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.

The Miraculous Umf Manuka Honey

Category: Uncategorized — admin @ 9:44 am

What is UMF Manuka Honey?

Unique Manuka Factor or commonly known as UMF is the only worldwide standard in identifying and measuring the antibacterial strength or quality of some strains of Manuka. It is a guarantee that the honey being sold has the special UMF antibacterial property and a UMF rating of 10 is the minimum recognised. Ordinary manuka has only the hydrogen peroxide antibacterial property which is common to most types of honey, whereas UMF Manuka has both the natural hydrogen peroxide antibacterial property and its own natural UMF antibacterial property, giving it increased antibacterial potency. The UMF property is very stable, unlike the hydrogen peroxide antibacterial property common in most honey which is easily destroyed by heat, light as well as certain enzymes in body serum.

UMF Manuka, also known as “Medihoney” in some pharmacies, is the preferred honey for wound dressing and other special therapeutic uses and studies are showing Manuka with high levels of UMF could be very effective in helping relieve stomach ulcer symptoms and gastritis, and sore throats, and when applied topically, in assisting the natural cure of skin ulcers, wounds, burns, boils, cracked skin. That is also why many skincare products also contain UMF manuka as a special ingredient and promise positive benefits from their regular application on the skin.

UMF is not in the nectar of all Manuka flowers, which are known as Leptospermum scoparium and belong to the the Tea Tree bushes found only in New Zealand’s coastal areas. Some Manuka bushes do not produce honey with the UMF property every year, and the concentrations of UMF can vary from batch to batch and year to year. The reason why only some Manuka honeys have the unique UMF antibacterial property is not yet known. It could be from a subspecies of Manuka or due to some environmental factor such as soil type. In the shop, you will find the varying UMF strengths – UMF 10, UMF 15, UMF 20, UMF 25, and the higher the UMF, the more expensive is the honey. All genuine UMF manuka honeys from New Zealand are packed into jars and labelled with a registered trademark UMF® by licensed companies, and have a rating of UMF 10 or more. These licensed users of the UMF® label in New Zealand have to meet standards of regular monitoring and auditing of their honey quality. So if you come across an UMF honey which is packed in New Zealand and is labelled UMF 8, you should know something is amiss.

Another reason why Manuka honey, which is available in most Kiwi homes, is favoured by so many honey fans is that it has a higher than normal conductivity, which is an indirect measurement of mineral content of a honey — about 4 times that of normal flower honeys. I particularly love the taste of Manuka – it has a lot of depth and a unique unforgetable foresty aroma stands out amongst the honey varieties. I often find myself mixing a tablespoon of the honey with warm water or hot tea whenever I experience sore throat, cough, cold or flu symptoms, or when feel “heatiness” in my body. Now, the honey shops here (in Singapore) also sell New Zealand made Manuka honey lozenges for soothing the throat. I paid about 9 Sing dollars (about 6 US dollars) for a pack of 20 such honey drops with UMF 20+ and propolis which contained very high level of bioflavonoids. Its ant-inflammatory properties worked perfect in curing my phelmy throat and it was delicious despite that it tasted a bit bitter due to the propolis, and it gave me a slight numbing effect on my tongue as I sucked it.

Buying Manuka Honey in the U.S

Category: Uncategorized — admin @ 9:45 am

Manuka Honey is becoming a well-recognized health remedy in the U.S. market and all over the world.  In the quiet, pollution-free countryside of New Zealand, hardworking honeybees gather nectar from a very special flower that grows on a native bush called the Manuka Tea Tree (also known as Leptospermum scoparium).  It is this nectar that contains molecules that many believe holds the key to healing many different illnesses.  Most recently, Manuka Honey has been gaining worldwide recognition for its ability to eradicate the MRSA bacterium that is responsible for causing life threatening Staph infections that are otherwise impervious to antibiotics.  The resilient superbugs associated with MRSA are no match for the potent antibacterial properties of Manuka Honey.

Manuka Honey gets its antibacterial properties from 4 main components.  It’s osmolarity in effect dehydrates infectious microorganisms by drawing moisture out of bacterial cells.  Manuka Honey is also very acidic with pH levels not conducive for bacterial growth.  Like other types of honey, Manuka Honey also contains low levels of hydrogen peroxide which is a known antiseptic.  What makes Manuka Honey different than other types of honey are the plant-derived floral components that are present, such as methylglyoxal and a not yet recognized compound that has become known as the Unique Manuka Factor or UMF.  These floral nectar components contribute greatly to its antibacterial activity.

In addition to its powerful antibacterial properties, Manuka Honey is also considered to be antimicrobial, anti-fungal, antiviral and anti-parasitic.  Since most health conditions are cause by some sort of bacteria, virus, fungus or parasite, Manuka Honey is being recognized as a viable treatment option for many conditions that don’t respond well to traditional forms of medication.  When taken orally, Manuka Honey is effective in treating sore throats, strep throat, stomach aches, stomach ulcers, acid reflux disease, gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome, gastro-intestinal disorders, cold and flu symptoms, etc.  When used topically on the skin, Manuka Honey is effective in treating infected wounds, burns, acne, eczema, ringworm and a variety of other conditions.

Since its origin is New Zealand, Manuka Honey can be somewhat hard to come by.  Shipping costs from New Zealand to the U.S. can sometimes exceed the amount of the honey itself.  However, now U.S. consumers can purchase Honeymark brand Manuka Honey more conveniently. Honeymark’s Manuka Honey is certified by the Active Manuka Honey Association in New Zealand to be active UMF 16+ which is a potent medical-grade honey.  Consumers should beware of other companies that sell less potent Manuka Honey for a discounted price.  Manuka Honey that is not bioactive does not contain enough antimicrobial properties necessary for medicinal use.  Honeymark assures their customers that their Manuka Honey is of medical grade.

Honeymark International is known for manufacturing quality skin care products that contain active Manuka Honey as a natural healing agent. Honeymark’s skin care products are not sticky and offer the same benefits of Manuka Honey without the sticky mess. When used for internal purposes, Manuka Honey usually outperforms most medicines, with of course, a much more pleasant flavor.  If you’re having difficulty getting your children to take medicine when they’re sick, Manuka Honey may be an easier choice.  And Manuka Honey is a natural product, it has also been found to have no known side effects.

“Manuka Honey has become an extremely important resource and valuable commodity,” says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International.  “As word continues to spread about the healing ability of this premium honey, it will become viewed more as a natural treatment alternative to pharmaceutical medication.”  Honeymark plans to continue to expand its range of Manuka honey-based products to include a Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Wash, Lip Balm, Foaming Cleanser and Moisturizer.  Customers can expect to see these new products later this year.

Buy Manuka Honey Wholesale

Category: Uncategorized — admin @ 9:50 am

Honeymark International is well-known for its unique line of high-end skin care products that utilizes Manuka Honey as a natural healing agent.  Manuka Honey has many health benefits when used for medicinal purposes, both internally and topically on the skin.  When taken orally, Manuka Honey is a welcomed alternative to medicine since it tastes better, is less expensive, has no negative side effects and is more effective in most circumstances.

Many retail store managers have found themselves being badgered by their customers to carry this special type of honey, forcing them to scour the earth in search of Manuka Honey distributors to help accommodate this demand.  Honeymark has met that demand in short order by supplying the highest quality Manuka Honey available.

 Manuka Honey is produced by honeybees that utilize the nectar of the flowers that grow on the Manuka Tea Tree, which is indigenous to New Zealand.  Importing Manuka Honey from New Zealand can be quite costly and could take weeks.  When finding a quality Manuka Honey to sell, it is also important to take the antibacterial potency into consideration.  Some Manuka Honey suppliers sell honey that has a low or questionable UMF rating which can render the honey less effective from a medicinal perspective.  This low-grade Manuka Honey doesn’t have any more healing properties than the ordinary honey that you would find in your local supermarket.

Conversely, Manuka Honey with an extraordinarily high UMF rating is not desirable either.  Manuka Honey with a UMF rating of 20 or higher is very rare, extremely expensive and overly potent.  In fact there have been reports of some people experiencing sensitivity to Manuka Honey that is that potent.  The most ideal Manuka Honey is a medium range with a UMF rating of 10-18.  Manuka Honey with a UMF rating of less than 10 may not have enough antibacterial properties to effectively treat more serious conditions.  Honeymark carries active Manuka Honey UMF 16+ which is ideal for therapeutic use.

Another thing to consider is that if a Manuka Honey brand does not indicate on the label that it is from New Zealand or doesn’t display a UMF rating or Methylglyoxal level, its potency might be questionable.

A few highlights of Honeymark brand Manuka Honey are as follows:

Our supplier in New Zealand is a registered member of the Active Manuka Honey Association which ensures that our Manuka Honey is tested for its antibacterial properties and allows us to legally display the UMF trademark on our label;  Our Manuka Honey is UMF 16+ which is an active, medical-grade Manuka Honey and idea for medicinal use;  Our Manuka Honey is reasonably priced; Since we are located in the U.S., shipping charges are far less expensive than importing Manuka Honey directly from New Zealand; Our containers include barcodes; Honeymark is a well-recognized brand and is known in the industry and to consumers as Manuka Honey specialists.

“Any store that is currently selling Manuka Honey knows that it has a tendency to fly off the shelves,” says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International.  “It is just a matter of time until its healing power is recognized by everyone.  The results of using Manuka Honey for medical purposes is far too impressive for it not to explode into a retail sensation.”  In addition to its exceptional medicinal value, Manuka Honey is also very tasty and can be used in tea, on toast, etc.  It can also be used as an excellent alternative to sugar.

For more information on wholesale prices or to purchase Honeymark brand Manuka Honey, call 1-866-427-7329.  Consumers can purchase Honeymark’s Manuka Honey online at www.HoneymarkProducts.com.

Does Manuka Honey Really Work?

Category: Uncategorized — admin @ 12:07 pm


For those who don’t know exactly what Manuka Honey is, it’s a premium, medical-grade honey that is derived from the nectar of the flowers that grow on the Manuka Tea Tree, which is indigenous to New Zealand.  Honey of any floral source has been found to contain a certain degree of healing properties.  However, it has been discovered that Manuka Honey has the most and is more suitable for medicinal use.   It is important to know, however, that not all Manuka Honey is medical-grade.  Each batch of Manuka Honey has varied levels of healing properties.  In New Zealand, where Manuka Honey is produced and packaged, reputable honey suppliers perform laboratory tests to ensure the antibacterial potency of their honey.  One common rating system measures the antibacterial potency on a scale from 0-30.  This rating system, known as UMF or Unique Manuka Factor, is comparable to the percentage of the antibacterial activity of phenol.  For example, Manuka Honey UMF 10 is equivalent to a 10% solution of phenol.   The higher the UMF rating, the higher the Manuka Honey’s antibacterial potency.  Only Manuka Honey UMF 10 or higher is considered to be active and suitable for therapeutic use.  Although, extraordinarily potent Manuka Honey (i.e. 20+) is somewhat unnecessary and overkill.  A good medium range UMF rating is most desirable (i.e. UMF 16).  A low UMF rating (i.e. UMF 9 or less) may not have the curative qualities that most people expect from Manuka Honey.   There are some doctors and medical professionals that feel the majority of health conditions are caused by some type of infectious microorganism (i.e. bacteria, virus, fungus or parasite). What makes Manuka Honey so effective is that it is antibacterial, antiviral, anti-fungal and anti-parasitic.  Therefore, it is safe to assume that any health complication that is caused by one of these pesty, little microbes can be effectively combated (i.e. ulcers, infections, ringworm, lice, etc.).   “Since Manuka Honey is a natural ingredient, it has been found to have no negative side effects when used for medical purposes,” says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International, which is a manufacturer of Manuka Honey products.  “Even the most resilient bacteria are no match for Manuka Honey’s unparalleled antimicrobial properties, such as MRSA and VRE.”    Manuka Honey is gaining worldwide recognition for its amazing healing ability.  Manuka Honey can be taken orally or used topically on the skin.  Just as long as it comes in direct contact with the affected area, it will yield immediate results.   Manuka Honey is being considered the ultimate natural healer by many and, in most cases, can outperform antibiotics and traditional forms of medicine.  For more information or to purchase Manuka Honey and Manuka Honey products, call 1-866-427-7329 or visit www.HoneymarkProducts.com.
