Manuka honey grading

Rod from Hive World Honey

If you are looking to purchase Genuine manuka honey, the different ways of rating it can be very confusing! UMF, MGO, NPA, or pollen count. Then there is Mono-floral and multi-floral manuka!

If you are looking to purchase Genuine manuka honey, the different ways of rating it can be very confusing! UMF, MGO, NPA, or pollen count. Then there is Mono-floral and multi-floral manuka!
These all show the antibacterial level of manuka honey.
The concentration of hydrogen peroxide is what gives manuka its effectiveness along with the fact that honey is hydroscopic (absorbs moisture).


Multi-floral manuka simply means that the bees will have collected other honey at the same time as the active manuka whereas mono- floral will be pure manuka.

Obviously the higher rating the more expensive your honey will be. If you require a good honey for a sore throat etc, a 5+ or 80 MGO is all you need. At the other end of the scale if you are treating a wound I would use a 20+ and apply it topically.

A report has shown that clinics around New Zealand are understaffed, with GP's being overworked and underpaid. And for everyday kiwis, healthcare and emergency healthcare is simply not accessible.

The General Practice Owners Association of Aotearoa's report titled ‘‘On The Brink’’ outlines the urgent need to address pay parity for GP nurses and doctors, beef up workforce numbers and improve funding allocations for practices with the hopes that this makes heatlhcare more accessible in the community.
