Healing Manuka Honey in Australia

If you have been looking for high-grade Manuka honey, you have come to the right place. Our family-run business has been producing high-quality Manuka honey products in Australia for almost two decades. Honey has long been prized for its health benefits and was used by ancient civilisations for healing and nutrition. It’s one of nature’s many gifts to us, but not all honey is created equal.

What Makes our Australian Manuka Honey Different?

Manuka honey has long been used for nutritional and healing purposes. It can be used to help heal wounds because of its unique antibacterial qualities. As well as wound care, many swear by it to treat other skin conditions such as ulcers, burns and eczema. Manuka honey is made by bees that collect nectar from a specific plant, the Leptospermum. This plant is relatively rare and is native to New Zealand and parts of Australia. Manuka honey is the only honey with antibacterial properties, so it is the only honey which can be used legitimately for medicinal purposes as well as integrating itself within various skincare regimes which you can find in our range of Manuka body lotions.

What’s the Secret of Australian Honey Products?

Manuka honey contains the active ingredient of Methylglyoxal (MGO), and it is the only honey to do so. In 1981, Dr Peter Molan discovered that Manuka honey contained this naturally occurring chemical while conducting research into the properties of honeys from around the world. He was later awarded an MBE for his research and Manuka honey became a highly sought-after superfood. Manuka honey products come in different strengths, known as the NPA or MGO ratings. A product containing a very low concentration of active ingredients would have a rating of NPA 5+ or MGO of 83, whereas super-active honey products would contain an MGO of 1000-1650 and an NPA rating of above 22+.

This is important because when you buy Manuka Australian honey products or from other countries, you should read the label to check which concentration you are buying. Our products are tested scientifically batch by batch and a certification is issued for every production round. As you can imagine, demand for high-quality Manuka is high, so there are many “fake” Manuka products on the market which still come at a high price but without offering any of the therapeutic benefits.

Why Buy Honey Products from Nature’s Gold in Australia?

Nature’s Gold produces small batch runs of Manuka honey products from Australia. This small-batch testing means we can trace the strengths and origins right through our production process from hive to consumer. In addition, although Manuka honey was first marketed in New Zealand, it only has one Leptospermum variety, whereas Australia has over 80 different strains. Some of these have been proven scientifically to be more active (and therefore contain stronger antibacterial properties) than the variety in New Zealand. But we are still friends! Our Australian honey products include raw active Manuka honey, Manuka face and hand creams, Manuka honey body lotions, Manuka honey soaps, Manuka moisturisers and supplements.
