The Mānuka tree has a long history dating back to New Zealand’s first settlers, the indigenous Māori1. The Māori referred to this superplant as “taonga” or “treasure,” and prized it for its wide variety of uses.
In 1980 that the antimicrobial power of Mānuka honey was confirmed by biochemist Peter Molan.
Since then, Mānuka honey has steadily gained popularity and extensive research has been conducted regarding its range of health benefits.
