UMF 15+

I wanted to take a moment and write about this amazing honey. I am an engineering student so I usually don't have time to write reviews for the things I buy but I couldn't wait to write a review about this product. I am originally from a humid country. I have lived all over the world before and all those countries had a humid climate. One year ago, I moved to Texas and my skin, especially my face started having a crisis. I have a combination skin (oily T zone/ the rest is normal) and I started getting a lot of pimples on my face and I started developing new allergies in this dry and dusty state. I went to a dermatologist and he said my skin is not immune to this climate and that's why it is happening. He prescribed me antibiotics, 7.0% benzoyl peroxide acne wash and adapalene 3.0% topical retinoid gel. I used only the gel and it made my face worse which was normal because of purging phase of it but I knew that I didn't want to use it forever and wanted to find a natural alternative. I also had an auto immune disease 10 years ago called Vasculitis and survived from it so this is the summary of my background.Since I have a lot of free time in summer, I started looking for the beneficial natural things for acne prone skins in dry climates and I found manuka honey. Some people eat it for their health issues and some people apply it on scars, cuts and other problematic skin areas. I made a little research because there are many which claim that they are medical manuka honey. This is UMF certified honey and if you want to confirm it, you can google it and find the list of UMF certified honey brands and their license numbers in NZ. I wrote to Comvita's official website's customer service and asked if I could purchase their products through Amazon because I was living in the US and if I ever experienced something unexpected, I would return it easily. They said they are selling their honey through Amazon in the US so I can definitely do that. If I was not a student, I would definitely buy the 20+ one because my biggest concern, for now, is not internal but external. It does come like 6 oz. in an 8 oz. jar but after seeing what it has been doing to my face, it is not even a concern. 15+ tastes great! I usually buy raw organic unrefined honey from a natural grocery store and they definitely don't taste the same. This is denser and you can definitely taste the quality. If you have a serious stomach or any other internal problem, eat one TBspoon a day. If you want to stay healthy, eat one Teaspoon a day because it is strong and yummy! I started applying this on my face as a mask after cleansing and toning my face after the shower. I used it 3 days and kept it 30 mins each night. I didn't see much difference but when I started leaving it over night, I had amazing results. After I started using this honey as an overnight mask, I quit using the adapalene/differin retinoid. It is definitely not easy and comfortable to sleep with it but it is WORTH IT! I had a huge cystic pimple growing around my chin area again and I felt so down that day. Then I read some stories about the people who were applying honey as an overnight mask when they have problems. This is my second day and there is nothing growing on my face and all of my blemishes seems to be fading! I can't believe how painful that pimple was only 2 days ago and now I can barely find its spot on my face.Buy this if you have similar problems to these or buy this and eat it to stay healthy and away from the medicine as much as you can. You pay for the quality and you'll have this body only once!

Excellent taste and quality. As a pharmacist, I am wellaware of the potential benefits of manuka honey, especially the potential immune and gastrointestinal benefits that are common with daily use.It is important to know that this is not a magical solution and it works best as a daily maintenance product to keep the immune system strong. It also does have potential benefits against helicobacter pylori, the bacteria responsible for causing stomach ulcers. The effective dose for this use varies and if you do have H. pylori, you should still take the prescribed medications (antibiotics and proton pump inhibitor) that your physician or health provider prescribes. Taking this in the morning, two hours before taking medications or staring to take this after you are finished with your prescribed medications can help ensure the bacteria is effectively eliminated.This product is pricey however it is authentic and effective. It is worth the investment in your health.The only watch out is if you are allergic to any component you should not consume raw honey. If you have a immune system (Lupus, immuno-comprimised state, etc.) disease, have severe allergies that require you to carry an epi pen or are take allergy shots: you should not take this or any raw honey product without speaking to your healthcare provider first.

First of all, lightning fast shipping. Ordered Friday afternoon, was on my doorstep Sunday afternoon.So, I ordered this stuff for my husband as he has recurring staph. He has tried everything and this was going to be my last ditch effort to clear him up, seeing as the doctors around here a not able to figure it out. He used this on one of his sores last night, covered it with a bandaid, and said it felt much better today. Here's hoping this will be what finally helps his issue.As for me, I have researched the life out of this wonder honey. I put off buying it simply because of the price tag. It seemed steep to pay this much for an 8 oz jar of honey. That being said, when the frustration level with my husband got to where it was, I sucked it up and ordered. I ordered this brand simply because I read over and over that this is the best brand, most authentic...The UMF rating and so on. Anyway, I slipped on a wet rock a week or so ago while hiking and cut my elbow open. I cleaned it with peroxide once home and that was that, except it has continued to hurt, especially when it gets bumped. I thought it was because of the location on my elbow. Last night I put the Manuka Honey on my cut, covered it up with a bandaid, and unbelievable as it is, it does not hurt at all today! It looks better and feels 100% better. Coincidence? I think not. I think I have found my new best friend. I'm anxious to try this for other issues to see how it works. I'm excited at the prospect of it helping my husbands staph once and for all.

Pretty good Manuka honey. Fast shipping. Tastes great

Good quality as usual
