How to Use Active Manuka Honey 25% Cream:
The full benefit of ACTIVE MANUKA HONEY is achieved by:
1. The primary advantage is from the unique Antibacterial effect that is determined by tests formulated by the Waikato Honey Research unit at Waikato University NZ as stated by a plus (+) number. Ideal antibacterial activity is achieved if the Active Manuka Honey is 15+ and above. Ref: http://bio.waikato.ac.nz/honey/specials.html
2. The Peroxide effect (H2O2)–> this is released from the honey when aqueous (fluid) contact is made (serum production from damaged areas).
3. Honey is a super sugar solution so when applied to damaged skin it draws moisture/fluid from the area (using osmosis) so working as a gentle poultice.
Active Manuka Honey Anhydrous Cream 25% maintains the 3 benefits as outlined above. The AMH 25% Cream has the added advantage that it will adhere, maintaining its form, and cover damaged areas without running off. For skin areas with minor damage, repeated cover applications of Active Manuka Honey Cream will protect and soothe the skin. Application of a dressing or covering the area with a dressing may be required.
