(Manuka Honey) we need to understand the UMF.\nThe UMF factor stands for Unique Manuka Factor.\n\n![78-e1471876891944.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmdVf5sznj9awmAsjNED62zygkuT8dWZyJ14tGGSiAGmnE\/78-e1471876891944.jpg)\n\nThe UMF indicates the level of antibacterial activity.\nThe UMF can also vary from each Leptospermum Scoparium (**the bush that M.H. is made from**) to the other.\nWe need to understand that when the UMF is 10 or below,<br> it has barely any antibacterial activity present,<br>\nbut from 25 and up it has been shown to be more effective than today's harsh and unresearched antibiotics.\n\n* **Other Uses**\n\nM.H. is also great for treating Gastritis,<br> prevents and repairs the colon,<br> boosts immunity,<br> is great for combating a flu (such as I did the first time I used M.H. and was in shock by how well it worked),<br> is also anti-inflammatory and can be used to treat Tonsillitis,<br> improves dental health and can also be used as a facial mask etc.\nSo the higher the UMF the better the results.\n\n![tumblr_owcexmKeX71u8wonlo1_500.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmVCp8Y9SCd35ANQPb5BTS2NVnxEdozAExtbJVXL5c1zG9\/tumblr_owcexmKeX71u8wonlo1_500.jpg)\n* Artist: Laurie Winter,<br> New Zealand (Manuka Honey is made from a bush that is native to the island of New Zealand.)\n\nHopefully this post was informative and interesting and for more articles about herbal medicine follow me,<br> as there is much more to follow!",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"health\",<br>\"food\",<br>\"vegan\",<br>\"fitness\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmdSDTuGuWZctHZoEoLDgyw6KKhy6VxnLhVkUinxcCp1DL\/manuka-honey-1024x950.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmdVf5sznj9awmAsjNED62zygkuT8dWZyJ14tGGSiAGmnE\/78-e1471876891944.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmVCp8Y9SCd35ANQPb5BTS2NVnxEdozAExtbJVXL5c1zG9\/tumblr_owcexmKeX71u8wonlo1_500.jpg\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\" " |
