BUY MANUKA HONEY
Manuka Honey is unique to New Zealand so the best way to buy Manuka honey is direct from New Zealand. We recommend these online stores for your Manuka Honey purchase as they both provide a worldwide delivery service.
Active Manuka Honey is collected by honeybees from Manuka and Kanuka flowers. Manuka (Leptospermum Scoparium) and Kanuka (Kunzea Ericoides) are both tall shrubs, Kanuka reaching 15 m and Manuka 4 m in height. They occur in predominantly low land areas throughout
Both the Manuka and Kanuka plants have historically been used by Maori and early European settlers for medicinal purposes. These include use of the bark as a poultice, for colds, flu, and stomach aches. Both plants are called "tea tree" because the leaves were used to make tea.

MANUKA HONEY HEALTH BENEFITS
The UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) rating identifies the level of anti-bacterial activity of UMF Active Manuka Honey. The higher the rating of the UMF Honey the higher the antibacterial activity. This activity is due primarily to hydrogen peroxide formed in a "slow-release" manner by the enzyme glucose oxidase present in honey and this can vary widely in potency. Some honeys are no more antibacterial than sugar, while others can be diluted more than 100-fold and still halt the growth of bacteria. UMF Manuka Honey is the only Manuka Honey available that is independently tested and certified before it is packed and sold.
Manuka Honey has a wonderful taste so can be enjoyed just like any other eating honey.
