Stilblut's Musings: Liquid Gold aka Manuka Honey – multifunctional Magic in a Jar
Since my early childhood, natural remedies played an important role in our household. My mother always had and has a huge collection of herbs and tinctures, there is something for every need and health issue.
One of the most used products was honey and plus other elements made by bees like propolis and bee pollen. I clearly remember that once I ripped off my finger, she put honey on my wound, which helped to heal it due to its antibacterial and osmotic properties.
The New Kid in Health & Beauty Town
Then, a few years ago, a new kind of honey showed up - this time one of my aunts discovered that very special product and brought one jar to us, together with a lot of informative papers. Manuka Honey, a more powerful, supercharged version of honey It's hard to describe the honey, without making it sound unreal because it has so many smashing qualities and benefits. The name comes from the Manuka Tree - when bees pollinate from the nectar of the tree, their honey is much more potent than the standard bee honey. This is because it has a higher concentration of methylglyoxal (MGO) which increases its antibacterial properties. FYI: High-grade honeys have always the rating of the MGO on the front of the jar. You can read more about the MGO rating and its importance here. More active ingredients in the honey are amino acids (including enzymes) plus vitamins and minerals.
