Manuka Honey is special because it is heat tolerant. This means that at normal body temperature (98.6) the enzymes remain active when taken internally. This allows the enzymes to work effectively against the H-Pylori bacteria that can cause digestive problems. It also contains special antibacterial properties that are very similar to hydrogen peroxide. It is those properties that make the honey effective when using it for burns and diabetic ulcers. Raw unprocessed honey has been used since the time of the Egyptians for treating burns and wounds, it prevents moisture from getting into the wound so harmful bacteria cannot live. Manuka Honey is collected with care from native Manuka Trees in New Zealand's remote, pollution-free forests to produce the highest quality bio-active Manuka Honey.
