So in other words, to take this honey either orally or better yet apply it directly to a wound is the best thing that you can do. Forgetting about the other health benefits of Manuka honey for a minute, the fact that it cures Mrsa, is a home run to begin with. Mrsa has been becoming more and more common in the last few years with more and more cases happening in more rapid intervals.

The New Zealanders are so aware of the ability of their Manuka honey to cure Mrsa that they have sequestered the hives that have shown to produce honey with higher antibacterial properties. This is to increase the potency of the honey. So in other words the New Zealanders are really sitting on a pot of honey

A lot of time and money has been spent on researching the therapeutic properties of wild natural honey, especially in New Zealand.

Manuka honey is free from any synthetic pesticides and is thus pathogen free. Meaning it possesses greater anti-bacterial properties and is a pure, natural product. The findings show benefits in the treatment of: Fournier's Gangrene, Burn wounds, Tropical ulcers, Bed sores, Diabetic ulcers, Gastroenteritis, Stomach Ulcers and of course Mrsa.

The anti-bacterial activity of honey is based partly on the effects in that bacteria that causes infection are unable to survive in honey because they become dehydrated. In addition, it was noted that the presence of hydrogen peroxide generated by the enzymatic activity of glucose oxidase in dilute honey contributes to the anti-bacterial activity. As hydrogen peroxide decomposes, it generates highly reactive free radicals that react and kill bacteria.
