As the threat of Staph infections and antibiotic-resistant strains of
bacteria sweep the nation, patients seek refuge in a special type of honey that
is working where traditional forms of medicine have failed.
Honey has been used for treating infections for many years. Recent studies have shown that medical grade active Manuka Honey is the most potent type of honey. Honeybees make Manuka Honey by using the nectar of the flowers that grow on the Manuka bush, indigenous to New Zealand. Scientists have discovered that this particular type of honey contains extraordinary antibacterial properties, capable of treating even the most hard-to-heal wounds. Even though all types of honey contain hydrogen peroxide, active Manuka Honey contains additional antibacterial and antimicrobial properties that are unaffected by heat, light or when diluted. This is why Manuka Honey is being used for medical purposes over other types of honey.
Manuka Honey is now being used to treat burns, insect bites and stings, bed sores, wounds, acne, poison ivy , diabetic wounds, scratches, cuts, abrasions and chronic wounds. However, one of the most notable uses of Manuka Honey is the topical application in preventing and treating antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as MRSA (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus ) and VRE (vancomycin-enterococci). Some people have reason to believe that MRSA could end up casing more deaths than AIDS in the future. This type of Staph infection used to be contracted mostly in hospitals and medical facilities. However, MRSA is now spreading through out our communities, infecting people at schools, gyms, restaurants, hotels, swimming pools, prisons, etc.
These types of infections used to be treatable with antibiotics. However, resilient forms of bacteria have immerged, showing a resistance to antibiotics. The Staph bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) can be found anywhere. It is estimated that approximately 20% to 25% of the population has Staph located on the surface of their skin. However, only about 1% of the population will be infected through wounds or breaks in the skin. Manuka Honey is now being used as an ingredient in wound care dressings in order to treat these infections and destroy the super-bugs associated with MRSA.
Manuka Honey is capable of destroying MRSA because it destroys the resilient bacterium by drawing water out of the cells, making it impossible for it to survive. In fact, there has been no reported types of bacteria that have been able to develop a resistance to Manuka Honey. This is becoming of increased interest within the medical community, as doctors scramble to find alternatives to traditional forms of medicine.
Like all honey, Manuka Honey is sticky and not particularly desirable when used topically on the skin. However, Honeymark has developed a special formula combining active Manuka Honey with other ingredients, making an antiseptic lotion that is user-friendly with a smooth, comfortable application. Honeymark's First Aid Antiseptic Lotion heals wounds and burns while protecting against bacterial contamination and skin infection, including MRSA-related Staph infections. As an OTC wound care product, it offers a viable alternative to the use of antibiotics which have proven to be increasingly more ineffective.
