&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About cellulitis&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cellulitis infection is very common among dense populations where hygiene facilities are shared including gymnasiums, rest homes, swimming pools and military installations. It&#039;s also common among elderly people, diabetics and people with lowered immune systems. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is vital that ‘at risk&#039; 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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Treatment&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The best natural topical antibiotics are Manuka UMF® honey and essential oil, applied directly then covered with gauze, or used as a cream.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Recommendation for use:&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Quantity to order:&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Health benefits from natural remedies&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Unconditional money back guarantee&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Try our products for 30 days, if you&#039;re not completely satisfied, return the product to us within 60 days for a complete refund less shipping fees. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ship any unused portion of the products with their original containers via prepaid Airmail to: Manuka Skincare Ltd., PO Box 29-396, Christchurch, New Zealand&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Diarrhea</title>
 <link>http://www.manuhealth.com/library/treatments/diarrhea</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Diarrhea treated quickly and safely with simple home remedy&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;New Zealand Manuka UMF® 15+ honey can provide a cure for bacterial Diarrhea in just a few hours.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Diarrhea can be caused by viral infections, food intolerances, parasites, reaction to medicines, intestinal diseases and functional bowel disorders, but by far the most common cause is bacterial infection and that is what we will focus on here.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Several types of bacteria, consumed through contaminated food or water, can cause diarrhea. Common culprits include Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shigella, and Escherichia coli.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Diarrhea can cause serious dehydration, which means the bodylacks enough fluid to function properly. Dehydration is particularly dangerous in children and the elderly, and it must be treated promptly to avoid serious health problems.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
People who visit foreign countries are at risk for traveler&#039;s diarrhea, which is most commonly caused by eating food or drinking water contaminated with bacteria.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Traveler&#039;s diarrhea is a particular problem for people visiting developing countries, particularly in tropical climates such as S.E. Asia.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Preventing Traveler&#039;s Diarrhea &lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
You can take the following precautions to prevent traveler&#039;s diarrhea when you go abroad:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Do not drink any tap water, not even when brushing your teeth.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Do not drink unpasteurized milk or dairy products.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Do not use ice made from tap water.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Avoid all raw fruits and vegetables (including lettuce and fruit salad) unless they can be peeled and you peel them yourself.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Do not eat raw or rare meat and fish.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Do not eat meat or shellfish that is not hot when served to you.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Do not eat food from street vendors.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
You can safely drink bottled water (if you are the one to break the seal), carbonated soft drinks, and hot drinks like coffee or tea where the water has been boiled for several minutes.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Depending on where you are going and how long you are staying, your doctor may recommend that you take antibiotics before leaving to protect you from possible infection.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
A simple natural solution and one that works remarkably quickly for all forms of bacterial diarrhea is Manuka UMF® honey.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
At the first signs of stomach cramps that could lead to diarrhea, take a table spoon of Manuka UMF® honey, and repeat twice more over the next 4-6 hours, and you will be amazed to find that you will have stopped the infection from taking hold and spoiling your holiday.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka UMF® honey has been proven in extensive scientific testing at the University of Waikato in New Zealand to control every strain of bacteria that commonly causes diarrhea, including the notorious MRSA bacteria.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
So when you plan your next overseas trip, be sure to pack some Manuka UMF® honey to take with you.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
It is a wonderful all round medicine in a pot, even if you are lucky enough not to suffer a bout of diarrhea, the honey will also be useful if you get a strep throat, mouth ulcer, or even a scratch or insect bite.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka essential oil products, described on other pages, will provide a better natural solution to keep mosquitoes and other biting insects at bay, but Manuka UMF® honey will overcome any internal and external bacterial infections.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
These natural Manuka tea tree honey products offer an effective alternative to prescription drugs, and in many cases, may provide superior results;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manuka UMF® 15+ honey &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Active Manuka Honey&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
It should be noted that Active Manuka honey is collected from the same sources as the UMF® honey, but it is not certified as having the Unique Manuka Factor in the same quantity.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
It will however still be anti-bacterial to a greater extent than honey from other floral sources, and since the UMF® honey is highly sought after it carries a price premium, the Active Manuka honey may be an option for many people.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka UMF® Honey is not chemically altered in any way, it is highly anti-bacterial in its natural form, and is known to penetrate deeply into the stomach tissue, greatly assisting the control of bacterial infection.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;If you haven&#039;t already experienced the benefits of using natural products, now is a good time to start. &lt;b&gt;Manuka tea tree honey products are an effective, natural and safe&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;way to treat bacterial &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Diarrhea&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Further information is available here:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Caution&lt;/b&gt;:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
While allergic reaction to honey is rare, it has been attributed in some cases to certain types of pollen present in the honey. Consumers using Manuka honey for the treatment of stomach ulcers are advised to test by taking a small amount before taking larger quantities.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We recommend that people consult with their medical practitioner if the symptoms of the condition persist.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Candida and Vaginosis</title>
 <link>http://www.manuhealth.com/library/treatments/candida-and-vaginosis</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
Candida Albicans (cutaneous candidiasis) is the most frequent infection of the vaginal region, commonly referred to as yeast, it is actually a single cell fungus.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
In Vitro testing by the Cawthron Institute in New Zealand found that East Cape Chemotype Manuka oil provided a complete control of Candida Albicans fungus at concentrations as low as 0.6%. In Vivo treatment usually requires higher concentrations of active ingredient, and at 4.0% concentration East Cape Manuka cream provides effective and complete control of Candida Albicans.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The following Manuka products offer a natural alternative to prescription drugs, and in many cases, may provide superior results;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.manuhealth.com/products/100-east-cape-manuka-oil&quot;&gt;100% East Cape Manuka oil&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.manuhealth.com/products/east-cape-manuka-cream-50gm&quot;&gt;East Cape Manuka Cream&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.manuhealth.com/products/manuka-soap-75gm&quot;&gt;East Cape Manuka soap&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
We also provide a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.manuhealth.com/products/candida-treatment-pack&quot;&gt;specialised Candida treatment pack&lt;/a&gt; containing;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.manuhealth.com/products/100-east-cape-manuka-oil&quot;&gt;1 x 100% East Cape Manuka oil&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.manuhealth.com/products/east-cape-manuka-cream-50gm&quot;&gt;1 x East Cape Manuka Cream&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.manuhealth.com/products/manuka-soap-75gm&quot;&gt;2 x East Cape Manuka soap&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This specialist pack provides everything you need to treat Candida in one pack, at a cheaper price than buying the items individually.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About Candida&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
A Candida overgrowth situation can be precipitated by a wide range of influences such as taking antibiotics, pregnancy, oral contraceptives, metabolic disorders including diabetes, and by people who suffer from immune deficiency such as HIV. The symptoms are itchiness sometimes accompanied by purple patches that may look like eczema. There can be scaling and small blisters, and where bacterial vaginosis is also present, a creamy discharge and characteristic fishy odor.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
There are a number of steps that people can take to manage Candida infections and it can usually be treated at home. East Cape Manuka oil, cream and soap provide an ideal treatment for this condition, as they are totally natural, and highly effective as an anti-fungal and anti-bacterial agent.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
It is interesting to note that the &lt;b&gt;Cawthron study&lt;/b&gt; also compared Australian tea tree oil (which is a popular natural remedy for Candida infection) and concluded that East Cape Manuka oil provided complete control at half the concentration level of Australian tea tree oil. Due to very low levels of the compound 1,8-Cineol in Manuka oil it is also much less likely to cause irritation to mucous membranes, as has been reported occasionally following application of products containing Australian Tea Tree oil.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Other vaginal infections like Trichomonal Vaginitis (TV) have also been successfully treated with products containing East Cape Manuka oil. These bacterial infections are often treated with oral nitroimidazoles, but these drugs may cause toxic side effects, and recurrence in the long term can be very high. Topical treatment with East Cape Manuka oil, cream and soap may be more effective because the abnormal bacterial flora is replaced by normal lactobacillus.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;How to use the Candida Treatment Pack&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Thoroughly wash with Manuka soap and rinse with 250ml approx, warm water containing 5-10 drops of 100% East Cape Manuka oil.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Dry the area thoroughly and apply East Cape Manuka cream to affected areas night and morning.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Additional relief may be found by coating a tampon with East Cape Manuka cream and inserting it overnight
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Continue daily treatment for 2-3 weeks, and then every second day for a further two weeks.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Early treatment of Candida infection is important, as if left untreated it can become much more serious.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Important health benefits from using natural remedies&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka oil is a natural compound found in nature that is not chemically altered in any way.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
No adverse side effects have ever been reported from the use of Manuka honey or oil products.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
It is important to remember that everything that you apply to your skin is absorbed into your body, so by using natural products you can enjoy a healthier and happier life by eliminating the use of products that could have harmful side effects.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;

 <title>Stomach Ulcers</title>
 <link>http://www.manuhealth.com/library/treatments/stomach-ulcers</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Peptic stomach ulcers successfully treated with special honey&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manuka UMF® honey has been shown in clinical trials to completely control Helicobacter Pylori bacteria, identified in research studies at Universtity of Waikato in New Zealand as the underlying cause of peptic stomach ulcers.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
For many years honey has been a traditional remedy for dyspepsia and peptic ulcers but it lacked any scientific basis for this practice.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
More recently however, research undertaken at the Universtity of Waikato in New Zealand has studied the effects of selected honeys on the underlying cause of the ulcers which has been identified as being due to the presence of H. Pylori bacteria.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The University study researched the effectiveness of various forms of honey including the special Manuka honey with additional ‘Unique Manuka Factor&#039; on a range of bacteria present in infected wounds.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
In addition to describing the effectiveness of this honey on a broad spectrum of other bacteria, the study also determined that Manuka UMF® honey totally inhibited the growth of H. Pylori.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Many forms of honey have anti-bacterial qualities due to the presence of the enzyme glucose oxidase but Manuka UMF® honey has been found to possess additional antibacterial properties that allow this special honey to be diluted up to 100 fold and still be effective in controlling bacteria.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
What is significant about this is that any loss of effectiveness due to dilution by fluids present in the stomach will not be as significant with Manuka UMF® honey as they would be with other honey.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Traditional forms of treatment for stomach ulcers often involve the use of several drugs taken at the same time, and can mean taking large numbers of pills every day.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The H. Pylori bacteria are notoriously difficult to control with prescription drugs and side effects of diarrhea, nausea and headache are quite common.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Clinical studies still need to be done to establish that the effectiveness of Manuka UMF® honey in controlling H. Pylori in the lab will follow through with success in patients, but the indications are that it will provide a viable alternative to taking an assortment of prescription drugs.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
These natural Manuka products offer an alternative to prescription drugs, and in many cases, may provide superior results;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manuka UMF® 20+ honey &lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manuka UMF® 15+ honey&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Active Manuka Honey&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
It should be noted that Active Manuka honey is collected from the same sources as the UMF® honey, but it is not certified as having the Unique Manuka Factor in the same quantity.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
It will however still be anti-bacterial to a greater extent than honey from other floral sources, and since the UMF® honey is highly sought after it carries a price premium, the Active Manuka honey may be an option for many people.

 <title>Sore Throats</title>
 <link>http://www.manuhealth.com/library/treatments/sore-throats</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Sore throats, tonsillitis and mouth ulcers treated with Manuka UMF® honey&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manuka UMF® honey is a natural and proven home remedy for all Streptococcus infections, the most common bacteria leading to sore throats, tonsillitis and mouth ulcers.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Streptococcus infections can be serious by causing other pus-forming infections that if left untreated, can lead to toxic shock.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manuka UMF® honey is a proven natural remedy&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Frequently a trip to the doctor can be avoided if the patient takes Manuka UMF® honey at the first signs of soreness.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
By taking a teaspoon of Manuka UMF® honey 3 times a day and keeping it in the mouth for as long as possible before swallowing, most mouth and throat infections can be prevented from developing to the point where a trip to the doctor is necessary.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Research undertaken by Dr. Peter Molan MBE, Associate Professor in Biochemistry at The University of Waikato, New Zealand, has shown that Manuka UMF® honey is very effective against a wide range of bacteria, and that Manuka UMF® honey can be diluted 100 fold and still be effective in controlling bacteria.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
This last factor is very important when using honey as an anti-bacterial agent in the mouth as it is bound to become diluted in the presence of saliva.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The following Manuka products offer a natural alternative to prescription drugs, and in many cases, may provide superior results;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manuka UMF® 15+ honey&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Active Manuka Honey&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manuka honey Lozenges&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
It should be noted that Active Manuka honey is collected from the same sources as the UMF® honey, but it is not certified as having the Unique Manuka Factor in the same quantity.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
It will still be anti-bacterial to a greater extent than honey from other floral sources, and since the UMF® honey carries a price premium, the lower priced Active Manuka honey may be an option for some people.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka UMF® Honey is not chemically altered in any way, it is highly anti-bacterial in its natural form, and is known to penetrate deeply into the epidermis, greatly assisting the control of bacterial infection.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka UMF® honey has a very long shelf life of at least 5 years, so it is a product that you can have on hand prior to the infection so that it can be taken at the first signs of soreness.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
If you have it in your pantry, you can use it immediately, rather than having to go out to find a supply, or to order on-line which may take several days to arrive.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;If you haven&#039;t already experienced the benefits of using natural skin care products, now is a good time to start. &lt;b&gt;Manuka Honey products are the effective, natural and safe&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;way to treat &lt;b&gt;Streptococcus&lt;/b&gt; throat infections.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Further information is available here:

&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The Manuka UMF® honey listed below is highly recommended for the treatment of throat infections
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Caution:&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
While allergic reaction to honey is rare, it has been attributed in some cases to certain types of pollen present in the honey. Consumers using Manuka honey for the treatment of wounds are advised to test on a small area of a wound prior to applying larger quantities.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
We recommend that people consult with their medical practitioner if the symptoms of the condition persist.

 <title>Bacterial Wound Infections</title>
 <link>http://www.manuhealth.com/library/treatments/bacterial-wound-infections</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Leg ulcers, burns, boils, abscesses and infected wounds successfully treated with Manuka UMF® honey&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;An overwhelming body of medical evidence now supports the use of Manuka UMF® honey in the treatment of serious bacterial infections which have failed to respond to conventional treatment.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Even notoriously difficult to control MRSA infections have been successfully treated with Unique Manuka Factor honey.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Rather than attempt to select examples from the very large number described in papers presented by Dr. Peter Molan, Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Director of the Honey Research Unit, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Waikato, New Zealand, we provide the following links:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://bio.waikato.ac.nz/honey/contents.shtml&quot;&gt;http://bio.waikato.ac.nz/honey/contents.shtml&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://bio.waikato.ac.nz/honey/contents.shtml&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.worldwidewounds.com/2001/november/Molan/honey-as-topical-agent.html&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.worldwidewounds.com/2001/november/Molan/honey-as-topical-agent.html&quot;&gt;http://www.worldwidewounds.com/2001/november/Molan/honey-as-topical-agent.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.worldwidewounds.com/2001/november/Molan/honey-as-topical-agent.html&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
We have the utmost respect for the research undertaken by Dr. Molan and others, and strongly recommend that people study these reports in detail.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
What you will read regarding Manuka UMF® honey in treating severe and long standing infections will astound readers unfamiliar with the healing properties of this natural product.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;It is safe to say that if such a material were the invention of a drug or pharmaceutical company today, it would be hailed as a wonder drug.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Many in our position of promoting a product for commercial purposes would be tempted to shower a product like Manuka UMF® honey with superlatives regarding its effectiveness, and risk consumer confidence in our objectiveness.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Instead, we direct you to the scientific studies and clinical trials and let you form your own opinion.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Dr. Molan&#039;s research has already provided major successes in healing serious infections that have not responded to conventional forms of antibiotic for people who are aware of the effectiveness of Manuka UMF® honey.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka UMF® honey not only kills the bacteria present in the infection, (and so far no bacteria tested have shown any resistance to Manuka UMF® Honey), but it also speeds up the healing process.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
According to Dr. Molan, &amp;quot;Pharmaceutical products stop inflammation but they also slow down the healing process.&amp;quot; Manuka UMF® honey, he says, reduces inflammation and speeds up healing at the same time.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
There are very many people who can benefit from this research, and we hope that in promoting Dr. Molan&#039;s work, that we can assist these people to overcome their infection and lead a better life.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Our recommendation for all serious bacterial infection is to apply Manuka UMF® Honey 15+ or Manuka UMF® Honey 20+&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The health benefits of using this totally natural product are well documented.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manuka UMF® honey is highly effective, completely natural and totally safe.&lt;/b&gt; The Manuka UMF® honey listed below is highly recommended for the treatment of bacterial infection.
&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Seborrheic Dermatitis</title>
 <link>http://www.manuhealth.com/library/treatments/seborrheic-dermatitis</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Natural Dermatitis treatment with Manuka plant extracts&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Seborrheic dermatitis is an inflammatory disorder affecting areas of the head and body where sebaceous glands are most prominent that can vary from mild dandruff to dense flakey and greasy scale. It is common in adolescents and adults in the form of dandruff, while in babies, it is known as cradle cap. In more serious cases it can also affect the skin on other parts of the body, such as the face and chest, and the creases of the arms, legs and groin, and manifest itself as dense flakey and greasy scale.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The following Manuka products offer a natural alternative to prescription drugs, and in many cases, may provide superior results;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.manuhealth.com/products/manuka-umf®-honey-cream-50gm&quot;&gt;Manuka UMF® Honey Cream&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.manuhealth.com/products/east-cape-manuka-cream-50gm&quot;&gt;East Cape Manuka Cream&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.manuhealth.com/products/manuka-soap-75gm&quot;&gt;Manu Manuka Soap&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
We also provide a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.manuhealth.com/products/dermatitis-pack&quot;&gt;specalised Dermatitis treatment pack&lt;/a&gt; comprising;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.manuhealth.com/products/25-east-cape-manuka-oil&quot;&gt;1 x 25% East Cape Manuka oil&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.manuhealth.com/products/manuka-umf®-honey-cream-50gm&quot;&gt;1 x Manuka UMF® Honey Cream&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.manuhealth.com/products/manuka-soap-75gm&quot;&gt;2 x Manu Manuka Soap&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This specialist pack provides everything you need to treat dermatitis, eczema or dandruff in one pack, at a cheaper price than buying the items individually. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About Seborrheic Dermatitis&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The cause of Seborrheic dermatitis is not fully understood, but it may be related to hormones. It is more commonly a male problem which suggests that androgen hormones play a role in its presence.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Dandruff occurs when the scalp sheds its outer layer in clumps rather than in fine particles which are not normally visible. Dandruff is a result of excessively oily skin rather than dry skin. It might also be caused by a fungus, called malassezia, normally present on the skin in small numbers, but in cases of Seborrheic dermatitis, can be present in much larger concentrations.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Chronic dermatitis refers to a longstanding irritable area. It is often darker than the surrounding skin, thickened (lichenified) and much scratched.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Psychological stresses can provoke or aggravate dermatitis, presumably by suppressing normal immune mechanisms.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dermatitis Treatment&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Conventional treatment of Seborrheic dermatitis in the hair usually involves the use of shampoos containing anti-fungal agents salicylic acid, selenium sulfide or pyrithione zinc. When other areas of the body are affected, steroid creams are often prescribed.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka oil and Manuka UMF® honey provide an effective natural alternative to synthetic drug formulations, in mild cases of Dandruff, a shampoo containing Manuka oil will be a useful natural alternative to shampoos containing salicylic acid, selenium sulfide or pyrithione zinc, and as it is a completely natural product, is safe for infants. An additional advantage of using Manuka shampoo is its ability to rid the hair of head lice, a common problem for school age children.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
In more severe cases, diluted Manuka Essential oil and creams containing Manuka oil will be very helpful as will the use of Manuka soap.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Quantity to order:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
We recommend one Dermatitis Treatment Pack for each affected person. If large areas of the body are affected it may be necessary to add a second tube of Manuka UMF honey cream to your order.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
For most people who suffer from the effects of Seborrheic Dermatitis, a combination of 25% Manuka Oil, Manuka UMF Honey Cream and Manuka soap will provide a very effective natural solution to their problems.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Important health benefits from using natural remedies&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka oil is a natural compound found in nature that is not chemically altered in any way. No adverse side effects have ever been reported from the use of Manuka honey or oil products.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka oil will safely and effectively control most strains of fungus present in Seborrheic dermatitis.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka oil is anti-inflammatory, assisting with healing and reducing the characteristic smell associated with fungal and bacterial infections.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka UMF® Honey is not chemically altered in any way, it is highly anti-fungal and anti-bacterial in its natural form, and is known to penetrate deeply into the epidermis, greatly assisting the control of fungal and bacterial infection.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
It is important to remember that everything that you apply to your skin is absorbed into your body, so by using natural products you can enjoy a healthier and happier life by eliminating the use of products that could have harmful side effects.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
If you haven&#039;t already experienced the benefits of using natural skin care products, now is a good time to start. Manuka plant extracts are the effective, natural and safe way to treat and prevent Seborrheic Dermatitis and Dandruff.
&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Scabies</title>
 <link>http://www.manuhealth.com/library/treatments/scabies</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Scabies treatment proven with natural Manuka and Tea Tree products&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Scabies is caused by the parasitic mite Sarcoptes scabiei which burrows beneath the skin leaving dead skin cells and fecal material behind, which in turn can cause a rash or infection of the area. They are a natural human parasite, transmitted mainly by person-to-person contact.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The symptoms of Scabies are; Pimple-like irritations, burrows in, or rash of the skin, especially the webbing between the fingers; and anywhere the skin folds, on the wrist, elbow, or knee; the penis, the breast, or shoulder blades.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The Scabies mite is so small that it can not be seen without magnification, so unless you have a microscope you won&#039;t be able to see them.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Scabies will cause intense itching, especially at night and over most of the body. Scratching will often cause a secondary bacterial infection.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
In the past, there were a number of products that were commonly used to treat these parasites but today there is considerable concern about the safety of some synthetic chemicals, like permethrins which are considered to be carcinogenic. As well as that the Scabies mite has been rapidly increasing resistance to synthetic topical creams and oral agents.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Scientific analysis proves natural treatment highly effective&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;A study carried out by &lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Walton S.F., McKinnon M., Pizzutto S., Dougall A., Williams E., Currie B.J., at the Menzies School of Health in Darwin, Australia, found that&lt;/b&gt; 5% Tea Tree oil and active component terpinen-4-ol was highly effective in reducing Scabies mite survival times &lt;i&gt;in vitro &lt;/i&gt;when&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;compared with 5% permethrin (Lyclear) 25% benzyl benzoate (Ascabiol), 1% lindane (Quellada), and 100-8000 ng/g of ivermectin (Equimec).
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
They concluded: &amp;quot;Documentation of resistance against antiectoparasitic compounds is increasing.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Reported Sarcoptes scabiei (scabies) treatment failures with lindane, crotamiton, and benzyl benzoate, as well as likely emerging resistance to 5% permethrin and oral ivermectin, are of concern and advocate for the identification and development of novel acaricidal drugs&amp;quot;.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
We recommend that if consumers have any concerns at all relating to the safety or effectiveness of synthetic chemical based Scabies treatment, then they should opt for the proven natural alternative.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;We have the proven natural alternative to synthetic drugs!&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Scabies mites can not resist the application of Manuka and Tea Tree oil, treatment with Manuka and Tea Tree oil or cream will not only clear the infestation, but by continuing to use Manuka and Tea Tree  oil products will prevent re-infestation, and help to heal secondary infection that can come from scratching.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Washing with Manuka soap will also assist with the elimination of these parasites and help to prevent re-infestation.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The following Manuka and Tea Tree oil products offer a natural alternative to prescription drugs, and in many cases, may provide superior results;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manu 100% East Cape Manuka oil&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Manu Manuka &amp;amp; Tea Tree Cream&lt;/b&gt; (4% Manuka oil, 5% Tea Tree oil)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manu Manuka Soap&lt;/b&gt; (1.5% Manuka tea tree oil)
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;2 x Manuka Soap&lt;/b&gt; 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
(Reduced price applies when ordering these products as complete scabies pack)
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;How to use the Scabies Treatment Pack&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
All clothing that may have become infected including sheets and towels should be washed in hot water with 10-15 drops of 100% Manuka tea tree oil per load.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
All affected people in the family should bath with 10-15 drops of 100% Manuka Tea Tree oil in the bath water; Manuka Soap should be used for washing.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
All areas where there are indications of Scabies infestation should be treated with 10% East Cape Manuka oil/5% Tea Tree oil on a cotton bud, or applied directly with fingers.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Finally a thin application of Manuka &amp;amp; Tea Tree Cream should be applied to all other areas of the body except the eyes and mouth.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Steps 2, 3, and 4 should be repeated for two days, then left for a week, and repeated for two days again. Should signs of infestation remain after the second two day application, then repeat after a further week.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Quantity to order:&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
We recommend one Scabies Pack for each person infested. For other family members who are not infested, we recommend one bottle of 100% East Cape Manuka oil for clothes washing and to be added to bath water, and one tube of Manuka &amp;amp; Tea Tree cream as prevention.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Health benefits from using natural remedies&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka tea tree oil is a natural compound found in nature that is not chemically altered in any way.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
No adverse side effects have ever been reported from the use of Manuka tea tree oil products.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;It is important to remember that everything that you apply to your skin is absorbed into your body, so by using natural products you can enjoy a healthier and happier life by eliminating the use of products that could have harmful side effects.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
If you haven&#039;t already experienced the benefits of using natural skin care products, now is a good time to start. Manuka tea tree plant extracts are the effective, natural and safe way to treat and prevent Scabies.
&lt;/p&gt;

Simply try our products for at least 30 days. If you are not completely satisfied - for any reason - return the product to us within 60 days for a complete refund less shipping fees.&lt;br /&gt;

 <title>Ringworm</title>
 <link>http://www.manuhealth.com/library/treatments/ringworm</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;New Zealand&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt; East Cape Manuka oil is proven as a highly effective natural remedy that can eliminate skin fungus and ringworm infection.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Ringworm is a skin infection caused by a fungus. It is not (as the name suggests) caused by a worm or parasite.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Skin fungus can infect your body in several forms; as Tinea corporis, scalp as Tinea capitis, groin area as Tinea cruris, (also called jock itch), or feet Tinea pedis (also called athlete&#039;s foot).
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Ringworm is a common skin complaint, especially among children, but it may affect people of all ages. Ringworm is contagious. It can be passed from one person to the next by direct skin-to-skin contact or by contact with contaminated items such as combs, unwashed clothing, and shower or pool surfaces.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
You can also catch ringworm from pets that carry the fungus. Cats are common carriers of ring worm, and they can also be successfully treated with Manuka oil based products. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Natural alternatives to prescription medication&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
There have been a number of so-called home remedies for ring worm fungus promoted over the years including Vicks Vapor rub, vinegar, Listerine and garlic, which may in some cases may appear to offer temporary relief but which will in the long run be completely ineffective.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Australian Tea Tree oil (Melaleuca Alternifolia) can be useful although some people have reported experiencing irritation from using this oil.

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;How to use the Ringworm Treatment Pack&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;All clothing, sheets and towels should be washed in hot water with 10-15 drops of 100% East Cape Manuka oil and if possible allowed to dry in direct sunlight.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;All areas of the body should be washed thoroughly with Manuka soap. &lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;All areas should be dried thoroughly with a towel kept exclusively for each person, (the towel should be washed daily with East Cape Manuka oil added to the wash)&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;The affected area should be treated with 25% East Cape Manuka oil on a cotton bud or similar, and rubbed well in. &lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;All areas adjacent to the infection should have East Cape Manuka cream applied daily.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Treatment should continue every day for 1-2 weeks using 25% Manuka oil and East Cape Manuka cream as described, washing with Manuka soap daily.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Quantity to order:&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;We recommend one Ringworm Treatment Pack for each infected person. If large areas of the body are infected it may be necessary to add a second bottle of 25% Manuka oil to your order.&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Important health benefits from using natural remedies&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka tea tree essential oil is a natural compound found in nature that is not chemically altered in any way, nor are any other chemicals or synthetic compounds added to make it effective.

 <title>Psoriasis</title>
 <link>http://www.manuhealth.com/library/treatments/psoriasis</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Psoriasis treatment may be assisted with natural Manuka plant extracts&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Anecdotal evidence suggests that Manuka UMF honey cream may be an effective home remedy psoriasis treatment.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Some cases of psoriasis are so mild that people don&#039;t know they have it. Severe psoriasis may cover large areas of the body. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Psoriasis is not contagious and cannot be passed from one person to another, but it is most likely to occur in members of the same family.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The cause of psoriasis is unknown. However, recent discoveries point to an abnormality in the functioning of white blood cells which trigger inflammation and the immune response in the skin.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Because of the inflammation, the skin grows too rapidly. Normally, the skin replaces itself in about 30 days, but in psoriasis, the process speeds up and replaces the skin in three to four days, and the signs of psoriasis develop.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
We recommend that psoriasis sufferers consult with a qualified dermatologist, who will make prescribe appropriate medication for individual patients depending on the severity of their condition.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manuka UMF® Honey cream may provide some assistance to mild psoriasis&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
We do not make any claim that our natural Manuka tea tree oil and honey based cream will cure psoriasis, but it may offer some relief from the symptoms.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Unlike studies that have shown conclusively that Manuka UMF honey and tea tree oil are highly effective antimicrobial agents in controlling a wide range of gram positive bacteria and fungi, we are not aware of any scientific studies that have shown Manuka honey or essential oil to be effective in controlling psoriasis.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
However, we have received a number of reports from individual consumers that it has provided varying degrees of assistance in cases of psoriasis.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
We are unsure if these reported cases are in fact psoriasis, we consider it more likely that they may in fact be eczema or seborrheic dermatitis, which, given their fungal and/or bacterial association are more likely to be assisted by the use of Manuka based products.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
For people wishing to try Manuka products for psoriasis relief we would suggest the use of:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Active Manuka Healing Cream&lt;/b&gt; (a formulation containing both Manuka tea tree oil and Active Manuka UMF® honey)
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Health benefits from using natural remedies&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
There is now a growing awareness of the health benefits derived from using a natural Manuka essential oil and/or Manuka UMF® honey based treatment for virtually all bacterial and fungal skin infections.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
While we recommend consulting a qualified Dermatologist regarding treatment for Psoriasis, there may be some merit in using the natural Manuka Honey cream, and we encourage people who have tried it to report their experiences back to us so that we can pass this information on to others.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Please note&lt;br /&gt;
We have no desire to imply effective treatment for psoriasis or any other skin condition that can not be substantiated.&lt;br /&gt;
To do so would be to detract from the successful treatment of conditions where Manuka skin care products are highly effective.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The Manuka tea tree products listed below may provide relief from the symptoms of Psoriasis.
&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Nail Fungus</title>
 <link>http://www.manuhealth.com/library/treatments/nail-fungus</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Nail fungus treatment with Manuka tea tree oil proven to be highly effective&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Scientific studies undertaken at New Zealand&#039;s Cawthron Institute confirm that East cape Manuka tea tree oil is 5-10 times more effective in controlling selected tinea fungi than Australian Tea Tree oil.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Nail fungus or Onychomycosisis caused by an organism called Tinea Unguium.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
It takes up residence in the nail bed beneath the nail and can be very difficult to eradicate. The fungus is contagious and is often picked up at places like swimming pools, gymnasiums and sports changing areas.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
If left untreated it can also spread to other parts of the body and infect other family members.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Symptoms of nail fungus include brittleness, discoloration, thickening, shape distortion, crumbling of the nail and detachment of the nail.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
It is possible to treat fungus nail at home and in most cases there will be no need to resort to taking prescription drugs which have well documented side-effects.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
But to be successful in treating fungus toenail or fingernail it is vital to expose the source of the fungus infection. It will be necessary to cut away the affected nail entirely until there is only healthy nail remaining, and you may need to visit a chiropodist to do this.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
To attempt to treat fungus toenail or fingernail without removing the entire affected nail will be a waste of time as the Manuka oil must be in contact the source of the infection.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Once this is done, apply Manuka oil 2-3 times daily to the infected area until the new nail has completely grown out.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;We recommend initial treatment with ‘Manu&#039; 100% Pure East Cape Manuka tea tree oil.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The hands and feet, and any other area that may be prone to fungal infection should be washed twice daily with East Cape Manuka soap, all areas dried thoroughly and Manuka tea tree oil re-applied to the affected and surrounding areas.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Socks should be changed daily, washed and placed in the sun if possible.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
After two weeks of twice daily fungus nail treatment, the treatment should be continued once daily for another two weeks.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Provided the Manuka tea tree oil has been able to fully access the source of the fungus nail, it will provide a complete cure of the infection and a healthy nail will gradually grow out.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
If there appears to be fungus present in groin or other areas East Cape Manuka cream containing 4% Manuka oil can be used.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Natural alternatives to prescription medication&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka essential oil is proven in scientific In Vitro studies and general usage to be highly effective against most types of Tinea fungus nail infections including Tinea Unguium.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The following Manuka products offer a natural alternative to prescription drugs, and in many cases, may provide superior results;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manu 100% Pure East Cape Manuka tea tree oil&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manu Manuka soap&lt;/b&gt; (1.5% Manuka tea tree oil)
&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Head Lice</title>
 <link>http://www.manuhealth.com/library/treatments/head-lice</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Head and Body Louse control successful with natural Manuka oil treatment&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;New Zealand Manuka tea tree oil and cream products have a long history of successful use that not only clears the louse infestation, but also helps to prevent them from returning.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
There are three lice species that infest humans; Head Lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) Pubic Lice or Crab Lice; (Phthirus pubis) and Body Lice (Pediculus humanus corpus)
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;All three species can be eliminated by applying Manuka products to the infested areas&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
All three species are natural human parasites, and are transmitted mainly by person-to-person contact.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Head lice (Pediculus capitis) are small parasitic insects that live mainly on the scalp and neck hairs of their human host.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Head lice most often infest children of kindergarten or school age as children&#039;s heads are often in close proximity during activities and play and transfer from one child to another very easily.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Frequently parents will discover head lice in a child&#039;s hair, and treat it, only to find their child re-infested again in a very short space of time.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Body and Pubic lice are less common, but can be very unpleasant in people who become infested.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
In the past, there were a number of synthetic chemical products that were commonly used to treat these parasites but today there is considerable concern about the safety of some synthetic chemicals, and resistance has been rapidly increasing in lice to both topical creams and oral agents.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
We recommend that if consumers have any concerns at all relating to the safety or effectiveness of synthetic chemical based louse treatment, then they should opt for the natural solution.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Fortunately there is a natural solution, and it is very effective!&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
All of these Louse infestations can be treated by the application of a diluted form of Manuka tea tree oil.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Lice can not stand the presence of Manuka tea tree oil, treatment with Mild (4%) Manuka oil will not only clear the lice infestation, but by continuing to either rinse a child&#039;s hair with a small amount of oil in the final rinse, or by gently rubbing a few drops into the hair, will prevent re-infestation.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Washing with Manuka soap will also assist with the elimination of these parasites and help to prevent re-infestation.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The following Manuka tea tree products offer a natural alternative to prescription drugs, and in many cases, may provide superior results;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manu 4% East Cape Manuka oil &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;East Cape&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt; Manuka Cream&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/b&gt; (4% Manuka tea tree oil)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manu Manuka Soap&lt;/b&gt; (1.5% Manuka tea tree oil)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manuka Shampoo&lt;/b&gt; (presently under development)
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Health benefits from using natural remedies&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka tea tree oil is a natural compound found in nature that is not chemically altered in any way.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka tea tree oil will safely and effectively control head and body louse infestations.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka tea tree oil is also strongly anti-bacterial, helping to prevent any secondary infection resulting from scratching an infested area.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;It is important to remember that everything that you apply to your skin is absorbed into your body, so by using natural products you can enjoy a healthier and happier life by eliminating the use of products that could have harmful side effects.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

If you haven&#039;t already experienced the benefits of using natural skin care products, now is a good time to start. Manuka tea tree products are the effective, natural and safe way to treat all lice infestations.

 <title>Insect Bites and Stings</title>
 <link>http://www.manuhealth.com/library/treatments/insect-bites-and-stings</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Insect bites and stings treated with natural  plant extracts&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manuka tea tree oil products are an ideal home remedy to prevent swelling, pain and infection resulting from insect bites and stings.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Recent scientific studies show New Zealand Manuka tea tree oil effectively controls bacteria, and has anti-inflammatory properties.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Insects can bite or sting any of us at any time, but most often it is our children who are stung or bitten by coming into contact with insects through play, or just lack of awareness of the painful repercussions of getting too close to these fascinating little creatures.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The differences between venomous and non-venomous stings and bites are due to the nature of the bite or sting.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Venomous insects attack as a defense mechanism, injecting painful, toxic venom through their stingers.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Non-venomous insects bite and usually inject anti-coagulant saliva in order to feed on your blood.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Although local irritation and &amp;quot;allergic&amp;quot; reactions do occur from non-venomous bites, severe reactions such as anaphylactic shock only happen from venom stings.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
When honey bees sting, they leave the stinger and venom sack attached. Venom continues to pump in through the stinger until the sack is empty or the stinger is removed.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Honey bees die after they sting, but wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets don&#039;t leave their stingers, thus can sting you over and over.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Venomous stings are always very painful, red, and swollen up to 12 inches around the sting site, and can be serious in the neck region where swelling could affect breathing.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Biting insects generally aren&#039;t dangerous because allergic reactions are extremely rare, for most of us their bites just result in itching.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
A side effect of the sting or bite can be the introduction to harmful bacteria below the skin.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manuka tea tree oil and honey products provide two-fold relief from insect stings and bites&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka tea tree oil extracted from plants growing in the wild in the East Cape region of New Zealand&#039;s North Island is a specific triketone rich chemotype, and independent scientific studies have demonstrated that this oil is highly effective against gram positive bacteria.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
A dab of Strong or Mild Manuka tea tree oil or a small amount of East Cape Manuka tea tree cream will sterilize the area where the sting or bite took place and in addition through the anti-inflammatory properties of this oil, will also reduce the swelling and the pain from the sting or bite.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The following Manuka tea tree plant based natural products are available which are effective in controlling most forms of bacteria likely to infect the site of insect bites or stings and relieving swelling to the immediate area.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Strong Manuka oil&lt;/b&gt; (25% Manuka tea tree oil)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Active Manuka Honey Cream&lt;/b&gt; (containing both Manuka tea tree oil and Active Manuka UMF® honey)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;East Cape Manuka Cream&lt;/b&gt; (4% Manuka tea tree oil)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manuka soap&lt;/b&gt; (1.5% Manuka tea tree oil)
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Important health benefits from using natural remedies&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka tea tree oil is a natural compound found in nature that is not chemically altered in any way.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
No adverse side effects have ever been reported from the use of Manuka tea tree honey or oil products.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka tea tree oil will safely and effectively control bacteria introduced through insect bites and stings.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;It is important to remember that everything that you apply to your skin is absorbed into your body, so by using natural products you may be able to eliminate using products that could have harmful side effects and enjoy a healthier and happier life.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
By using natural products that are harvested using sustainable management practices, you are also contributing to the preservation and protection of valuable natural resources, ensuring the survival of important health giving plant species in an increasingly industrialized world.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
If you haven&#039;t already experienced the benefits of using natural skin care products, now is a good time to start. Manuka tea tree products are the effective, natural and safe way to treat and protect against insect bites and stings.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Unconditional money back guarantee&lt;/b&gt;

 <title>Herpes and Cold Sores</title>
 <link>http://www.manuhealth.com/library/treatments/herpes-and-cold-sores</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Herpes cold sores treated successfully with natural Manuka plant extracts&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manuka tea tree oil is proven in scientific in vitro studies to be strongly antiviral, providing an effective home remedy solution for oral and genital Herpes Simplex infection.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Herpes simplex is commonly referred to as cold sores or fever blisters. It is a viral infection of the skin that may occur once or return again and again. When the virus is cleared from the skin by the immune system it hides in the nerves and is never completely removed from the body.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Herpes infections are very common. It is estimated that nine out of ten people have been exposed to herpes; people can be infected without knowing it. Unfortunately those who carry herpes can spread the disease without being aware of it.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Now relief can be found with the use of Manuka tea tree oil&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka tea tree essential oil from New Zealand&#039;s East Cape containing high levels of triketone compounds is very effective in controlling the Herpes virus and is a viable natural alternative to prescription formulas.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The following Manuka tea tree products offer a natural alternative to prescription drugs, and in many cases, may provide superior results;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Important health benefits from using natural remedies&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka tea tree oil is a natural compound found in nature that is not chemically altered in any way.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
No adverse side effects have ever been reported from the use of Manuka tea tree honey or oil products.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka tea tree oil will safely and effectively control the Herpes virus
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;It is important to remember that everything that you apply to your skin is absorbed into your body, so by using natural products you can enjoy a healthier and happier life by eliminating the use of products that could have harmful side effects.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Foot and Body Odor</title>
 <link>http://www.manuhealth.com/library/treatments/foot-and-body-odor</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Foot and Body Odor problems solved with natural New Zealand Manuka plant extracts&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Recent studies by&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;the&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Department of Microbiology, University of Otago, New Zealand, found that East Cape Manuka tea tree oil successfully controlled almost all forms of bacteria responsible for causing foot and body odor at levels as low as 0.01% v/v.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Body and foot odor is most often caused by the breakdown of bacteria on the surface of the skin, particularly in areas where there may be dead skin due to other factors such as the presence of fungi in cases of Tinea or Athlete&#039;s Foot.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
When the body perspires, bacteria multiply in the warm, moist areas of the body. As they multiply and then die, they release an odor to the atmosphere as they decompose.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
To control body odor, bathe or shower once (preferably twice) a day, scrubbing thoroughly with Manuka soap, then apply deodorant and/or antiperspirant.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Foot odor can be more difficult to control because a fungal infection is often present, most frequently between the toes, and further steps will need to be taken to eliminate the fungi which is the underlying cause of the odor.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Feet should be thoroughly washed with antibacterial Manuka tea tree soap, dried fully and treated with 100% pure Manuka tea tree oil between the toes and any other affected areas, like the thick skin on the soles of the feet, under and around toe nails where there may be a build up of decaying skin, before putting on clean socks.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Socks should be dried in direct sunlight if possible to assist their natural sterilization.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The following Manuka tea tree products offer a natural alternative to prescription drugs, and in many cases, may provide superior results;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manu Manuka and Tea Tree cream&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manu 4% Manuka oil&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manu East Cape&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt; Manuka Cream &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;(4% Manuka oil)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manu Manuka soap &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;(1.5% Manuka oil)&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Important health benefits from using natural remedies&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka tea tree oil is a natural compound found in nature that is not chemically altered in any way.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka tea tree oil will safely and effectively control most strains of fungi and almost all gram positive bacteria leading to foot and body odor.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka tea tree oil is strongly anti-bacterial, assisting with healing and reducing the characteristic smell associated with Tinea infections.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;It is important to remember that everything that you apply to your skin is absorbed into your body, so by using natural products you can enjoy a healthier and happier life by eliminating the use of products that could have harmful side effects.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Eczema</title>
 <link>http://www.manuhealth.com/library/treatments/eczema</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Eczema relief provided by effective natural Manuka oil and honey extract treatment&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Scientific studies show New Zealand East Cape Manuka oil and UMF&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;®&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;Honey&lt;b&gt; to be strongly antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory, providing effective natural relief from the symptoms of Eczema.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Eczema is a general term covering various inflamed skin conditions including one of the most common forms of Eczema, Atopic Dermatitis or Atopic Eczema.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
A significant percentage of the world&#039;s population is affected by this chronic, relapsing, and very itchy rash at some point during childhood. Fortunately, many children with eczema find that the disease clears and often disappears with age. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
In general, Atopic Dermatitis will come and go, often based on external factors. Although its cause is unknown, the condition appears to be an abnormal response of the body&#039;s immune system.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
In people with Eczema, the inflammatory response to irritating substances is overactive, causing itching and scratching. The affected areas are then exposed to bacterial infection which makes the condition worse.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;The itch that rashes&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Eczema is most often characterized by dry, red, extremely itchy patches on the skin and is sometimes referred to as &amp;quot;the itch that rashes&amp;quot; since the itch, when scratched, results in the appearance of the rash.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Eczema is not contagious and, like many diseases, currently cannot be cured. However, for most patients the condition may be managed well with suitable treatment.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Medication for Eczema can take many forms, mainly topical (in that they are applied to the surface of the skin) which involve the use of corticosteroids, moisturizers, coal tar etc.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
In severe cases systemic antibiotic medication either injected below the skin or taken orally can be used to control infection of the rash area.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Possible side effects from overuse of prescription drugs&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
As is the case with many prescription drugs, overuse can lead to side effects including thinning skin, stretch marks, dilated blood vessels, and loss of effectiveness, which can occur when high potency corticosteroids are used over long periods of time.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Drugs called calcineurin inhibitors are steroid free and are designed to reduce inflammation of Atopic Eczema or Dermatitis, and while they do not produce the side effects of corticosteroids, they can cause a stinging or burning sensation in the area of application.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Yet other immunosuppressant drugs require monitoring of blood pressure and kidney function before and during use, and their use has been attributed to increased risk of developing cancers, headaches, burning or tingling sensations in the arms or legs, general fatigue, abdominal upsets and musculoskeletal or joint pain.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
With all the potential shortcomings of prescription drugs many people are asking the question, &amp;quot;Is there a safe natural product that can help my condition without the possible side effects?&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Safe and natural alternative&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Two of the most successful (but not well known) natural products which can assist with a wide range of skin conditions are the Essential Oil and Honey from the New Zealand Manuka plant (Leptospermum scoparium)
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Another page of this web-site titled Manuka Honey in Medicine provides an introduction to the research undertaken by Dr Peter Molan MBE, Associate Professor in Biochemistry at the University of Waikato, New Zealand, which describes the effectiveness of Manuka honey with a high &amp;quot;Unique Manuka Factor&amp;quot; in controlling bacteria including antibiotic resistant forms of Staphylococcus Aureus.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
To read more about Dr. Molan&#039;s research &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.manu.co.nz/manuka-honey-in-medicine.html&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Dr. Molan&#039;s research into the effectiveness of Manuka UMF® honey for medical purposes has been so compelling that this special honey is now being included in a range of topical skin care formulations. It should be noted that inclusion of Manuka UMF® honey in commercial skincare preparations does not imply endorsement by Dr. Molan.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The inclusion of Manuka UMF® honey in Eczema relief products offers a number of benefits:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka UMF honey is highly effective in controlling bacteria which are often a major factor in eczema conditions.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka honey helps to lubricate and soften the affected area.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka honey is hydroscopic in that it attracts moisture, keeping the affected area moist and supple.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka honey is rich in vitamins, minerals, proteins, enzymes and amino acids all of which are essential for healthy skin.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manuka honey and oil creams provide a two pronged attack on Eczema&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka Essential Oil produced exclusively from the East Cape region of New Zealand is also proven in scientific studies to be strongly antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory. When combined in a cream formulation with Manuka honey, it offers a two pronged attack against the effects of Eczema.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The anti-inflammatory quality of Manuka oil is particularly useful in ‘calming&#039; areas of skin affected by Eczema.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
We are now able to provide totally natural Manuka honey and Manuka oil based creams that do not contain any synthetic chemicals, colors or perfumes.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The following Manuka products offer a natural alternative to prescription drugs, and in many cases, may provide superior results;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;25% Manuka oil&lt;/b&gt; (25% Manuka oil)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
(Reduced price applies when ordering as the complete Eczema pack)
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;How to use the Eczema Treatment Pack&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Apply the 25% Manuka oil and Manuka UMF honey cream alternatively either night or morning, use the Manuka soap for washing affected areas as required.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Quantity to order:&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;We recommend one Eczema Treatment Pack for each infected person. If large areas of the body are affected it may be necessary to add a second tube of Manuka UMF honey cream to your order.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
For most people who suffer from the effects of Eczema, a combination of Strong Manuka Oil, Manuka Healing Cream and Manuka soap will provide a very effective natural solution to their Eczema problems.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Important health benefits from using natural remedies&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka oil is a natural compound found in nature that is not chemically altered in any way.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Manuka oil will safely and effectively control almost all gram positive bacteria and fungi that may be present in areas of skin affected by Eczema.

Manuka UMF® Honey is not chemically altered in any way, it is highly anti-fungal and anti-bacterial in its natural form, and is known to penetrate deeply into the epidermis, greatly assisting the control of fungal and bacterial infection.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;It is important to remember that everything that you apply to your skin is absorbed into your body, so by using natural products you can enjoy a healthier and happier life by eliminating the use of products that could have harmful side effects.&lt;/b&gt;

 <title>Diaper Rash</title>
 <link>http://www.manuhealth.com/library/treatments/diaper-rash</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Diaper Rash treated quickly and safely with natural Manuka plant extracts &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Independent scientific studies confirm New Zealand&#039;s East Cape Manuka oil and Manuka UMF® honey control bacteria present in Diaper Rash infections. In Vitro testing by the Cawthron Institute show New Zealand East Cape Manuka oil to be highly effective in controlling gram positive bacteria which are the leading cause of Diaper rash.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Furthermore the Institute found that this chemotype of Manuka oil is up to 30 times more effective than Australian oil when exposed to gram positive bacteria.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
We recommend these totally natural Manuka honey and oil based creams that do not contain any synthetic chemicals, colors, or perfumes, which are effective in controlling Diaper Rash and won&#039;t harm baby&#039;s sensitive new skin;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.manuhealth.com/products/manuka-umf®-honey-cream-50gm&quot;&gt;UMF Manuka Honey cream&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.manuhealth.com/products/manuka-magic-cream-100gm&quot;&gt;Manuka Magic Healing cream&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.manuhealth.com/products/east-cape-manuka-cream-50gm&quot;&gt;East Cape Manuka cream&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.manuhealth.com/products/manuka-soap-75gm&quot;&gt;East Cape Manuka soap&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;About Diaper Rash&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
In studies undertaken at the University of Waikato, New Zealand, Manuka honey, particularly the honey that has been tested and certified as Active Manuka honey containing the &amp;quot;Unique Manuka Factor&amp;quot; (UMF®) has been shown to be highly effective in controlling a wide range on micro-organisms, even MRSA bacteria which have developed resistance to antibiotics.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Diaper rash can be caused by any number of things including friction, irritants, allergies, intertrigo, seborrhea, and psoriasis to name a few.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Usually the rash will involve skin wetness, most frequently from urine which raises the pH level, makes the skin less cohesive and more permeable. This in turn makes the tender skin more prone to invasion from yeasts and bacteria.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Relief and protection from totally natural Manuka oil and honey products&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The antibacterial qualities of Manuka oil and honey are now available to assist the healing of Diaper Rash and Chafing in several creams and soaps that are very gentle, yet highly effective in their antimicrobial action.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Health benefits from using natural remedies&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka oil is a natural compound found in nature that is not chemically altered in any way.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
No adverse side effects have ever been reported from the use of Manuka honey or oil products.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka oil will safely and effectively control almost all gram positive bacteria leading to Diaper Rash and Chafing.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka UMF® 15+ Honey is not chemically altered in any way, it is highly anti-fungal and anti-bacterial in its natural form, and is known to penetrate deeply into the epidermis, greatly assisting the control of fungal and bacterial infection.
&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Natural Antiseptic</title>
 <link>http://www.manuhealth.com/library/treatments/natural-antiseptic</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;First Aid solution provided by natural Manuka plant extracts&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;East Cape Manuka tea tree oil is proven in independent scientific studies to have powerful antimicrobial properties, making it an ideal natural antiseptic for the treatment of cuts, scratches and minor burns.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Minor wounds are part of every day life particularly for children, and the first priority is to stop the bleeding if any, cleanse the area, and prevent infection.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Any area of damage to the skin is an ideal place for harmful bacteria to invade and precautions should be taken to eliminate the bacteria that are present and to prevent the opportunity for others to enter the area of the wound.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka oil and Manuka honey based creams are ideal for this sort of situation, as they are highly antibacterial and will promote rapid healing of the damaged area. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Tea Tree oil used by Australian Forces in World War 1&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Australian tea tree oil has been recognized for years as being effective in controlling bacterial infection, so much so that special exemption from Military Service was granted to Australians working in tea tree oil production in World War 1 in order to produce sufficient supplies of the antiseptic oil to be included in medical supplies destined for the front line.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The saving of many soldiers&#039; lives has been attributed to the quick action of medical teams in applying tea tree oil to wounds and preventing the onset of infection.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Recent research has shown that the New Zealand Manuka tea tree oil ‘East Cape Chemotype&#039; (Leptospermum scoparium) a botanical relative of Australian tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) to be up to 30 times more effective than Australian tea tree oil in controlling a range of gram positive bacteria.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka tea tree oil extracted from plants growing in the wild in the East Cape region of New Zealand&#039;s North Island is a specific triketone rich chemotype, and independent scientific studies have demonstrated that this oil is highly effective against gram positive bacteria and many forms of skin fungus conditions.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka UMF Honey highly effective anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agent.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka Honey, particularly the honey that has been tested and certified as Active Manuka honey containing the &amp;quot;Unique Manuka Factor&amp;quot; (UMF® ) has also been shown in University of Waikato, New Zealand, studies to be highly effective in controlling the bacterial and fungal micro-organisms that can cause various skin infections.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
We recommend the following Manuka products;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manu 25% East Cape Manuka oil &lt;br /&gt;
Manu 4% East Cape Manuka oil&lt;br /&gt;
Manu Manuka and Tea Tree Cream&lt;/b&gt; (contains Manuka and tea Tree oil )&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Manu Manuka Soap&lt;/b&gt; (1.5% Manuka tea tree oil)
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
There are many health benefits from using natural Manuka tea tree essential oil and Manuka UMF Honey based treatment for all human bacterial and fungal infections;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka tea tree oil is a natural compound found in nature that is not chemically altered in any way.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
East Cape Manuka tea tree oil and Manuka UMF® Honey are both natural broad spectrum antimicrobial agents that control almost all gram positive bacteria that can infect cuts, scratches and minor burns.

 <title>Chiggers</title>
 <link>http://www.manuhealth.com/library/treatments/chiggers</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Chigger attacks prevented with Deet-free natural tea tree plant extract&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Essential oil and cream from the New Zealand Manuka tea tree species can provide a powerful Deet Free repellent solution to prevent Chigger attack.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The application of the following diluted forms of Manuka tea tree essential oil, either blended with almond oil or contained in a cream will provide lasting and safe protection;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.manuhealth.com/products/manuka-and-tea-tree-cream-50gm&quot;&gt;Manuka and Tea Tree cream&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About Chiggers/Red Bug&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Chiggers or Red Bug (&lt;i&gt;Trombicula alfreddugesi&lt;/i&gt;) attack can torment people causing intense itchiness, often leading to severe scratching which can cause secondary infection of the scratched areas. It is the larvae of the chigger rather than the adult that attacks humans; they are very small and are hard to see without magnification. Chigger larvae live in damp low lying areas and transfer to a passing human from long grass or undergrowth.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Once the Chigger is on the body it sets about getting its first meal. It does this by piercing the skin and injecting a saliva secretion which contains enzymes that dissolve the skin cells. This solution is then sucked up leaving a straw like feeding tube that hardens, produces a welt and becomes intensely itchy. Although Chiggers do not normally introduce other diseases as mosquitoes can, the bite area can develop into dermatitis.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Once bitten by Chiggers it is too late to stop the resulting itching, so the best course of action is to deter them from attacking in the first place.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Therefore an effective Chigger repellent is essential.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Many people prefer not to use synthetic chemical repellants on themselves or their children for safety reasons, and seek a natural product that can prevent Chigger bites.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Manuka and Tea Tree essential oil products provide a 3 fold benefit, they will repel the Chigger attack, but if applied too late and Chiggers have already attacked, Manuka oil will help to reduce inflammation, and will also help to prevent bacterial infection that could result from scratching.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Important health benefits from using natural remedies&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka oil is a natural compound found in nature that is not chemically altered in any way.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
No adverse side effects have ever been reported from the use of Manuka honey or oil products.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
It is important to remember that everything that you apply to your skin is absorbed into your body, so by using natural products you can enjoy a healthier and happier life by eliminating the use of products that could have harmful side effects.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
If you haven&#039;t already experienced the benefits of using natural products, now is a good time to start. Manuka tea tree plant extracts are the effective, natural and safe way to prevent Chigger attacks.

 <title>Athletes Foot</title>
 <link>http://www.manuhealth.com/library/treatments/athletes-foot</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Recent scientific studies confirm East Cape Manuka tea tree oil to be highly effective in controlling Foot and Toe Fungus infections.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Tinea pedis commonly known as Athlete&#039;s foot is a skin disease caused by a fungus, usually occurring between the toes, resulting in cracked skin, itching, scaling, inflammation, blisters and dry skin.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
It will often spread to the soles of the feet and to the toenails, and can also be spread to other parts of the body, notably the groin and underarms, by those who scratch the infection and then transfer the fungi elsewhere, or by using the same area of towel used to dry between the toes.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Once an area of the skin has been infected with a fungus organism, decaying skin allows bacteria to multiply, causing a distinctive bad aroma from the infected area.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.manuka-nz.co.nz/article_info.php/articles_id/34/&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Scientific Studies&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; undertaken by New Zealand&#039;s Cawthron Institute demonstrate conclusively that one chemotype of Manuka tea tree essential oil, produced in the East Cape region of New Zealand&#039;s North Island to be highly effective in controlling and eliminating many strains of foot and toe fungus.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Furthermore, the same East Cape Manuka tea tree oil is also highly effective in controlling gram positive bacteria which are also often present in areas where fungi have become established.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
East Cape Manuka tea tree oil was found in testing to be up to 30 times more effective than Australian Tea Tree oil in controlling gram positive bacteria, and is now considered to be a world leader in natural antimicrobial treatments.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The following Manuka tea tree products offer a natural alternative to prescription drugs, and in many cases, may provide superior results;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manu 100% East Cape Manuka Oil&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manu 25% Manuka oil&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;East Cape&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt; Manuka Cream (4% Manuka oil)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manuka Soap (1.5% Manuka essential oil)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Tinea Treatment Pack comprises: &lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;1 x 100% Manuka oil, &lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;1 x 25% Manuka oil, &lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;1 x East Cape Manuka cream&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;2 x Manuka soap&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
(Reduced price applies when ordering as the complete Tinea Pack)
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;How to use the Tinea Treatment Pack&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
All socks should be washed in hot water with 10-15 drops of 100% East Cape Manuka oil and if possible allowed to dry in direct sunlight.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The affected area should be washed thoroughly with Manuka soap and any soft or loose skin removed.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The affected area should be dried thoroughly with a small towel kept exclusively for this purpose, (the towel should be washed daily in the same wash as socks treated with East Cape Manuka oil)
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The affected area should be treated with 100% East Cape Manuka oil on a cotton bud or similar, and rubbed well in to the affected area, toe nails should be clipped very short and special attention should be paid to getting good coverage with oil between the toes, around and under toe nails and anywhere else that tinea appears to be present.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Any other areas that may be affected like the groin or armpits should have East Cape Manuka cream applied daily.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Treatment should continue every day for 2-3 weeks using 100% Manuka oil on affected areas, when the infection appears to be controlled, treatment should continue for a further 2 weeks using 25% Manuka oil, and washing with Manuka soap
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The continuation of treatment is very important because the thick areas of skin on the feet in particular can harbour a tinea infection for many weeks, therefore treatment must continue well past what appears to be visible control of the infection.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Quantity to order:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
We recommend one Tinea treatment pack for each infected person. If large areas are infected it may be necessary to add a second bottle of 100% Manuka oil to your order.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Health benefits from using natural remedies&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka tea tree essential oil is a natural compound found in nature that is not chemically altered in any way.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
No adverse side effects have ever been reported from the use of Manuka tea tree oil products.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
By virtue of its powerful anti-bacterial properties, Manuka tea tree oil will also assist with healing and reducing the characteristic smell associated with Tinea pedis infections.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
It is important to remember that everything that you apply to your skin is absorbed into your body, so by using natural products you may be able to eliminate using products that could have harmful side effects, and enjoy a healthier and happier life.
&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Manuka Aromatherapy</title>
 <link>http://www.manuhealth.com/library/treatments/manuka-aromatherapy</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Aromatherapy practice benefits from Manuka oil&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manuka extracts have been used for centuries by the New Zealand Maori people as a traditional mental and emotional medication for stress, fatigue and anxiety.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
It has often been said that stress and anxiety are removed, the dominant health problem will sometimes resolve itself, or at least allow other forms of medication to become more effective in its absence.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Aromatherapy is not intended to replace standard medical care, but is meant to complement it.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Aromatherapy can offer practical benefit for a variety of common ailments or symptoms such as assisting with acne, skincare, cuts, wounds, bruises, inflammation, indigestion, haircare, personal hygiene, menstruation, and for providing mental and emotional assistance with such issues as stress, fatigue, anxiety, etc.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;NZ East Cape Manuka tea tree essential oil has been reported to be particularly effective in Aromatherapy usage&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
For aromatherapy we recommend:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manu 100% Pure East Cape Manuka oil&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Health benefits from using natural remedies&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
It is important to remember that everything that you apply to your skin is absorbed into your body, so by using natural products you may be able to eliminate using products that could have harmful side effects and enjoy a healthier and happier life.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
And as another bonus, by using natural products that are harvested using sustainable management practices, you are contributing to the preservation and protection of valuable natural resources, ensuring the survival of important health giving plant species in an increasingly industrialized world.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;You have the choice!&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The practice of Aromatherapy is thousands of years old, and has provided well documented relief from stress and enhanced recuperation from a wide range of medical conditions for countless people.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
We hope the use of Manuka tea tree oil will further advance the wellbeing of people with its inclusion in qualified Aromatherapy practice.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The Manuka tea tree products listed below are highly recommended for Aromatherapy.

 <title>Acne</title>
 <link>http://www.manuhealth.com/library/treatments/acne</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Natural Manuka plant extracts are proven Acne treatment&lt;/b&gt; 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Recent scientific studies at Otago University in Dunedin, New Zealand have shown conclusively that essential oil extracted from Manuka tea tree (&lt;i&gt;Leptospermum Scoparium&lt;/i&gt;) plants growing in the East Cape region of the North Island provide total control of &lt;i&gt;Acne Vulgaris&lt;/i&gt; bacteria.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
In totally unrelated studies at Waikato University in Hamilton, New Zealand, Active Manuka honey containing the &amp;quot;Unique Manuka Factor&amp;quot; (UMF®) has been confirmed as having unrivalled antibacterial activity, controlling even the MRSA bacteria that are proving very difficult to combat with traditional drugs.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
These two Manuka tea tree extracts are great news for both teen and adult Acne sufferers, as it means that you are now able to treat your Acne with products containing natural active ingredients and not have to resort to using prescription drugs that can be both expensive and cause harmful side effects in some people.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Why do acne outbreaks occur in the first place?&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Acne is most commonly associated with changing hormonal levels during teenage years which stimulates the skin to produce more oil from hair follicles.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
As old skin cells are replaced with new ones the follicle can become blocked and form white heads or black heads, and the oil trapped behind the blockage then becomes infected with bacteria, causing swelling and blemishes, often severe enough to cause permanent scarring.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;How do natural products help?&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
East Cape Manuka tea tree oil (extracted from the leaves of the plant by steam distillation) is a specific triketone rich chemotype, containing natural compounds that are highly effective against gram positive bacteria present in acne infections.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The Manuka tea tree oil penetrates the blocked follicle, kills the bacteria and helps to unblock the follicle allowing the built up infection to be released, leaving a sterile clear follicle which heals quickly, reducing or eliminating scarring.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Manuka UMF® honey incorporated in a cream at a concentration of 30% works in much the same way, with its antibacterial properties penetrating deeply into the epidermis, killing the bacteria, and relieving the blocked follicle.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Independent studies show that Manuka honey reduces inflammation, and promotes the healing process. It also re-hydrates the skin; preventing drying which often results from using prescription or other synthetic Acne medication, and helps to prevent scarring.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Natural alternatives to prescription drugs&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Australian tea tree oil has been recognized for years as being effective in controlling some of these organisms, but recent research has shown New Zealand East Cape Manuka tea tree oil to be up to 30 times more effective in controlling gram positive bacteria (present in acne infections) than Australian tea tree oil.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
These natural Manuka tea tree products offer an alternative to prescription drugs, and in many cases, may provide superior results;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Recent studies show that Manuka tea tree (&lt;i&gt;Leptospermum Scoparium&lt;/i&gt;) essential oil, harvested exclusively in the East Cape region of New Zealand&#039;s North Island has strong anti-inflammatory properties that can provide lasting relief from muscular and joint related aches and pain.

&lt;p&gt;
Pain from influenza, sports injuries, over exertion, tiredness and even arthritis can be relieved with this totally natural product.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Soaking the affected areas in warm water will help to relax the area, assisting the natural oils and extracts to penetrate deeply, increasing blood circulation and reducing inflammation.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Because it is completely natural this formulation is very safe and can be used often
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;By avoiding synthetic chemical drugs you will feel healthier, side effects are reduced, and you can continue to use this treatment while taking other forms of medication.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;quot;No-Paine&amp;quot; comes in a handy roll-on applicator providing an effective home remedy for localized treatment of aches and pain. It can be kept in the medicine cabinet or sports bag and simply rolled on to the affected area and massaged into the skin up to 3 times a day or as required.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
