What is special about this honey? Is there any science behind the extravagant health claims?
- BizarroLand 2y agoI think Manuka Honey's claims to do anything that normal honey wouldn't do is bunk, but it seems to be relatively skin safe and tolerated so it's not harmful. However, it seems to have a lower PH than regular honey and exhibits antibiotic properties (which most honey does as honey doesn't typically go bad), so maybe there are some topical applications that make sense for it. https://health.clevelandclinic.org/manuka-honey-benefits https://health.clevelandclinic.org/manuka-honey-benefits
