Honey protects against damage caused by bacteria. Some also boost production of special cells that can repair tissue damaged by infection.

INGREDIENTS OF MANUKA HONEY
Hydrogen peroxide is a component of honey, it gives most honey an antibiotic quality, but some types of honey, including manuka honey, also contain other ingredients with antibacterial properties. The main antibacterial component in manuka honey is a methylglyoxal compound found in most honeys, but usually only in small amounts. Manuka containing MG comes from converting another compound dihydroxyacetone, which is found in high concentrations in manuka flower nectar, and MG is believed to give manuka honey its antibacterial strength. It is the higher concentration of MG, which is strong as an antibiotic effect, which determines the true benefits of Manuka honey.
