‘More About Manuka’ is my second blog post about honey.

The reason for a second post is because of the additional information I am gathering about the historical healing properties of honey.
The History of Honey for Healing is Fascinating and Extensive:
Ancient Egyptians packed honey into battle wounds 4,000 years ago.

Hippocrates prescribed honey for ulcers and infections 2,400 years ago.

WWI field doctors used honey when antibiotics ran out 110 years ago.

Recent Healing Documentation
In addition, I am in touch with my two favorite Manuka Honey Companies, Manukora Honey, and the New Zealand Honey Company for cutting edge healing news. It will be reported as available.

Alison’s Exotic Healthy Food Kitchen and Shopping Super good question! Our jar of a similar size is $160 while theirs is $140 (both on subscription).
As you might now already, our customers choose Manukora because of our:
– Higher potency
– Certifications such as non-GMO, glyphosate-free, antibiotic-free, and B corp
– Independent testing via the QR code on each jar
– Ethical beekeeping practice that we call “The Art of Ethical Beekeeping”

Many thanks for your support,
The Manukora team


“Thank you so much for your thoughtful comparison and for being such a fan of Manuka honey! We really appreciate the time you’ve taken to look at the pricing across brands — it shows how much you care about getting the best quality.

“While we can’t comment on the pricing of other brands, we can share a bit about ours. Pricing differences can come down to a few factors: sourcing, batch size, production costs, certification, and even how the honey is processed and packaged. While ratings give a good indication of potency, the overall cost of the honey can vary based on the region, quality testing, and the brand’s supply chain.

We hope this helps clarify the value of our honey, and we’d be happy to answer any other questions you have.”

Kind Regards,
