Certain types of Manuka Honey have been observed to have some special healing properties. While it is not fully understood why only some Manuka Honey has this healing antibacterial property, researchers agree that unlike regular honey, Active Manuka Honey has positive healing properties for a variety of skin conditions. In fact, many hospitals and medical practitioners are using active Manuka Honey for wound treatment. The presence of this property, first discovered by Dr Peter Molan, can be detected by laboratory testing. Honey that is tested and verified is given a numbered rating and is referred to as ‘Active’.
