Did you know that just 1-2 tablespoons of this ancient substance per day can not only keep the doctor away, it can also improve practically every aspect of your health? The use of honey for medicinal and healing purposes dates back to ancient Egyptian as well as Biblical times! And Manuka honey is now considered one of the most potent forms of honey in the world.
A 'good deal' on Honey is not always a sweet deal…
Currently produced in New Zealand by bees that pollinate the Manuka bush, Manuka honey is typically raw and unfiltered compared to other honeys that may be pasteurised, filtered, comb liquid, or whipped. You really must be careful where you purchase honey, because not all honeys offer the same nutritional benefit or healing properties. Thus, those honeys tend to cost less money or be more widely available.
Raw and unfiltered honey is loaded with:
- Amino Acids
- B vitamins (B6, thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid)
- Calcium
- Copper
- Iron
- Magnesium
- Manganese
- Phosphorous
- Potassium
- Sodium
- Zinc
Nevertheless, you should consider purchasing Manuka honey which boasts 4 times the amount of the nutrients listed above!
