UMF Manuka Honey
Manuka honey is gathered in New Zealand from the manuka bush, Leptospermum scoparium, which grows uncultivated throughout the country. Manuka honey is not only delicious to eat, but is well known throughout the world for its remarkable healing properties. This kind of "active" manuka honey is identified by its UMF rating.
Active UMF manuka honey is often used as a natural remedy to effective treat ailments such as stomach ulcers (and other gastro-intestinal problems), leg ulcers and other open wounds.
All ’active’ (ie antibacterial) manuka honey products have a UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) rating, which is a lab-tested measure of antibacterial activity. UMF 10 is the minimum level for a honey to be labeled UMF; UMF25+ is the strongest commercially-available manuka honey in the world.
Only organizations with a license are allowed to use the UMF trademark, which is your guarantee of actual antibacterial properties.
