I've heard that Manuka Honey has antibacterial properties, but what exactly does it have?
Every fresh honey has an antibacterial effect due to the naturally occurring hydrogen peroxide. However, hydrogen peroxide is not stable. Heat, light and body enzymes destroy hydrogen peroxide in seconds. Therefore, normal honey cannot be a reliable natural remedy for infections. Manuka honey has a stable antibacterial effect caused by a naturally high content of methylglyoxal (MGO). MGO is not destroyed by high temperatures and body enzymes.
