The natural sweetness of honey makes it highly
appreciated in tea; nonetheless, its medical value has been appreciating
progressively with more scientific discoveries. However, only smart people have
been able to depict the one type of quality honey that outstand the rest. This
is non-other than Manuka honey that comes from Manuka, a scrubland in New
Zealand. Its therapeutic values have made it the most searched natural honey
globally. Manuka Honey is known to go beyond just curing gingivitis, digestive
illnesses, and Staph infections.
Honey being nature’s most reliable antimicrobial
source, researchers have continually hunted for it from natural sources. So
far, several archeological discovery reports have unearthed pure honey inside
pots in Egyptian royal Tombs. Lately,
there exist over 300 types of honey, shelved in supermarkets. In fact, getting
pure honey today requires you to make a trip to specific health food stores
such as co-op, or order online.
The nutritional profile of Manuka honey makes if
outstand all other processed honey types. Generally, traditional honey that is
raw provides excellent sources for:
· -Amino
acids
· -Calcium
· -Definite
vitamins like B6 and Niacin
· -Cooper
· -Iron
· -Manganese
· -Phosphorus
· -Magnesium
· -Potassium
· -Zinc,
and
· -Sodium
Manuka honey has been confirmed to have four times,
the content value of ordinary flower honey. Particularly, it has high
percentage of resourceful enzymes, as compared to other traditional honey
types. In fact, some brands of Manuka honey contain remarkably stronger
dihydroxyaacetone, methylglyoxal as well as hydrogen peroxide, making it a high
potent antibacterial substance. Those are the three known contents that mark
the UMF (Unique Manuka Factor), which is the globally defined measure of pure
Manuka strength. For you to know if any honey type has the medicinal value
required, ensure it has a UMF label.
UMF Manuka stands out from other varieties since it
has natural occurring hydrogen peroxide besides its UMF agents. That greatly
enhances its efficacy. UMF constituents are very stable and cannot be easily
ruined by light, heat or even enzymes, as is the case with most traditional
types of honey. That tells you there are diverse grades of Manuka honey, and
also, the best way to know a grade has therapeutic value is checking the UMF
trademark.
Check for the below four items that will help you pick
the right product from the existing fakes brought up by imposters.
Pure
and original UMF Manuka Honey must have:
· 1.
A front-side located UMF trademark.
· 2. The
country of origin as New Zealand and the company producing if must be licensed
as labeled.
· 3. A
license number alongside the UMF company title.
· 4. Ratings
alongside the UMF trademark, the ratings must be from 5 to 16 or above. Any
product without these is definitely not authentic.
Important
secretes to note
There is a test used to measure the antibacterial
properties against phenol. The test is called AMHA, while phenol is a
disinfectant. AMHA test compares the
antibacterial properties of specific honey types with phenol. The test put’s it
clear that specific non-peroxide action can be distinguished only by a range of
scientific tests directly associated to phenol standard.
How
this relates to Manuka honey
With phenol standard rating set against Manuka, a
rating ratio of 1 to 1 was established. Hence, the honey that rated UMF 20+
means it has a 20% phenol solution. Picking out the excellent UMF rating varies
or simply depends on a person’s individual needs. Recent clinical tests reveal that Manuka
honey with non-peroxide action level from UMF12 to UMF15 stands more effective
against a wide range of resistant bacteria.
The guide below will help you establish the precise
leveled UMF Manuka Honey that suits your needs.
-
Level 0 to 4 UMF: is best for
non-therapeutic value.
-
Level 4 to 9 UMF: is best for level health
maintenance.
-
Level 10 to 14 UMF: helps and enhances
natural healing processes.
-
Level 15 to 20 UMF: is the highest and
contains high therapeutic phenols
