Medical Uses For Manuka Honey

A manufacturer of health care products utilizes the healing properties of a particular type of honey known as Manuka Honey to treat a variety of different health conditions.

Honeymark International has developed a niche in the OTC health care products market by using a natural ingredient that has more healing power than pharmaceuticals and traditional forms of medicine. Manuka Honey is Honeymark's secret weapon and it seems to be working. Their products are getting great results even in cases where nothing else has worked. These products can be purchased over-the-counter without a prescription. Below is a list of symptoms that Manuka Honey has been successful in treating.

Eczema:
There is documented evidence supporting the use of Manuka Honey to treat eczema and other forms of dermatitis. Manuka Honey has been known to heal damaged skin, rebuild cells and regenerate new skin growth. It also has the ability to moisturize and soothe cracked and damaged skin. Blended with other effective ingredients, Honeymark's Anti-Itch Cream provides relief to individuals suffering from dermatitis and other dry skin conditions by softening, moisturizing, and rejuvenating irritated skin.

Arthritis:
Because Manuka Honey has natural anti-inflammatory properties, it can be used as a natural pain reliever by reducing the inflammation associated with joint and muscle pain. Anything that is applied to the skin is absorbed into the body. Manuka Honey has a way of diffusing deep into the skin, getting to the effected area. The result is a natural anti-inflammatory action which combines with the body's defense and support systems, improving circulation and nutrients to the joints while removing waste and preventing infections. The natural anti-inflammatory agents found in Manuka Honey are glucosamine and Chondroitin sulphate, which stimulate the body's manufacturing of cartilage components necessary for joint repair and assist in the reduction of pain and inflammation. Honeymark's Pain Relief Cream is effective on back, neck and shoulder pain as well as providing relief for pain associated with arthritis and sprains.

Infected Wounds:
Manuka Honey's main claim to fame is its extremely powerful antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. Research has proven that Manuka Honey promotes healing. Bacteria cannot survive in an environment with Manuka Honey because of its acidity. Even hard-to-heal wounds and antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria have not been able to fight the healing powers of Manuka Honey as it's been effective in destroying MRSA and healing Staph infections. The presence of hydrogen peroxide and other antibacterial properties make Manuka Honey a powerful infection-fighting agent. Unlike many other topical antiseptics, Honeymark's First Aid Antiseptic Lotion causes no tissue damage because the hydrogen peroxide in Manuka Honey is exists in a slow release manner. In addition to being extremely effective in treating wounds, this product can also be used on burns.

Ringworm:
Fungal infections are caused by microscopic organisms that can live on the dead tissues of the hair, nails and outer skin layers. Studies have shown that Manuka Honey contains antifungal properties which make it effective in treating ringworm and other fungal conditions such as athlete's foot, jock itch and nail fungus. Honeymark's Anti-Fungal Solution is effective in treating these fungal infections.

The Honeymark Advantage:
The advantage of using Honeymark products over plain Manuka Honey is that, in addition to Manuka Honey being expensive and hard to come by, like all honey, it’s sticky and not particularly desirable to use on the skin. Honeymark blends Certified, Active UMF Manuka Honey into its medicated creams and lotions for a comfortable and user-friendly application. There are also other ingredients in their products that are essential in treating the various symptoms. Since Honeymark is a U.S.-based company, shipping is easier, faster and less expensive that ordering Manuka Honey directly from New Zealand.

"Manuka Honey is gaining its well-deserved recognition as a natural healer," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "Even doctors and other medical professionals that are normally hooked on the use of pharmaceuticals and frown upon natural alternatives seem to be recognizing that the healing properties of Manuka Honey can't be ignored." nnnn
