Manuka Honey as a Natural MRSA Treatment
Manuka Honey is a premium medical grade honey that is being used as a natural MRSA treatment and exclusively found in the New Zealand region. It has been determined that this unique type of honey contains extraordinary healing properties that are being used as a natural MRSA treatment plus has applications for a wide spectrum of other health conditions such as acne, wounds, eczema, ringworm and even wrinkles.
Most people think of honey as merely a food item. However, honey is gaining its well-deserved notoriety for its medicinal value because of its powerful antibacterial properties. There are four main characteristics of honey that are responsible for its ability to kill bacteria: Osmolarity, acidity, hydrogen peroxide and floral nectar: Osmolarity Honey is a supersaturated solution of sugar that is high in osmolarity. It is this osmolarity that allows honey to destroy bacteria and fungus by drawing moisture from their cells. Fungal and bacterial cells require moisture to survive. Therefore, honey destroys bacteria and fungi by dehydration.
Acidity In addition to honey's osmotic effect, its acidity plays an important role in its antibacterial activity. Honey contains a number of acids, including amino acids and organic acids. Honey has a pH between 3.2 and 4.5 which inhibits the growth of bacteria. The optimum pH for growth of these species normally falls between 7.2 and 7.4.
Hydrogen Peroxide The hydrogen peroxide producing capacity of honey is believed to be the main reason for its antibacterial activity. Hydrogen peroxide kills bacteria on contact and has been widely used for that very purpose. However, straight hydrogen peroxide is unstable and rapidly loses its effectiveness when exposed to air and light. It can also damage tissue when used in high concentrations. However, honey produces low levels of hydrogen peroxide over a prolonged period of time. This slow-release capability makes honey particularly ideal for treating infected wounds. Floral Nectar The variations of honey's antibacterial properties are predicated on the floral source, or more specifically, the nectar used by the honeybees that produce the honey. Some types of honey contain more antibacterial properties than others. It has been determined that Manuka Honey from New Zealand has the highest amount of antibacterial properties of all types of honey, making it my choice for a natural MRSA treatment. Manuka Honey is gathered by bees from Manuka tree flowers which can be found predominately in New Zealand and certain parts of Australia. It is believed that the floral components of Manuka Honey enhance the other antimicrobial properties that are present, creating a synergistic action that is optimal for therapeutic use.
In addition to Manuka Honey's antimicrobial properties, it has been determined that it stimulates B-lymphocytes and T-lymphocytes to multiply, which boosts the the body's immune system aiding in natural MRSA treatment. Manuka Honey also contains anti-inflammatory properties which can help reduce pain and is rich in vitamins, antioxidants and amino acids. When taken orally, Manuka Honey is effective in treating conditions such as stomach aches, stomach ulcers, sore throats, strep throat, acid reflux disease, gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome, cold and flu symptoms, etc. When used topically on the skin, Manuka Honey is effective in treating infected wounds, burns, eczema, ringworm, acne, and most importantly to you and me, MRSA staph infections.
