You might simply look on honey as a condiment to apply all over your bread. Don't forget it has many extra uses.

For centuries honey has been recognised for its bringing back to health with healing reputation. Research shows that it was widely known and utilized by the Ancient civilizations. Interestingly the Egyptians had over five hundred medical uses for honey. The Greek civilization used it specially for diseases of the skin. Recorded history tells us that people have utilised different types of honey for medicative roles in addition to its pure and antibacterial properties in treating cuts and skin burns.

Many ancient peoples also knew that honey collected from various regions and at particular times of the year had extra characteristics.

However with the growth of antibiotics and penicillin its use became forgotten for general medical use.


Let's look at the uses of honey but first lets see what its made of.

Honey is comprised of four-fifths sugars and it is a effective alternative to sugar in foodstuffs and drink, provided that its not overdone - moderation is the key. It's also crammed with assorted vitamins (A,B,C,D, E and K), , enzymes and flavonoids utilised by your body's system. Honey is fairly acidic and this helps fighting the bacteria it comes across.

Manuka Honey is made from the flowers of the Manuka Bush. Biochemist Professor Peter Molan has found that manuka honey has a unique component not anywhere else worldwide. He has called it the UMF or Unique Manuka Factor.

Trials show that Manuka honey is more powerful than everyday honey in dealing with many medical conditions. Some of these include:

  • up-tp-date research displays that it can also be utilised to suppress the incubation of very infectious, drug-resistant bacteria.
  • Julie Betts, a nurse has fruitfully used honey to treat leg ulcers and pressure sores. In addition it assists healing after surgical procedures - especially for diabetic patients.
  • Dr Glenys Round, a cancer specialist has also discovered honey to be an efficient treatment."We've been using honey to deal with fungating cuts, in which the cancer has come through the skin," she said. "The results in those situations have been excellent."
  • Comvita has set up a new section for medical products to take hi-tech honey dressings originated by Peter Molan to the international market. "It is like a piece of rubber sheet, you can touch it without it being gluey at all. Previously untreatable wounds of many types are now found to be medically treated by honey," said Ray Lewis from Comvita.
  • A cancer hospital in Manchester, England is importing manuka honey from New Zealand to handle patients after surgery, as well as mouth and throat cancer.
