Manuka Honey - On Everyone's Lips
A look at the properties of Manuka honey shows why this very special honey is enjoying increasing attention and popularity.
Its power far exceeds that of all other honeys and is even considered a "natural antibiotic". For centuries, the Maori, the indigenous people of New Zealand, have used it both internally and externally for medicinal purposes. It is effective against bacteria, viruses and fungal infections. Manuka honey also has antiseptic and antioxidant properties. It is also increasingly used in conventional medicine. A true elixir of life!
309 Manuka Honey” – a gift for life.
When applied externally, it helps with wounds, herpes, styes, eczema, neurodermatitis and mycoses. In conventional medicine, it is already used for burns and alternative practitioners also recommend it for healing scars after operations.
Its exceptional effect on colds, fevers, coughs, sore throats, sinusitis and flu is ideal at this time of year. It strengthens the immune system, provides physical well-being and even helps against insomnia.
Manuka is also used very successfully in cosmetics. Its strong antibacterial active ingredients are a real miracle cure for pimples and acne. Manuka honey also has a moisturizing and regenerating effect, which is why it is ideal for skin care.
The “very personal” import + doing good
When Stefan Jonas, director of the well-known television series “Sturm der Liebe”, came to New Zealand for the first time a few years ago and drove through a remote, fairytale valley on the Coromandel Peninsula, he came across this extraordinary honey.
He is already doing charity work when shipping. The social service for disabled integration, "Pfennigparade," handles the sending of orders via his website and is thus financially supported. And Stefan Jonas invests the profits from the sales in inventors and companies that produce and sell plastic made from hemp. "This honey is a special gift from nature - and its sale should do good in the world and make a contribution to combating environmental pollution."
MGO - Is Manuka the same as Manuka?
Through his "very personal" contact with the beekeepers and direct import, Stefan Jonas guarantees the authenticity and the gentle, species-appropriate production of the honey. He has also opted for a value of MGO 300+, as it can be used for all of the diseases described above and can still be offered at an attractive price.
The MGO content ( M ethyl G ly O xal) represents the amount of the active ingredient in milligrams per kilogram of honey. Other honeys usually have 2 to 20 mg MGO/kg maximum. Manuka honey is therefore unique in the world and many times stronger in its antioxidant effect.
The 300+ mg/kg MGO content of “309 Manuka Honey” is tested in the laboratory by government institutes in New Zealand and additionally tested and confirmed in Germany by the Technical University of Food Chemistry Dresden, Professor Henle.
