About cellulitis

Cellulitis, not to be confused with Cellulite (fat deposits below the skin) is a bacterial infection of the skin affecting the outer layer and deep subcutaneous tissue below the skin. Cellulitis is caused mainly by the presence of Staphylococcus or Streptococcus bacteria, most commonly affecting exposed areas of the body like the lower legs, feet, arms and face.

Cellulitis infection is very common among dense populations where hygiene facilities are shared including gymnasiums, rest homes, swimming pools and military installations. It's also common among elderly people, diabetics and people with lowered immune systems.

Anything which results in damage to the skin can trigger the onset of Cellulitis including chickenpox, shingles, insect or animal bites, surgery, eczema, burns or boils. The point of damage can be the entry point for bacteria to spread and multiply with the initial signs of a Cellulitis infection being redness, warmth, pain and tenderness of the infected area which may be accompanied by fever, headache and nausea.

Once the bacteria has become established below the skin it has a chance of entering the lymph nodes and bloodstream, spreading throughout the body, resulting in a very serious infection. If allowed to get to this stage Cellulitis can require oral or intravenous antibiotics/hospitalisation and a medical practitioner should be consulted immediately.

It is vital that ‘at risk' people take great care of their skin, and treat any area of skin damage with a topical antibiotic immediately to prevent escalation of the infection.

Treatment

The best natural topical antibiotics are Manuka UMF® honey and essential oil, applied directly then covered with gauze, or used as a cream.

Both Manuka UMF® honey and Manuka essential oils have been proven in scientific studies to completely eliminate even the most persistent MRSA bacteria (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), a major cause of Cellulitis  normally resistant to many synthetic antibiotics.

Recommendation for use:

Apply any of the products listed above immediately to the skin, repeat after 2 hours then twice daily until the area is fully healed. Use the Manuka soap when washing the affected areas. Because Cellulitis infections can in extreme cases be life threatening, it is vital to treat any damaged skin without delay to prevent further infection. If redness, swelling or nausea continues, consult a medical practitioner immediately.

Quantity to order:

People who are susceptible to Cellulitis infection should have a selection of Manuka products available for immediate use, the time delay between ordering products and applying them to the skin could result in serious development of an infection.

Health benefits from natural remedies

Manuka oil is a natural compound found in nature that is not chemically altered in any way and has had no adverse side effects reported as a result of use.

Manuka UMF® Honey is not chemically altered in any way, is highly anti-bacterial, and is known to penetrate deeply into the epidermis assisting in the control of bacterial infection.

It is important to remember that everything you apply to your skin is absorbed into your body, so using natural products eliminates the use of products that could have harmful side-effects.
