Description

Manuka honey does offer quite a bit of health benefits. It's crucial, though, to remember that it’s still considered a significant form of sugar, Richard notes. “It has a place and a purpose, but it’s not an essential must-have condiment every single day,” and consuming it in small amounts — a drizzle or up to about a teaspoon — is best. Another benefit of Manuka honey is it’s moisturising and soothing properties when applied directly to the skin. You can even mix it up into a face mask! So, whether you spread it over your toast in the morning, add it to a smoothie or use it in your beauty routine – it's the new kitchen and beauty staple.

If you suffer from a bee allergy, using or consuming manuka honey could result in an allergic reaction.

For example, if too much honey is consumed, it may cause a spike in blood sugar, as one tablespoon of Manuka honey contains approximately 16 grams of sugar. 7 Schell KR, Fernandes KE, Shanahan E, et al.

Evid Based Complement Alternat Med. 2017;2017:5413917. doi:10.1155/2017/5413917 As the name suggests, monofloral means that the honey comes from bees that have predominantly collected nectar from the Manuka bush. There is vigorous testing surrounding this bold claim, and two of the four chemical manuka markers in the final honey product must meet a higher level than those in multifloral honey.

Dissolve it into hot water or tea (it’s delicious with Jasmine tea) or just sip it from a spoon to soothe the throat. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the use of manuka honey for wound treatment.Multifloral means that the bees visit many other floral sources and bushes as well as the manuka bush – but of course the Manuka bush will always be its favourite. It still has to be tested and found to contain ‘wholly or mainly’ nectar from the Manuka bush. This is done with the same naturally occurring marker test and pollen test that all Manuka honey is bound to. Manuka honey is produced by bees that feed on the flowers of what's known as the manuka bush, natively found in Australia and New Zealand. The honey is monofloral in nature, meaning it’s made strictly from the nectar of one type of flower. The plant only flowers four to six weeks a year, which gives bees a short window of time to collect nectar. Manuka honey is pricier than other varieties due to its stringent harvesting process. Manuka honey, like any other honey, is a simple sugar made up of fructose and glucose,” says Flora. “It’s best to limit the amount of simple and added sugars in your diet each day. Too much sugar can contribute to excess calories, which can increase your risk for weight gain, inflammation, liver disease, heart disease and Type 2 diabetes.”
