Rewards For Life

Honey’s anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, combined with its soothing abilities, make it a surprisingly effective treatment for several eye conditions. Sali Hughes from the Guardian says "I’m consistently impressed with this brand. They make good-quality products at fair prices, and are fussy about their ingredients. This is effective and good value". Known for its anti-aging properties, Persian silk flower helps to hydrate and freshen delicate skin. Honey, in general, is known to have antibacterial and antibiotic qualities. This is due to the naturally occurring hydrogen peroxide. Unfortunately, these properties are fairly short lived when used internally or externally as the body’s natural defenses convert the hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen by an enzyme called catalase. However, Manuka honey has additional non-peroxide activity (NPA) which comes from an organic compound called methylglyoxal (MGO) and two others, dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) .
