Top 8 Benefits of Natural New Zealand Mānuka Honey

Mānuka Honey Benefits

To get the most beneficial Mānuka Honey, buy from a genuine New Zealand source like SummerGlow Apiaries. Mānuka Honey’s unique qualities and benefits begin from its unique environment – a naturally pure and wonderful product created in a naturally pure and beautiful land.

1. New Zealand's natural environment produces unique Mānuka Honey benefits.

In keeping with New Zealand’s naturally beautiful philosophy, SummerGlow maximise the Mānuka Honey benefits by using manuka which grows wild in its natural state. 

New Zealand is famous for its beautiful scenery and fresh, clean air. From majestic mountain ranges with crystal clear streams running to the sea, to thermal wonderlands, fiords and vast native forest, New Zealand has it all. It is frequently voted one of the most beautiful countries in the world.

New Zealand has a very low population density and as New Zealanders we are very connected to our land. Keeping New Zealand pristine is so important to us that we have devoted 30% of our land area to national parks and other protected areas.

Within this beautiful natural landscape, the Manuka tree is found. Manuka (Leptospermum scoparium) is a unique form of tea tree, growing freely in the beautiful native bush and pasturelands of New Zealand. This is where the benefits of Mānuka Honey begin. It can grow to 5m tall and boasts large white and pink flowers. 

SummerGlow is one of New Zealand’s leading producers of quality Mānuka Honey. They position beehives on spray-free, chemical-free protected conservation wetlands and on the very steep hillsides of some of New Zealand's most remote wilderness areas in the isolated Forgotten World area of North Taranaki.

Bees gather nectar from the manuka flowers, producing a dark and delicious natural sweetener, loaded with its special properties.

“Every drop of our Mānuka Honey is produced by our own bees on 1640 acres of manuka-growing land which we own, and in which we have had hives for the past 43 years. We do not buy honey from any other beekeepers.” James Jeffrey, General Manager of SummerGlow

Mānuka Honey is one of the natural wonders of New Zealand. People from all over the world are growing in awareness of its unique properties and benefits. SummerGlow now have more than 3500 beehives located in the greater Waikato region (central North Island), in the pristine bush areas of the northern King Country, and in the remote Forgotten World region of Taranaki, North Island, New Zealand.

2. High level of Leptosperin identifies genuine Mānuka Honey.

The presence of Leptosperin gives consumers a means of knowing which honey is genuine Mānuka Honey.

Mānuka Honey is made up of several compounds that are found only in the honey produced from New Zealand's native manuka bush. One of the dominant compounds is Leptosperin. Leptosperin is a good indicator of the "manuka-ness" of honey.

The higher the level of Leptosperin, the greater the presence of the unique Mānuka Honey attributes and benefits.

A ground-breaking Mānuka Honey Identification Project (2013-2016) carried out by New Zealand's UMF Honey Association has shown each floral type of honey has its own chemical fingerprint and identity ensuring consumers a means of knowing which honey is real, genuine Mānuka Honey.

The Mānuka Honey Identification Project has identified a number of potentially worthwhile chemical markers and has focused on four of these markers to develop a scientifically based classification criteria for Mānuka Honey that will give confidence to consumers who want to purchase quality authentic Mānuka Honey.  

The very best of the four dominant marker compounds of Mānuka Honey is Leptosperin and is present only in the nectar of the flower of the manuka plant.

How to make sure you get the full benefits of Mānuka Honey.

If you want to make sure that you are getting all the benefits of Leptosperin, ask your supplier for the relevant UMF Test Certificate for the honey you purchase.

SummerGlow always supply the certificate with every order. The certificate shows that we specialise in very high grade UMF16+ and UMF22+ Mānuka Honey, with very high Leptosperin levels of 900-1000mg/kg.

3. Mānuka Honey contains natural chemicals that make it unique.

Mānuka Honey is made up of many compounds that are found only in the honey produced from New Zealand's native manuka bush. The three main compounds are:

Dihydroxyacetone (DHA):  DHA is the compound that originates within the nectar of the Manuka plant, this converts to MGO when the bees are processing the nectar within the hive.

The good news is that a Mānuka Honey sample with a high DHA concentration has the potential to turn into a Mānuka Honey with higher MG concentration than a comparable Mānuka Honey sample with a low DHA concentration.

Methylglyoxal (MGO):  This has been shown to be effective in supporting the body’s immune system. MGO is one of the active compounds that gives Mānuka Honey its unique properties.

MGO in Manuka is very stable when exposed to heat, light, and conditions within the human body.

MGO can also support healthy skin, gut bacteria, the body’s natural healing process, as well as many other benefits.

Leptosperin: Leptosperin’s bioactivity is currently being studied at the University of Auckland. These studies are exciting and have been shown to support healthy living. Leptosperin was more recently discovered by Dr Kato of Japan and is one of several thousand identified compounds that are totally unique to Mānuka Honey.

This makes Mānuka Honey superior to other kinds of honey, as its potency is not destroyed when subjected to human body conditions and internal enzymes.

So, while all high-quality honey can be a healthy food, Mānuka Honey provides significantly more benefits than other types of honey.

4. Mānuka Honey's special properties support healthy levels of gut bacteria.

It is well known that our digestive system uses several types of beneficial bacteria. Healthy levels of these good bacteria help us digest food and keep our gut healthy.

But sometimes there are also harmful bacteria.

Mānuka Honey has been shown to support healthy levels of beneficial gut bacteria , and a healthy digestive system.

It is well known that our digestive system uses several types of beneficial bacteria. Healthy levels of these good bacteria help us digest food and keep our gut healthy.

Experts say that by balancing the bacteria in your gut, Mānuka Honey can soothe digestion and support immunity.

How to support optimum gut health.

If you want to try Mānuka Honey for gut health, why not try mixing it with other gut-friendly foods? Here are some ideas:

  • Swirl a spoon of Mānuka Honey into some plain live yoghurt, which contains probiotic bacteria.
  • Add a little Mānuka Honey to a fruit salad – fruit is rich in fibre, essential for feeding good gut bugs.
  • Spread Mānuka Honey onto a fibre-dense oat cake and add chopped banana, another effective prebiotic.

5. Mānuka Honey's unique properties has advantages for optimum dental health.

Yes, Mānuka Honey contains high levels of sugar. However, one of the benefits of Mānuka Honey is that it is not a refined sugar like sucrose. Even though it can be sweeter than white sugar, it has significantly higher levels of nutrients.

Some of these nutrients support healthy gums and teeth.

Researchers from the School of Dentistry, University of Otago discovered that chewing or sucking a Mānuka Honey product can support oral hygiene in several ways.

One of the ways that Mānuka Honey supports optimum oral hygiene is by balancing healthy and harmful bacteria levels.

“Honey may be a healthful substitute for refined sugars, such as white sugar… Unlike refined white sugar, honey also contains vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.” - Medical News Today. 

Due to the higher levels of MGO, Mānuka Honey may be better for your teeth than both white sugar and normal honey.

So, which Mānuka Honey is best for your oral health? The higher the UMF rating the better. We recommend for ideal oral health at least a UMF strength of 15.

How To Use Mānuka Honey for Optimal Oral Health

Four powerful ways to use Mānuka Honey to support your dental care.

  • Mouthwash: Replace your everyday mouthwash with Mānuka Honey. Unlike mass-produced mouthwashes, this honey supports a healthy balance between healthy and harmful bacteria to maintain a healthy mouth.
  • Toothpaste: Apply some Mānuka Honey to your toothbrush and brush your teeth with it.
  • Gum massage: Rub a drop of Mānuka Honey directly on your gums.
  • Ingest it normally: You can simply swallow a spoonful or add Mānuka Honey to your tea.

As you can see, using Mānuka Honey for your oral health is simple and easy.

Of course, while honey is safe for most adults, children and people with diabetes need to be careful when consuming Mānuka Honey, as it is high in sugar. Consult your GP for advice.

6. Mānuka Honey delivers a beautiful soothing sensation for your throat.

A hot honey and lemon drink has been used for centuries during wintertime.

The benefits of honey are so well recognised, that Mānuka Honey is a key ingredient in many winter wellness products including throat lozenges and sprays.

In 2018 guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and Public Health England (PHE) suggested honey as a first-line treatment to support winter wellness.

In the UK honey is frequently recommended as a soothing and nutritional option for both adults and children aged over 5 years, rather than some conventional alternatives.

The honey creates a soothing coating on the throat. As well as soothing your throat, Mānuka Honey has the added benefit of supporting your immunity.

Here’s how to enjoy Mānuka Honey’s soothing effect.

  • Simply mix two tablespoons of honey with a warm glass of water or tea, and drink as needed. 
  • However, it is best enjoyed without overheating it. For this reason, steep your tea first, then add the honey when it has cooled slightly.
  • Another option is chewing or sucking on Mānuka Honey products – check the UMF rating first to make sure that it contains sufficient MGO.

7. Mānuka Honey supports radiant, healthy skin that you will love.

For thousands of years, ancient civilisations have understood the benefits of applying honey to the skin.

Mānuka Honey contains bioactive agents, including MGO, flavonoids and phenolic compounds that may be the reason why honey is thought to support beautiful, healthy skin.

However, as with other Mānuka Honey benefits, the strength and purity of the Mānuka is important. Most studies are based on medical grade Mānuka Honey.

How to get the benefits for your skin.

Make sure to apply the honey after wetting your face, or else it will be too sticky. Once it mixes with water, the honey's natural tackiness will be neutralized. Be careful to avoid getting the honey in or around your eyes.

  • Take a spoonful of honey and spread all over your face. Experiment over time with how much you need. Rub it into your skin and let sit for 5-30 minutes. Rinse with warm water.
  • If you’re feeling adventurous, mix together 1 tbsp buttermilk, 1 tsp honey, and 1 egg yolk. Gently spread over clean skin and let sit 20 minutes. Rinse with warm but not water.
  • Combine 2 teaspoons of ground almonds with 2 teaspoons honey to form a paste. Rub into your face with a circular motion. Rinse with warm water. You could easily increase the quantities to treat your whole body.
  • If you’re feeling that dry winter skin coming on, mix a spoonful of honey with a teaspoon of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice (a natural skin brightener). Apply this lotion to dry areas and let sit for 20 minutes. Wipe off with a warm washcloth.

8. Mānuka Honey’s acidic profile supports the body's natural wound healing process.

In Māori traditional healing, Rongoā Māori, the New Zealand Mānuka tree is thought to have special properties. Traditionally all parts of the tree were used to soothe and support the body.

In 1981, researchers from the University of Waikato discovered that Mānuka Honey contains higher level of certain enzymes than regular honey.

While most honeys contain a naturally occurring hydrogen peroxide (HPA), the researchers found that Mānuka Honey appeared to have what has been termed ‘the Unique Manuka Factor (UMF)’. 

Fast forward to 2008 and Professor Thomas Henle, (Head of the Institute of Food Chemistry at the Technical University of Dresden), demonstrated that a high potency of MGO is one of the active ingredients that provides Mānuka Honey with its unique properties that, in turn, support healing.

Researchers found that when they destroyed the NPA in most honey (via exposure to heat, light and internal body conditions), the MGO in Manuka was still a stable and highly beneficial enzyme. This occurrence makes Mānuka Honey superior to other kinds of honey, as its potency is not destroyed when subjected to human body conditions and internal enzymes.  

How to support healing.

There are many medical-grade Mānuka Honey products that can be used to support healing. Hospitals buy specific Mānuka Honey products, but there is also a range available to consumers called Medihoney – including Wound Gel, Derma Cream and Skintensive Cream.

Antibacterial Mānuka Honey Wound Gel.

The wound gel gives a good example of how these products can be used to support would healing.
