Why honey?
Time tested.
What do the ancient Egyptians, Assyrians, Chinese, Greeks, and Romans have in common? They all recognized honey as a powerful treatment for a variety of medical conditions. In fact, records show that honey has been prized for its natural healing properties as far back as 3000 BC.1,2
During the mid-20th century, the era of modern antibiotic medicine began – and the use of honey as a medicinal treatment fell out of favor. Although antibiotics were initially heralded as the most effective weapon against bacteria, over time antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria began to develop. Today, many pharmaceutical companies aren’t developing new antibiotics because of this growing problem.3
That’s why there’s an urgent need for a new non-antibiotic treatment to fight infection.
Extensively studied.
Extensive research demonstrates that medical-grade Manuka honey contains very powerful healing properties, making it extremely effective for use in wound care and for maintaining general health and well-being. In 1982, scientist Professor Peter Molan, MBE, discovered that honey harvested from the Manuka tree, native only to New Zealand, contained unique healing properties.
Today, Manuka honey around the world is rated by a standard now bearing Dr. Molan’s name: the Molan Gold Standard. Look for the Molan Gold Standard seal whenever you purchase Manuka honey products.
The internationally recognized standard that certifies authentic Manuka honey, named for the pioneer researcher in the field, Professor Peter Molan, MBE.
Medical-grade Manuka honey: more effective than common honey.
Manuka honey is not the same as common honey you buy in a supermarket.
The ManukaMed brand of medical-grade Manuka honey is harvested from bees that pollinate the Manuka bush (a species known as Leptospermum scoparium). This unique bush is native only to New Zealand.
Another critical difference: common honey undergoes heat treatment, which destroys important healing properties. The ManukaMed brand of medical-grade Manuka honey is finely filtered to remove all processing particles.
The result: extremely pure, highly effective medical-grade Manuka honey that has very little in common with common honey.
Your reliable source for 100% pure medical-grade Manuka honey.
Great care is taken to ensure that the ManukaMed brand of medical-grade Manuka honey products are of the highest standard in purity.
Our medical-grade Manuka honey is harvested from the Wairarapa region of New Zealand. This pristine area is preserved and protected by the New Zealand government as well as the Maori tribes.
The beehives are located in regions where there is no risk of contamination or dilution of properties. Hygienic hive management, specific harvesting protocols, and processing within a state-of-the-art complex are key features of our medical-grade Manuka honey production.
All ManukaMed brand medical-grade Manuka honey products can be traced back to their hive. And all are tested by a certified laboratory for medical qualities.
From beehive to final product, we ensure complete control over production. What’s more, we never buy Manuka honey on the open market. The ManukaMed brand of products are 100% Manuka honey and never a blend of other honeys. This high level of control and traceability is unique among companies who produce Manuka honey products for wound care.
