Manuka Honey Healing Alternative For…Umm, Almost Everything
Manuka honey is the best honey for alternative natural healing.  Athletes foot, ringworm, wrinkles.  Burns,    insect bites, aches and pains, gum disease.  See what I mean?  And there are is so much more.  I could go on but I won’t.  Basically this stuff is packed with antibacterials so good that when they are heated or diluted they still retain their power unlike other honey.  Also it is antimicrobial.  Nice.

I heard on the news that there is some place in England with Manuka bushes who are now selling Manuka honey.  There is much lost in cultural differences and I felt saddened that those growers weren’t knowledgeable about the traditional Maori beliefs around Manuka, and some of the practices around this alternative medicine.

A question yesterday from Kate about putting this stuff on your face.  Yes, I’ve done that once and NEVER again.  Messy as hell.  Got in my hair and generally everywhere.  Didn’t think my face improved much but that may have been because I was scowling.

You can buy creams with the active Manuka honey ingredients in them that make it easier but I don’t really like those.  The few I’ve tried still seem really heavy.  It is also used for burns by the way (after the cool water of course)  an alternative to medicine.  Healing is speeded up as the substances in the honey go to work.
