Natural wound care from New Zealand: Manuka Vet
Honey has been known as a natural remedy for humans and animals for centuries. Applied externally it supports the healing of injuries and wounds.
When the bee seals the nectar in her hive comb, a series of processes begin within the nectar leading to the formation of methylglyoxal (MGO). Methylglyoxal is known for its antibacterial properties and is therefore well suited for wound healing.
Commercially available honey only has a very low concentration of MGO. Due to the unique combination of a special nectar of South Sea myrtle and the climatic conditions in their homeland (New Zealand and Australia), the so-called "Manuka honey" has a hundredfold MGO.
In modern science, the concentration of MGO has only been studied in more detail for a few years. Since its effective effect on wound healing has been known, Manuka honey has been a popular supplement in naturopathy and medicine.
How does Manuka Vet Honey work?
The special Manuka honey protects the wound, supports the body's own wound cleansing and promotes the healing process. The viscous honey forms a film on the injured area, which can form a barrier against external influences and prevents the affected skin areas from drying out too quickly - the risk of permanent scarring can be reduced as a result.
Its high sugar and MGO content supports the formation of cleansing wound exudate, which can reduce the multiplication of germs.
