The Healing Power of Manuka Honey: Nature's Remedy for Wound Care
Manuka honey is known internationally for its association with skin and wound research. It's important to be clear about what that means for the honey you buy.
Food-grade vs medical-grade honey
The Manuka honey used in clinical wound care is sterile, medical-grade honey that is regulated as a medical product. Wonder Honey is a premium food — delicious and natural, but not a sterile medical dressing. For any wound, burn or infection, please see a doctor or nurse and follow their advice rather than self-treating with food-grade honey.
Why Manuka is of research interest
Manuka honey contains methylglyoxal (MGO), the compound we grade and certify, along with other natural compounds. Its properties have been studied in laboratory and clinical settings, which is part of why regulated medical-grade Manuka products exist.
How to enjoy our honey
As a food, Wonder Honey is best enjoyed in your kitchen — by the spoonful, in tea, or drizzled over food. We make no medical claims about it.
These statements have not been evaluated by regulators. This product is a food and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
