Scientists and Medical Professionals have found that Manuka Honey is especially effective for dressing wounds. Other research has found it can even fight gum disease, ease digestive problems and soothe sore throats. All types of honey contains hydrogen peroxide, a substance once used as a wound disinfectant in hospitals. It comes from an enzyme that bees add to nectar. It also contains the enzyme 'glucose oxidase', which boosts its antibacterial properties. This was recognized by the ancient Egyptians and Greeks who used honey to help heal burns and sores.

Manuka Honey, which is made by bees that collect pollen from a plant indigenous to New Zealand called the manuka bush (Leptospermum scoparium) has other ingredients which appear to have added health benefits. Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International which is a manufacturer of health care products containing Manuka Honey, refers to these additional health benefits as the "Unique Manuka Factor" of UMF. For example, Manuka Honey with a UMF10 rating is thought to be equivalent to a 10% solution of a standard antiseptic.
