It’s produced by bees who pollinate the flower Leptospermum scoparium, commonly known as the Manuka bush.
 
Manuka honey’s antibacterial properties are what set it apart from traditional honey. Methylglyoxal is its active ingredient and likely responsible for these antibacterial effects.
 
Additionally, Manuka honey has antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.

Since ancient times, honey has been used to treat wounds, burns, sores and boils
In 2007, Manuka honey was approved by the US FDA as an option for wound treatment.
Honey offers antibacterial and antioxidant properties, all while maintaining a moist wound environment and protective barrier, which prevents microbial infections in the wound.
