Untitled design - 2025-01-30T140841.807

Have you heard the buzz about Manuka honey? It’s not just your regular honey – this special honey comes from New Zealand and is creating quite a stir in the wellness world. Let’s explore what makes it so unique!

What is Manuka Honey?

Picture a land covered in unique Manuka trees. Bees that visit these trees create Manuka honey. It’s darker and richer than the honey you might be used to, and it has special properties that make it stand out.

What is UMF?

You might see “UMF” on a jar of Manuka honey. That stands for Unique Manuka Factor. It’s a measure of how potent the special stuff in the honey is. The higher the UMF, the more powerful the honey!

Why All the Hype About Manuka Honey?

People are talking about Manuka honey because it has some interesting qualities. While it’s always a good idea to chat with a doctor about health questions, here are some things people are curious about Manuka for:

  • Soothes Sore Throats: Manuka honey can be a comforting choice when your throat feels scratchy.
  • Helps with Minor Cuts and Scrapes: Some people use Manuka honey on small cuts and scrapes.
