The Benefits of Manuka Honey

 Manuka Honey is not your average honey. This raw honey is full of naturally occurring properties that can support good health in various ways. Keep reading to discover more.

 I have enjoyed Manuka honey in my tea for many years, but I never knew the full benefits of this honey. Last month, I attended Expo West, and I met up with a representative from Wedderspoon Manuka Honey. 

While at the Wedderspoon Manuka Honey booth, I tasted many of their Manuka honey products and learned about what makes their honey different from other honey brands. I also learned about where Manuka honey comes from and the benefits of this delicious honey.

Where does Manuka honey come from?

Most people know that honey comes from bees. While Manuka honey comes from bees, this honey gets its name Manuka from the flower that the bees get the nectar from. Bees produce manuka honey from the nectar of manuka flowers. 

Manuka Flowers

 Mānuka is a species of flowering plant that is native to New Zealand. This plant is used to make medicinal teas and other remedies for treating fevers, digestive issues, coughing, and respiratory conditions.

What makes Manuka Honey so special?

Bees produce manuka honey from the nectar of manuka flowers. As manuka honey can only be made in New Zealand, its supply is limited. This makes it scarcer and more expensive compared to honeys made from other flowers.

What is the KFACTOR™?

The KFactor methodology goes above and beyond the MPI regulations for Manuka Honey and is comprised of five ‘key factors’ which focus on the holistic qualities of authentic Manuka Honey. Manuka honey is made up of a number of distinct components, elements, and micronutrients that work in harmony to produce this multifaceted superfood. Manuka is simply more powerful than the sum of its parts.

The Benefits of Manuka Honey

 Manuka honey is known for its many health benefits. The benefits of this honey can be enjoyed in many ways, from a hot cup of tea to eating it by the spoonful. Wedderspoon has many other products that contain their delicious honey. From honey drops to apple cider vinegar, all the way to containers of honey, this honey has many health benefits.

Immune Support

 Manuka Honey has been used historically to support and boost the immune system. Wedderspoon Manuka Honey offers natural immune support. Give your body a little immunity boost by incorporating Wedderspoon Manuka Honey into your daily routine. Try this honey in a delicious cup of tea or in a soothing honey lozenge.

Digestive Support

Manuka Honey contains properties that support digestive health, and it is known to be used to promote good gut health. Taking a spoonful of Wedderspoon Manuka Honey a day, or using it in a daily meal, can be beneficial.

Natural Source of Energy

Say goodbye to your mid-day coffee or energy drink and say hello to Manuka Honey. Manuka Honey naturally consists of glucose and fructose, which provide energy. Manuka Honey provides a slower release of energy when compared to sugar and non-Manuka honeys. This means you won’t get an instant sugar rush or high, but rather a more gradual, sustainable energy boost, which is ideal.
