This raw honey kills all types of bacteria that scientists could submit to it (even the superbugs!)

Honey is one of the miracles of nature, and despite its incredibly delicious taste, it offers many health benefits. Honey has powerful antibacterial properties, but one of the most potent types of honey is Manuka honey.

This is a honey bee product that feeds on manuka. It has a unique dark brown color and stronger medicinal properties than ordinary honey. Raw honey has been used by all ancient civilizations, particularly in the treatment of wounds and infections, because of its powerful disinfectant properties.

According to Dr. Josh Ax, DC, DMN, CNS:

"The benefits of Manuka honey have long been praised in the world of natural health, and even more so in recent years, as a growing body of research is beginning to support thousands of years of traditional medicine use. Some of the main uses of Manuka honey include:

• Attenuates bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine, relieves the stomach with low acidity, acid reflux
• Can help treat acne and eczema
• Combat staph infections (MRSA)
• Treat burns, wounds and ulcers
• Prevents tooth decay and gingivitis
• Help in the treatment of irritable bowel and inflammatory bowel diseases
• Improves sore throat and immunity
• Relieves allergies
• Beauty treatment and health booster
• Improve sleep " 

Manuka honey inhibits more than 60 different species of bacteria, viruses and fungi, and is rich in antioxidants and natural compounds such as peptides, phenolics, organic acids and enzymes.

The antibacterial qualities of Manuka honey also result from the high level of acidity, due to the large quantities of naturally occurring hydrogen peroxide. Manuka honey was found to destroy Staphylococcus aureus, or staph infections, as well as Helicobacter pylori, a stomach-related stomach cancer.

Scientists are increasingly concerned about antimicrobial resistance, as the repeated process of offering new antibiotics to destroy previously drug-resistant microbial strains will lead to the appearance of "superbugs". These superbugs will eventually become resistant to all antibiotics, so fight with natural antibiotics.

Manuka honey is thought to be the alternative. Experts point out its antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties, and studies have shown that these strains do not become resistant to manuka honey over time.

Therefore, Manuka honey can be used as a topical and oral natural antibiotic. It can be applied on scrapes, wounds, scratches and infected areas. It is also effective if taken orally in the treatment of infections of the stomach and intestines.
