3. Harvested only when honey is "Bee Ready": After collecting the nectar and pollen from the flowers, the bees deposit them into cells of the honeycomb. The constant flapping of their wings, together with heat in the hive evaporates the water from the nectar-pollen mix and converts it to honey. When the honey contains 20% or less in moisture and the bees declare the honey "ready" and will form a thin layer of wax over the cell to cover honey. It is at this time that our honey is harvested and not earlier. This is Nature's best recipie for the honey not to ferment but to be stored for long periods of time without any problem.
4. Tested for Total Activity over 30+: Every batch of our honey is tested a NZ government accredited laboratory for Total Activity (TA). (TA is a honey's efficacy against bacteria that cause sickness). According to researchers, TA higher than 15+ is effective to kill bacteria that causes sore throat and ulcers. We only select honey that has TA higher than 15+. Manuka XO honey is a rare potent with TA over 30+ and works powerfully against the toughest germs. (hence the name "XO" for extraordinary)
5. Pollen count over 70%: Every batch of our honey is also tested for % of manuka pollen count to determine if can be called manuka honey. Based on European standards, a manuka pollen count of 70% and above can be classified as manuka honey. On the average, our manuka honey has from 80% to 95% manuka pollen count.
6. No High Heat: The average temperature of the bee hive is between 35 to 37 Deg Celsius. Unlike many honey bottlers, Nature's Glory does NOT employ high heat to liquify honey for faster bottling as this can destroy the important nutrients and properties of the honey. High heat also unnaturally produces higher levels of chemicals like Methylglyoxal (MGO) within the honey.
7. No Ultra High Pressure Filteration: Manuka honey naturally contains pollen (high in minerals and vitamins), propolis (anti-viral effects), waxes and sugars like glucose, fructose and other oligosaccharides. Oligosaccharides have been found to promote the growth of friendly bacteria in our gut (this is a very important part of our immunity against bad bugs). Hence, to retain all the natural goodness our honey is only lightly filtered to remove larger debri from the hive, insects etc.
8. BPA Free Amber glass bottles: Nature's Glory invests in expensive amber glass bottles to protect the the honey from light and heat. Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical found in many plastics which has recently been linked to abnormalities of the brain, blood pressure, infertility, heart problems, etc. The safety of BPF and BPS plastic alternatives to BPA may not be safe either.
9. Our honey (exported from New Zealand) complies with standards set by: - Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) New Zealand
- New Zealand Food Safety Authority (NZFSA)
- Australia !#!amp!*! New Zealand Food Standards Code
- Codex Honey standard
- European Honey standard Council Directive 2001/110/EEC
- National Association for Sustainable Agriculture Australia (NASAA)
FAQ: Why not use UMF logo on our bottles?
Chemicals honey like DHA (Dihydroxyacetone), MGO (Methylglyoxal) and Leptosperin– the same ones tested
for in the UMF ratings can be potentially bought and added into manuka honey to enhance the anti-bacterial effects of the honey.
This has been shown in the laboratory.
The practice of adding these additives has occurred recently even in some Manuka sold in Singapore and worldwide.
(Straits Times Feb 26, 2016: AVA recalls honey Evergreen Life Ltd Manuka Honey products due to unapproved additives used).
Instead of paying very high fees of membership and royalties to get the UMF logo, we would rather confirm the total
effectiveness of the honey against bacteria through NZ independent government accredited labs so that the honey can be
made much more affordable to every one!
Our NASAA organic certifications prohibits the additions of any chemicals or additives into our honey.
Uses of Manuka in hospitals:
In a large Brisbane hospital, Manuka Honey was shown to be twice as effective against E-Coli and Staph Aureus (the 2 most common infesting agents in wounds), and against antibiotic resistant strains like MRSA and VRE compared to other honeys. Results recently published in the New Zealand Medical Journal also showed that Manuka honey successfully treated unresponsive skin ulcers and helped heal wounds where other honeys failed. A number of other researchers reported same results.
Our own experience with Grandma (May 2012)
Our grandma, then 90 years old was bedridden and had very bad bed sores due to immobility in bed. The medical doctors gave up hope that the sores would ever heal with current medication and sent her home to die in a few days (hospitals rejected her as well). She was very sick. Her sores and wounds were deep and black and gave a bad smell. We washed the wounds with low acidic water and after drying the wound, applied Nature's Glory Manuka Honey XO (TA 30+) over the sores. We also wrapped the wound with plastic food cling wrap. She could not eat and was not given any food or water by the doctors. So we applied our organic coconut oil over her whole body (except the wounds). This was her food source through the skin. She got better after seven days and the nurse told the doctors that she was recovering and that they should not play God but give her food to take through the nose tube. Within several weeks repeating same procedures together with other supplements, her wounds recovered fully, with the pink flesh and skin coming back covering the wounds. All glory to God.
How to use?
Internally:
Take 1 to 2 teaspoons once daily for to maintain good health. 2 teaspoons twice to three times daily for sore throat / ulcers. Mix manuka honey in mouth with saliva and swallow slowly, allowing the honey to act on the sore areas. If possible, do not take water for 15 minutes (after taking honey) to allow honey to continue acting on the affected parts without being washed away.
Externally:
Apply liberally to cover wounds/ sores after washing and drying the wounds/ sores. Cover with clean plastic food wrap to prevent smearing to clothes/ bedding. Depending on severity of wound, procedure may have to repeated daily or every 2 days.
Precautions:
Use clean and dry spoon only as moisture can damage the honey. Wooden or ceramic spoons preferred over metal spoons as active enzymes present in honey can react with the metals. Cap tightly after use. It is normal to see ants to enjoy your honey as much as you enjoy our honey.
