Let us introduce to you Australia’s Manuka Honey
Manuka honey comes from the nectar gathered by the bees of the manuka flower.
Naturally the Original Home of Manuka - Australia
Firstly – a bit about the manuka species (Leptospermum species) …  while there is only one species in New Zealand, there are over 80 confirmed as native to Australia – 28 been scientifically proven “bioactive”.  It is thought that New Zealand’s only species originally travelled there from southern Australia, after the separation of the ancient continent Gondwana.
What sets manuka honey apart from traditional honey 
Manuka honey's antibacterial properties are what set it apart from traditional honey. ... Additionally, manuka honey has antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. In fact, it has traditionally been used for wound healing, soothing sore throats, mouth ulcers and improving digestive issues.
These 3 key factors are found only in Manuka Honey
Leptosperin – naturally occurring chemical found only in manuka nectar (& a few very close relatives) 
DHA – Dihydroxyacetone – is another naturally occurring chemical in the nectar of the manuka flower.  DHA then converts to the powerhouse MGO once our busy bees turn the nectar into honey.
MGO – methylgloxal – is nature’s agent responsible for manuka honey’s unique antibacterial properties and is the key indicator of activity strength in Manuka honey. 
The higher the MGO number, the more potent the antibacterial properties.
Our honeys are tested at three independent laboratories to contain the key beneficial compounds essential to bioactive manuka honey:  Methygloxal (MGO), Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and Leptosperin.
Following extensive studies in both New Zealand & Australia, Australia’s Manuka Honey has been proven to contain the essential MGO property, able to inhibit growth of many bacteria & fungi.
