Manuka Honey
When I learned of the antibacterial/healing quality of honey produced by bees gathering nectar from the Manuka (Tea) tree, I asked a wayward relative to ship me some as he passed through New Zealand. I've just gotten word that two pots await my pickup, just a few miles from here!

Jasmine,
Can you explain what you mean by " healing qualities?" Thanks.

Certainly, Lynn! Manuka Honey - Tasty Medicine From New Zealand is a great article on current research. I believe in Food As Medicine, so the concept of healing honey definitely appeals to me. Read more at the Honey Research Unit of the University of Waikato :)
I had no idea...thank you so much for the links! HUGS
Pretty sweet, huh? :)
One of my favourite cold and flu remedies:
Strong ginseng tea with a tablespoon of active Manuka honey and a piece of fresh ginger.
That stuff is simply amazing!
That sounds soothing, MissyZ. Do you do fresh ginseng root, or another form? I could use some :)
Nope, I just use high-strength teabags. Not sure if you get 'Dr Stuarts' brand on your side of the pond, but those are the ones I use.
Aw, I'm not sure I can find Dr. Stuart's here - no luck so far (looking online). Please follow up if you happen to come across a US or Web source ... thanks!
