Using Honey To Treat MRSA Infections :shock:

Post by tex »

Hi All,

According to New Zealand researchers, honey made from flowers of the New Zealand manuka bush, may be useful for treating so-called "flesh-eating" bacteria, MRSA, (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus).

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

Wonder if that particular kind of honey is available on most grocer shelves? I doubt it.

Manuka honey is available in some supermarkets here, but is common in health food stores, chemists etc. I bought some MediHoney to put on a wound that was slow healing. It seemed to help, but was very messy.

What I still wonder, is how different is the health impact of manuka honey vs using tea tree oil? Manuka is just a variety of tea tree after all.
