The science behind the medicinal properties of Australian Manuka honey:

Humans have used honey for its healing properties for thousands of years, and now with on‐going research scientists are able to explain the reasons behind its medicinal power. We are also starting to understand that some honeys are hundreds of times more powerful than others. The medicinal power of honey all
comes down to which plant flowers bees visit to collect the nectar that they turn into honey.

Manuka honey (from Leptospermum species plants) is one of the most famous honeys in the world because there have been numerous scientific studies showing that this honey kills superbugs and stimulates wound healing.

The special properties of Manuka honey were first found in New Zealand in the 1980s (Molan & Russell, 1988) and since then we have discovered many sources of active Manuka honey in Australia stemming from the Leptospermum species (Cokcetin et al. 2016). This isn’t surprising as Australia is home to the largest diversity of Leptospermum plants in the world, and we have more than 80 species compared to New Zealand’s one! Our native Leptospermum plants are found throughout Australia, and grow in some of the most pristine natural environments in the world.

What makes Manuka honey so special?

A natural compound called methylglyoxal (MGO) is responsible for much of the unique activity of Manuka honey. The MGO comes from a component, called dihydroxyacetone (DHA), which occurs organically in the nectar of flowers of some Leptospermum plants.
