Yesterday I was speaking with a co worker who told me that this past weekend he had burnt his tongue, put a layer of this honey on it and within hours it was healed.
So here are some benefits and uses I have found.
What form can you buy the Honey in? Raw or pasteurized Filtered or unfiltered Comb (with the edible beeswax inside) liquid or whipped Local or imported
Benefits: helping heal cuts and scrapes -Manuka honey can help heal wounds. All forms of honey are acidic and have a pH between 3.2 and 4.5. The acidic properties of honey have been shown to promote healing.
Treats Burns, Wounds and Ulcers -The use of honey leads to improved wound healing in acute cases, pain relief in burn patients and decreased inflammatory response in such patients Helps with SIBO, Low Stomach Acid, Acid Reflux -Small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), low stomach acid and acid reflux go hand in hand. Because of Manuka honey’s known natural antibiotic qualities, it is a great medicine for any bacteria-related disorder. Improves Sore Throats and Immunity- If you have a sore throat or if you just want to be proactive, try taking 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of Manuka honey each day. If you aren’t sick, this may help boost your immune system and prevent you from getting sick Improves Sleep -It slowly releases the glycogen needed for essential bodily functions during sleep

It will be from a New Zealand UMF licensed company and labeled in New Zealand.
It will have the UMF company’s name and license number on the label.
It will have a UMF rating number of 5–16+. If it is labeled without the UMF or without a number, then it is not the genuine article.
