Manuka honey & mafura oil intensive hydration conditioner

Q: Is it OK to eat manuka honey everyday?

For most people, Manuka honey is safe to consume. Theres usually no limit on how much Manuka honey you can ingest.

Q: Why is manuka honey so special?

Manuka honeys antibacterial properties are what set it apart from traditional honey. Methylglyoxal is its active ingredient and likely responsible for these antibacterial effects. Additionally, Manuka honey has antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.

Health Benefits of Manuka Honey as an Essential Constituent for Tissue Regeneration

Kamal Niaz et al. Curr Drug Metab. 2017.

Abstract

Background: Honey is known for its therapeutic properties from ancient civilizations. Recently, the mechanism of action of Manuka honey in wound healing, epithelial regeneration, and ulcer treatments has been revealed.

Objective: In the current review, the health perspectives of honey, its chemical composition with special reference to flavonoids, polyphenol, and other bioactive trace compounds used in tissue regeneration have been discussed in detail.

Methods: We undertook a structured search using wide spectrum sources like Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus.

Results: The included papers showed that Manuka honey can inhibit the process of carcinogenesis by controlling different molecular processes, and progression of cancer cells. Manuka honey has been found to have various biological activities, including antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-proliferative capacities. Scientists try to use Manuka honey in the area of tissue engineering to design a template for regeneration. Naturally derived antibacterial agents of Manuka honey are numerous mixtures of different compounds, which can influence antibacterial capacity. The non-peroxide bacteriostatic properties of Manuka honey are associated with the presence of methylglyoxal (MGO).

Conclusion: In addition to bacterial growth inhibition, glyoxal (GO) and MGO from Manuka honey can enhance wound healing and tissue regeneration by their immunomodulatory property. Further studies are needed to provide detailed information about active components of Manuka honey and their potential efficacy in different diseases.

Keywords: Honey; Leptospermum scoparium; Manuka honey; antimicrobial; methyl-glyoxal; polyphenols; review; tissue regeneration.

What is manuka honey good for?

Thanks to its antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, manuka honey can be used to help treat wounds, improve your oral health, soothe a sore throat and treat ulcers and acne.

What is the difference between regular honey and manuka honey?

The main difference between manuka honey and normal honey is that the manuka honey is derived from the bees that feed on the manuka plant native to New Zealand whereas normal honey is a sweet, sticky yellowish-brown fluid made by bees and other insects from the nectar collected from flowers.

Is it OK to eat manuka honey everyday?

For most people, Manuka honey is safe to consume. There's usually no limit on how much Manuka honey you can ingest.
