Antibacterial found in Yemeni Honey and also Manuka New Zealand. Here is the news:
CANADA: Canadian doctors have confirmed that manuka honey can be better than antibiotics when it comes to killing bacteria that cause sinus infections.
Researchers tested the effectiveness of three types of honey -.- manuka honey from New Zealand, sidr honey from Yemen, and Canada's clover and buckwheat honey - with the superbug Staphylococcus aureus, which is highly resistant to antibiotics.
Both New Zealand’s manuka honey and Yemen’s sidr honey effectively killed bacteria, but the clover and buckwheat honey had no effect at all.
Scientists are yet to discover exactly what component of honey kills bacteria.
The news follows a recent study in Ireland which confirmed the effectiveness of honey dressings for wounds.
The clinical trial found that Comvita’s Medihone dressings made with Manuka honey significantly improves the healing rates of stalled venous leg ulcers.
