Manuka Honey - On Everyone's Lips
A look at the properties of Manuka honey reveals why this very special honey is enjoying increasing attention and popularity.
Its potency far exceeds that of all other honeys and it is even considered a "natural antibiotic." For centuries, it has been used by the Maori, the indigenous people of New Zealand, for medicinal purposes both internally and externally. It works against bacteria, viruses, and fungal infections. Manuka honey is also antiseptic and antioxidant. It is also increasingly being 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, atopic dermatitis, and mycoses. In conventional medicine, it is already being used for burns, and naturopaths also recommend it for scar healing after surgeries.
Ideal for this time of year is its extraordinary effect on colds, fever, coughs, sore throats, sinusitis, and the flu. It strengthens the immune system, promotes physical well-being, and even helps with insomnia.
Manuka is also used very successfully in cosmetics. Its strongly antibacterial active ingredients are a real miracle cure for pimples and acne. Manuka honey also has moisturizing and regenerating properties, which makes it practically predestined for skincare.
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 encountered this extraordinary honey.
He even does charitable work when it comes to shipping. The handling of orders via his website is carried out by the social institution for disabled integration “Pfennigparade,” which is thus financially supported. Furthermore, Stefan Jonas invests the profits from the sales into inventors and companies that manufacture and distribute plastic made from hemp. “This honey is a special gift from nature – and its distribution is intended to do good in the world and contribute to counteracting environmental pollution.”
MGO - Is all Manuka the same?
Through his “very personal” contact with the beekeepers and direct importing, Stefan Jonas guarantees the authenticity and the gentle, species-appropriate production of the honey. In addition, he opted for an MGO 300+ value, as it can be used for all the illnesses described above while still being offered at an attractive price.
The MGO content (MethylGlyOxal) stands for the amount of the active ingredient in milligrams per kilogram of honey. Other honeys generally contain between 2 and about 20mg MGO/kg at most. 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 verified in New Zealand by government laboratory institutes, and additionally tested and confirmed in Germany by the Technical University of Dresden’s Department of Food Chemistry, under Professor Henle.
