Book excerpt: Not so long ago, in a small island nation in the South Pacific, beekeepers produced a most peculiar honey. It was much darker than the clover honey everyone put on their toast in the morning, and it tasted very different. In fact, the honey was a problem: it was hard to get out of the combs, and even harder for beekeepers to sell. Today that honey, manuka from New Zealand, is known around the world. It fetches high prices, and beekeepers do everything in their power to produce as much of it as possible. Wound dressings containing manuka honey are used in leading hospitals, and it has saved the lives of patients infected with disease - causing bacteria that are resistant to standard antibiotic drugs. In so doing it has forced the medical profession to rethink its position on the therapeutic properties of natural products. This book chronicles the remarkable 'rags - to - riches' story of manuka honey, as seen through the eyes of a New Zealand beekeeping specialist who watched it unfold from the very beginning.

It's also an entertaining account of the way that seemingly simple discovery caught the international media's attention, helping enterprising New Zealanders to develop manuka honey - based products and take them all around the globe. But above all else it's a story of hope for the future, sounding a note of optimism in a world that for good reason feels saddened and sometimes even afraid about the future of the special relationship we humans have always had with those marvellous creatures, the honey bees.

Book excerpt: You have probably heard of manuka honey, but do you know what makes it different and why it has become all the rage in the world of healing and wellness? Manuka honey, is produced in New Zealand and Australia by bees that pollinate the manuka bush. It was discovered that this very special honey has WAY more antibacterial activity than other honey. Manuka honey is very high in a compound called methylglyoxal, which is one of the main factors responsible for its antibacterial potency. Research has now shown that active manuka honey can effectively inhibit the growth of almost all known human pathogens, including those becoming resistant to antibiotics, like Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Clostridium difficile. Because not all Manuka honey is high in methylglyoxal, a need for standardization arose. The Unique Manuka Factor Honey Association was established, and now provides a trademarked UMF rating system for Manuka honey. For Manuka honey to be considered "active", it must have a UMF rating of 10 or greater, indicating a certain level of antibacterial activity - the higher the rating, the greater the activity.

Download or read book Manuka Honey Handbook for Beginners written by Katet Anson and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-03-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manuka honey is produced in Australia and New Zealand through the pollination of the Manuka shrub, scientifically referred to as Leptospermum scoparium, by bees. Manuka honey is distinguished from other honey varieties by virtue of its distinctive composition, specifically its elevated concentration of methylglyoxal (MGO), an element thought to be responsible for its antibacterial attributes. Indigenous cultures have utilized Manuka honey for its medicinal properties for centuries, predominantly to treat digestive issues, soothe sore throats, and promote wound healing. The substance's antibacterial and anti-inflammatory characteristics have attracted interest in contemporary medicine, resulting in its incorporation into dietary supplements, hygiene products, and wound care. The MGO content of manuka honey determines its grading; in general, greater MGO levels indicate enhanced potency and potential health advantages. In contrast to alternative honey varieties, its cost tends to be higher on account of its restricted geographic range and specialized manufacturing procedure. Nevertheless, its alleged health advantages have contributed to its growing global popularity.
