A lot has been in the news lately about active manuka honey and the remarkable healing properties that it possesses. The fact is that up until just a few years ago not many people had heard of this natural healer, or knew that manuka honey products were one of New Zealand's biggest natural exports. Now people are finally finding out what the fuss is all about.
Active manuka honey is the product of the manuka bush, which is a shrub that grows wild in most of the regions of New Zealand. It has been used for centuries by the Maori people who are the original people of this island to heal cuts, burns, and lesions on the skin. They introduced this honey to the European settlers that came to the island.
It was the European faction of the islands population that began marketing manuka honey products for not only medicinal uses, but also as a delicacy. This honey is very dark and rich, and has a unique flavor that is all its own. The great thing is that even when eaten the honey can keep you healthy and can even strengthen your immune system.
Now, active manuka honey is being studied for use in the cases of those who are stricken with staph infections that will not respond to antibiotics. The purpose for the honey would be to heal the skin ulcers that often occur among these people, and it is going to be used for the same purpose for those patients that have ulcerative symptoms stemming from their diabetes.
Manuka honey products work so well at healing the skin that they are even moving into the cosmetics industry as an ingredient to be used for eradicating the free radicals that have been building up in our skin and throughout our bodies over the course of our lifetimes. Free radical damage has long been considered one of the major reasons that we age as quickly as we do.
There is a company that is based in New Zealand that uses active manuka honey in all of its all natural anti aging skin care products. This ingredient is also surrounded by many other natural antioxidants such as grape seed oil, macadamia oil, avocado oil, and Cynergy TK, which is a mixture of protein peptides and enzymes that is an incredibly strong antioxidant.
These anti aging skin care creams and lotions are just the latest of the manuka honey products to make a splash on the open market. This company also has in their products all natural ingredients that will escalate the production of your skin's own collagen and elastin, and in addition they will also significantly increase the amount of hyaluronic acid that your skin possesses.
Active manuka honey is just one of the amazing ingredients that this anti aging skin care line contains. Through the everyday use of these products you can literally heal all of the damage that has been done, and erase the years that this damage has put on.
