Customer Reviews


Having read many reviews on and off Amazon about Manuka honey and the importance of buying honey that is UMF certified and not just active, I went with this product. To save costs, I bought two jars. The first jar was disgusting. It literally tasted like the plastic container it was in. I could not get it down no matter how good I knew it was supposed to be for me. I decided to open the other jar just in case. Good thing I did. That jar was quite tasty. It does not taste or look like more mainstream clover honey, it is thicker with an earthier flavor, but put in tea, it was tasty. So, all I can say is that if you get a batch that tastes like plastic, return it, but don't give up on the product.

Product Description


UMF® stands for "Unique Manuka Factor", and is the trademark for the special antibacterial property found in Manuka Honey. <br/When honey is diluted, a special enzyme the bees have added produces hydrogen peroxide, a well known antibiotic. Manuka Honey has been found to have an antibacterial activity in addition to hydrogen peroxide. No one has so far discovered the substance involved, so it is called UMF® = unique manuka factor. The UMF® number is a standard way of describing the anti-bacterial strength of the honey. The honey is put in a plate with a bacterial culture, and the area is measured where the bacterial growth is stopped. This area is compared to a similar area produced by a solution of phenol and water. The number refers to the percentage of phenol in the water. So UMF® honey is honey that has the same anti-bacterial strength as 10% phenol. Dr Peter Molan from Waikato University has shown during his research that UMF® Manuka honey with a rating of 16+ has more antibacterial properties than other honeys. The research found that UMF®16+ Manuka honey has significant healing properties to when used to treat burns, ulcers and throat and eye infections. It is particularly effective in destroying bacteria associated with peptic ulcers and is an effective wound dressing that assists with the healing process. UMF® Manuka honey can be both taken internally and applied externally

This is ordinary Manuka raw honey. Honey is very good for you, especially Manuka, and in this case, you get what you pay for. It's expensive because it's Manuka, and certified. My only complaint is the price.
Not too different in flavor from clover honey. Thick, opaque and textured. If you want Manuka honey, this is the honey you get. It doesn't need to be pasteurized because honey naturally prevents bacteria growth, does not spoil, and Manuka honey is especially naturally antiseptic. Unique Manuka Factor ("UMF") refers to the level of antiseptic strength.
This is Manuka honey. It doesn't come in different artificial flavors with colors and additives. If artificial flavoring and high-fructose corn syrup are more important to you, save your money and suck on a cheap lollipop.

I started using Manuka honey when my Yorkies began experiencing stomach problems. Just a little bit on a small piece of bread a few times per week and alls well. There's several studies on this product and all have been favorable. I was hesitant to gives it to my dogs but they had severe problems once a month and I hated seeing them in pain not eating for days at a time. The Manuka has been a miracle and well worth the price for it's intended use. If you want a sweetner in your tea, buy the cheap stuff. If you want to cure a nasty stomach problem for you or your pets, try Manuka. Get at least a +16.

Customer Reviews


UMF20+ Manuka Honey saved my Dad's life! He had an incurable staph infection on his leg for 10 years that he caught from swimming in the ocean. The doctors had him on every antibiotic you can think of, but it never heeled. The infection was slowly moving up his leg and he couldn't stop it, and was making him sicker and sicker every day. We thought he was going to die from it. I researched a cure for "incurable staph" on the internet and found this honey. He coated his leg with it and his sores were all heeled within a week! The infection may still be there but the sore are all gone. All he has now is some red spots. He no longer has to take pain pills every day, and he has not been back to the stupid doctors since. If you have a skin infection, buy this. It is worth the money!

Update 11/17/10 When I created this review, the product being sold was HNZ Honey New Zealand Active 20+ honey. This product listing has been changed to an unknown brand.
This quote is taken from the HNZ website Q ; A regarding the difference between "UMF" and "ACTIVE" Manuka. I don't know who posted the "Product Description" for this product, but it is wrong and falsely leading consumers to purchase something they think is UMF. I am not discrediting the Active 20+ Manuka honey from HNZ. It may be just as healthy as UMF 20+. I have the Active 30+ and it tastes amazing, like caramel. In fact, the Active honey HNZ sells is the best honey I have ever tasted.
""What is the difference between `UMF' ; `Active' Manuka Honey?
Not all Manuka honey has UMF (Non peroxide) activity and we differentiate this by using the names UMF Manuka and Active Manuka Honey.
UMF Manuka Honey guarantees a Non Peroxide activity that is based on the UMF testing regime initiated by Prof. Molan. This in turn is measured against a standard Phenol (antiseptic/anti bacterial) solution to gauge the relative strength of the Non Peroxide activity against Phenol. So, UMF 20+ Manuka honey guarantees antibacterial Non Peroxide Activity (UMF) level of 20+.
For example, Honey New Zealand's Active 20+ honey guarantees honey's total antibacterial activity level of 20+. This Total Activity is mostly from the Hydrogen Peroxide activity of honey (as opposed to the Non Peroxide Activity of UMF Honey).
Both Total (Active) and Non Peroxide (UMF) activities are tested by certified independent lab in New Zealand.
In regards to health benefits, UMF is more stable over time, does not break down with heat, light or body enzymes and may even grow in strength over time.""

Product Description


Confused about what Manuka Honey product you should purchase? Manuka Health New Zealand rates their products healthful benefits by the most up-to-date system available.Concerned about UMF level? Don't be UMF is no longer the most accurate way to rate Manuka Honey! MGO = Methylglyoxal What is that? It is the scientific compound responsible for giving Manuka Honey its health-giving antibacterial quality.What's another benefit? It is SO much easier to rate products. MGO 100+ = 100mg dietary Methyglyoxal per kilogram. Identifying the amount of dietary Methyglyoxal in every batch of Manuka Honey sets a New, Stringent, Higher Standard for quality Manuka Honey. UMF is not standardized and does not measure anything particular in the honey. Unless you see the MGO level there is no way to know what healthful properties are available, if any. It could even be classified as Table Honey!

This honey was suggested for my young son's warts. He had eczema as a baby and rapidly spreading warts is a common link to people with eczema. At our last count he had over 25 warts on his two hands. We tried everything to get rid of them from over-the-counter products to several doctor visits to 'freeze' the warts. Nothing was successful. Finally a plastic surgeon recommended this honey because of its success in patients with eczema and psoriasis. Within a week of using the honey the warts were visibly much smaller. Now that the honey is gone so are the warts! We are so pleased that our little guy didn't have to go through any more painful treatments! It is a miracle!

I am very pleased to have found an all natural treatment for so many conditions. I have used this honey for a nasal staph infection I had that wouldn't go away with oral antibiotics. I felt completely safe using honey rather than artificial ingredients inside my nose. After using manuka for a week, the staph infection cleared up. I've used this honey for cuts, burns and any kind of rash (as a massage therapist, I've picked up a few skin conditions) that develops and it has never failed to heal them. When used internally, it's helpful for fighting off colds or at the very least, cutting its duration. This is an amazing product!

Customer Reviews


This is an excellent quality Manuka Honey product. There is a bit of confusion over the UMF, MGO and OMA rating thing. UMF is the original and trademarked. MGO is a newer rating system that does not directly correlate to UMF but is accurate nonetheless. OMA is Wedderspoon's own rating system for determining activity within the raw honey. From my reading it appears to be pretty equitable to UMF. This honey is also USDA Organic certified (although that doesn't mean as much these days) to ensure that there are no additive ingredients to the product.
As for usage, I have two jars of this honey. I used the first on my wife's wounds following MOHS surgery for removal of skin cancer. The results were amazing and the surgeon and plastic surgeon both asked what we were using to allow the wounds to heal up so quickly with minimal scarring. There was also a staph infection as a result of the surgery that the honey took care of as well. It takes a bit of diligence to ensure daily dressing changes with fresh honey, but the results pay off. I ended up pre-soaking gauze with the honey and sandwiching between two layers of plastic wrap to create more manageable "bandages". These were used by my wife when she traveled in addition to direct application to the cleaned wound bed.
Basic process: Clean wound with Hydrogen Peroxide, follow with colloidal silver in nebulizer, then drizzle honey into wound and cover wound with pre-soaked gauze pad. The last bit is to cover the pre-soaked pad with a waterproof dressing like a Telfa-style pad to reduce oozing onto clothing/bedding. Care must be taken in finding adhesives that do not irritate the skin too much with the frequent dressing changes. There are also larger waterproof wound dressings with silver-impregnated that might be a good combination. Main idea is to minimize air-space and keep honey in constant contact with wound bed.
If this all sounds new, do some research on honey for wound care at the University of Waikato in New Zealand courtesy of Dr. Peter Molan.
Note, this honey is not "sterilized" via gamma radiation (which is not supposed to reduce activity in the honey like pasteurization) but is still highly effective. Honey is resistant to most any spoilage due to its activity and the sterilization process is just an extra step some honey manufacturer's take (Comvita or Summerglow) to be able to sell their products as medical devices in the US. It will allow the honey to be FDA-approved. Again, as I understand this is not a requirement but is done largely to gain approval for medical usage in hospitals and clinics. Check out Medihoney dressings. BTW, I have also used this topically on oral canker sores with great effect! Sores dissappeared in days and not weeks! Applied directly 3 x day.
Lastly, the other jar I use for tea and even coffee and it is delicious. It has a strong floral taste and finish (as would be expected) and is alittle more viscous than other Manuka honeys I have tried.
I have tried nearly all Manuka honey brands from NZ as I visit often and find this to be a great option for those of us who need a high-quality active raw Manuka honey without paying a load for shipping up the stuff from down under. Or you can just ask a friend heading that way to bring you back some :P

I've been eating domestic raw honey for a while now to soothe my stomach, but turned to the "stronger" (and obviously more expensive) manuka honey after hearing about its healing capabilities.
When I received the Wedderspoon organic manuka honey, I opened it up, and smelled its interesting aroma. It almost has a hint of antiseptic smell to it, along with the sweet honey scent. And it tastes like it smells, but you do get used to it, and it is absolutely delicious. It is thinner and runnier than "Really Raw" brand american honey, so I find myself eating it faster, which is fine except I am about to run out shortly after buying it. But for me, an admittedly starving artist who is notoriously thrifty, it is still definitely worth the money.
So what has it done for me?
It calms my heartburn, helps my digestion, reduces nausea associated with IBS, and I've used it on a skin infection with great success. All while being completely natural and delicious.
I am very pleased with this honey - if you've read about the benefits of manuka honey you will be pleased to find that it does everything they says it does [and more].
I will be ordering one more jar from Amazon, before moving to New Zealand at the end of the summer, where I will be quite excited to buy it locally!

Manuka honey for acne will be often claimed to be much more effective and even more boosted from the properties mentioned above.

5 Advice for Applying Manuka Honey acne


Manuka honey for acne was have most press coverage for the excellent herbal treatment properties,and also a growing lots of individuals are finding that a helpful naturally product to apply for pimple. However there are some factor of over-hypeand also misleading advertising of the honey today.The first critical factor is the fact that not every manuka honey can bethe same . Manuka honey has been earned its treatment reputation based on the reliable scientific evidence of special additional antibacterial properties.
To take care of consumers, and also make sure they are receiving the equal quality from product for the reasons that analysis is dependant on, there's an industry standart just for a UMF® manuka honey. Solely some honey which can complies with the standard to work with any UMF® symbol on its label (as in opposition to implying regarding it in marketing).The UMF® standard is not solely measures the extra nonperoxide antibacterial capacity from the honey, however includes a broader quality standard, as an illustration also not enabling for  the usage of an imitation the booster (that can be manipulates the activity reading).
The one of exception is for specific medical quality products which have been through a separated official medical agreement (such as FDA agreement for those Medihoney Apinate dressings, or may be Manuka treatment sterilised honey receiving a medical equipment license in Europe).When the honey is simply branded as 'active', than the problems is some companies will apply this to measure any hydrogen peroxide movement, or the total movement, both of that are not identical for the UMF® rating (that is what the analysis behind manuka honey supports) Any types of honey are active to some degrees.
Back about pimple again
The special additional antibacterial properties present in a number of manuka honey jointly with the wound treating effectiveness for these makes a naturally occurring product excellent in so many cases for pimple. Did you been know that medical studies about medical classes manuka honey (such as the Manuka treatment product) on severe wounds like a leg ulcers has been shown excellent positive results?

Tip First
Use medical class manuka honey directly to the wound or spots or a pimple area. This is places the special antibacterial properties and also treatment strength right into direct actions arround the infected spot. This also gives excellent exfra moisturising properties. The one down side is ussualy on a practical level, like when using the pure honey can make a layer of honey to the skin.

Tip second
Consuming manuka honey (UMF) is great for you, however can only have an indirect ( rather than direct) effect on any pimple. By maximizing your digestive system. And it in turn allow your body for helping itself. Do not hope a quick fix with getting this honey internally, although this will help as part of an overall healthiness campaign.

Tips third

Where using the clinical grade honey directly in to the pimple isn't correct or effective, then see to apply a great quality manuka honey based skin treatment range which is makes gentle on sensitive skin, and also remains all-natural. Be careful, because of just 'manuka' being on the label, think what quality from honey that they use as well as how much (some products only make use of an extract on the honey, or may be a minimal quantity so this allow them to insert this favorit brand on to their label)
Tip fourth
Keep up all your great skin treatment and also other health activities, such as eating healthy, drinking water and so on. You still wish to make sure you and reduce the pimple to came back.
Tip five
This special honey may also help to reduce scarring, so keep using it as the pimple better to totally help this treatment process. And also remember this is a natural moisturizing, so provides excellent moisturizing benefits whenever used.
