Certified MGO 120+ equiv UMF 10+ 500g - Herb Valley Australian Manuka Honey.

DESCRIPTION

At Herb Valley, we look for the key naturally occurring chemical markers that are found in Manuka Honey (MGO and DHA) to determine its purity. Whilst we use MGO to measure its level of antibacterial activity. MGO is found only in Leptospermum honey and is a clear indicator of a Herb Valley Manuka Honeys antibacterial strength. The MGO you choose really should be dependent on your intended use and how strong you want the antibacterial activity to be (we have detailed some of the uses further up this page, but we list more applications further down). Herb Valley Manuka honey can also stop the growth of bacteria by drawing away moisture in a wound and dehydrating the bacteria. This is because it has a high sugar and low moisture content. Its also acidic, with a pH between 3.2 and 4.5 (the pH of your blood is around 7.35-7.45). Persistent wounds tend to have a highly alkaline environment that isnt ideal for healing, so adding some Manuka can help to create an environment that promotes healing.
