Manuka: The Plant, Its Honey and Its Distillate

Manuka has many benefits, ranging from cosmetic and therapeutic uses to benefits for hormonal balance and for pregnant women, along with many others.

Many people prefer natural products to synthetic ones, especially when it comes to skin and skincare. That is why natural products such as honey are widely used as alternatives to ointments, treatment formulas and even cosmetics, because of the possible side effects of the chemicals these contain.

Manuka honey is considered the most beneficial type of honey in particular, and of natural products in general, in this respect. Its benefit far exceeds that of any other honey, because of the antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory substances it contains, such as hydrogen peroxide and methylglyoxal. Manuka honey can be applied to the skin for treatment, prevention or regular skincare.

Manuka Distillate

Manuka distillate has a great ability to protect the hair and prevent hair loss and dryness. Its benefits include:

1. Increasing hair growth.
2. Moisturising dry hair.
3. Killing bacteria.
4. Fighting dandruff.
5. Adding volume to the hair.
6. Restoring the hair's natural growth rate.
7. Giving every strand a touch of shine and health.

Using manuka honey on your hair is very easy. You can:

1. Mix a little with your usual shampoo.
2. Mix manuka honey with manuka distillate and olive oil, and apply the mixture to dry hair for thirty minutes.
3. Then wash your hair with your usual shampoo, or one mixed with manuka distillate, and enjoy silky-soft hair.

Manuka and Oestrogen

Manuka has a clear effect on the activity of the hormone oestrogen, which points to remarkable and direct benefits of manuka products for hormonal balance in the body.

But how do we use manuka for this? We will soon publish many manuka recipes, but for now it is enough to add it to your breakfast.

As mentioned earlier, one of manuka's benefits is fighting bacteria. But its benefits do not stop there: it is also wonderful for maintaining the body's immune system, and a strong immune system is the key to hormonal balance.

Is Manuka Suitable During Pregnancy?

The definite answer is yes. It is not only suitable but extremely important, and manuka is completely safe for expectant mothers. Manuka honey and its distillate are an excellent alternative to all other forms of medicine used during pregnancy. Because they are completely natural, they have no negative side effects, which makes them very beneficial for pregnant women.
