you can buy bad honey if you are not cautious. Some of the potential issues in the U.S honey market that you need to be aware of include: The nectar from the flowers is harvested by bees, yielding Leptospermum honey, which is marketed as Manuka honey.

Once in the honeycomb, the bees continue processing it and evaporating more water. The combination of the hive’s temperature and the ventilation created by fanning bees causes even more evaporation. Once the water content is below 20%, the honey is “ripe,” and the bees seal it with an abdominal secretion which turns into beeswax. Once the process is complete, the honey can be stored indefinitely and serve as a great food source during cold winter periods. This precise process ensures that the honey doesn’t ferment or degrade during storage. Types of Honey If you look at the Manuka tree (online or in real life), it is not a big tree but has more of a shrub type of appearance.

Manuka honey has been promoted as a potential treatment for several other conditions, there is increasing evidence for use of Manuka honey for digestive health, but the available research yields mixed results. Conditions that may benefit from using Manuka honey include: Mānuka, tea tree and kāhikatoa are common names for this species. [16] "Jelly bush" is also used in Australia to describe similar honey from Leptospermum polygalifolium. Tea tree arose because Captain Cook used the leaves to make a 'tea' drink.
