The best taste, consistency, and quality I’ve found outside of Australia, NZ

My 17 month old son unfortunately pulled a hot cup of tea from the counter onto his arm and received some pretty nasty 2nd degree burns (the skin instantly peeled after the incident). After a trip to our children’s hospital, I did lots of research on how to best avoid scarring and how to take care of burn wounds. Multiple articles had mentioned Manuka honey. After doing some of my own research I came across this product. I was looking for a high UMF and medical grade.This stuff worked amazing for us. We were first a little hesitant on if it would make the gauze stick to his arm more, but the way the doctor had wrapped it (and gave us supplies to re wrap it the same way every day) it ended up not being a problem at all.The doctor had applied xeroform to his arm first and then applied an antibiotic. Then his arm was wrapped in gauze and they gave us these stretchy net compression sleeves cut the perfect length for his arm to go over all of it.Each day we redressed the burn, and instead of antibiotic I used this honey. I’d scoop a spoonful into a ziplock and cut the corner to more easily apply directly to the xeroform that stuck to his wounds. They had said to leave the xeroform that stuck to his skin as it would act as a scab for it and fall off on its own. Then we would spread a fine layer of honey on square gauze pads to apply to the rest of his arm and wrap the whole thing in gauze and then put the compression sleeve on to hold everything. It was the perfect system. Each day the gauze would come off so easily and wouldn’t peel the healing scab off. The honey would bleed through the layers in some spots, but nothing bad. We did this for 10 days and saw the doctor again and they said there shouldn’t be any scarring and that it looked great! They took off all the bandages and let the skin breathe. He still had scabs on his arm but they said to let them fall off as they dry out (which happened within 24 hours). They said from that point to just keep the skin hydrated with some lotion. We use aquaphor for that.As for the taste, I’ve heard amazing benefits for this honey internally so I’d always lick the spoon after I would use it to scoop into the ziplock. It tastes like very normal honey to me! It is a bit thicker than normal. But I think that’s a good thing. I hope this helps anyone curious about using honey for a second degree burn!Side note, even though getting a burn redressed those first few days is still very painful, I think my son knew the honey helped take the heat away because he’d always readily walk over to the spot we would change it every night. He’d still fuss a little bit, but was always very willing to hold his arm out. I hope this is also encouraging to anyone hoping to find some relief from that post burn heat!

The price is lower than New Zealand manuka and not quite as rigorously tested, but it did the same for my heartburn and it's yummier IMO. Good stuff.

Great taste and consistency. It is a slightly thinner consistency than some other brands, but it still is a great Manuka honey. I would definitely recommend and purchase again.

This was a bit more than I expected to pay. It tastes great and I used it on so many things. Not sure I would purchase it again because of the price.

The certified quality & high amount of MGO’sis most important in this honey! Making its medicinal properties outstanding. It’s like no other honey & sold at a very reasonable price!

Very healthy , contains ALL its nutrients , but,,,,,, it IS expensive

I did not like this Manuka, honey. I guess I will just stick to the New Zealand Manuka, honey because this honey that I received is very grainy and not as good tasting. I would return it, but they don’t give that option. I do not recommend buying from this company.
