Health Product Honey | Active Manuka Honey 16+ by Australian by Nature

Contains: 100% pure active Manuka Honey. Active Manuka has a higher antibacterial activity not found in other honeys.
The Leptospermum genus has about 86 species of plants mainly confined to Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia and New Caledonia. This honey has a strong individual eucalypt flavour with woody herb characteristic.

Honey has been known for centuries for its healing properties. In recent years, the popularity of Manuka honey has grown rapidly around the world, especially in Asian countries.


What is Manuka honey and what are the major differences between Manuka honey and floral honey?


Manuka honey is a natural bioactive honey. It is a very potent anti-bacterial and anti-viral agent. Manuka honey is the only honey available that is tested for its anti-bacterial activity. The tested strength of Manuka honey can be determined by the activity factor, which is represented by a number. The higher the number, the stronger the anti-microbial ingredient and more powerful the anti-bacterial effect on the body. A rating of 10 or more is considered to be suitable for therapeutic medical use. Scientific studies have shown that the difference in anti-bacterial activity found between Manuka honey and floral honey is more than 100-fold.

Due to its powerful antiseptic properties, Manuka honey is used to treat a wide range of external and internal conditions. It is extremely effective for the treatment of wounds, cuts and burns. Manuka honey is also commonly used for mouth ulcers, tonsillitis, irritable bowel syndrome and constipation. Active Manuka honey destroys the helicobacter pylori bacteria typically associated with stomach ulcers. For everyday use, it can improve our bodies’ immune system and help to combat colds and flu. The ability of this bioactive honey to fight infection and boost the immune system has set it apart from all other honeys as a healing product.


Manuka honey is now widely used in hospitals in Australia, the UK and USA to treat ulcers, post-surgery wound care and burns. Manuka honey has natural antibiotic properties, but without the side effects. People who constantly take prescribed medications often find that the medications have decreased effects over time due to the invading bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics. In situations like this, Manuka honey can be used as a natural substitute to antibiotics, as it will kill off harmful bacteria without accumulating a resistance against it.


Manuka honey can be very difficult to collect due to the remote location of the forests. It is also very difficult to get 100 % pure Manuka. Other floral sources flower at the same time and can contaminate the honey. It is therefore very important that the honey is sourced from forest areas that have Manuka as the dominant species. Some Manuka producers use a pollen count to verify the purity of the honey. This can be inconclusive as some floral sources have very little pollen while others are prolific pollen producers. The bees can also move the pollen around the hive and affect the sample taken. The best way to assure the Manuka is of a high standard is to identify the forests from which it is sourced.

Australian by Nature’s Manuka Honey is sourced from high-density Manuka forests, Leptospermum scoparium, in New Zealand. It is a premium quality honey. The bush is grown 100 % organic and uncultivated in a pollution free environment. Our honey is 100% pure with no added sugars or preservatives. It provides a pleasant and distinctive eucalypt taste. To ensure our customers get the highest quality Manuka honey, each batch is individually tested to give a total activity count.
