How do you use ManukaCare ?

1. Easy. Just place some directly onto your wound, leg ulcer, or burn.
2. Rub it in slightly, gently, depending on the soreness of the area.
3. As it leaves a layer of honey over the area, if it is going to come into contact with clothing or something else, then simply place a dressing of some kind over it.
4. For more serious wounds, and external ulcers, it is ideal to also add a little of the honey on to the dressing too before placing it over the area concerned.

You get better, faster healing of your leg ulcers or wounds, from a highly effective natural solution free from added chemicals.

When it comes to wounds, whether leg ulcers, surgical wounds or other, for topical application it is important to use a proper medical grade manuka honey.

Importantly this has been produced, tested and verified to a different and stricter standard than the jars of honey. 

Not only does this ensure the honey does contain the appropriate extra antibacterial properties, but that it has been sterilised too.

Medical grade honey has also been through a finer filtering process, eg taking out smaller pollen granules and other things that could potentially disturb a wound.

Did you know?

- Comvita have their own specialist apiary (beekeeping unit) for producing their medical grade manuka honey. This supplies for both the Comvita Manukacare and Medihoney dressing products. Thus the complete process can be better controlled from the cleanliness of the beehives right through to the product you are applying to your wound.

Apply direct onto the wound area.

If adding a dressing over top them apply a little Manukacare to the inside of the dressing too.

If using a dressing, use as non-absorbent a one as possible (you want to honey to stay on the wound to heal it, not be soaked away).

User feedback and reviews:

On Friday, 11 January I ordered from you 3 tubes of Manukacare 18+, which arrived safely on the 14th. Many thanks. I have now used the product three times (Monday, Tuesday, and today - Wednesday) but felt you might like to know what has resulted after only two applications.

Several years ago an injury to my right shin developed into an ulcer which, as is often the case, became persistent and did not respond to normal over-the-counter remedies. It was painless, but a visit to my GP produced a prescribed ointment, which was followed by a sleepless night, after which my shin bone had become visible. Moreover two other small lesions had appeared, caused by the action of the plaster securing the dressing and both ulcerating.

My wife is a district nursing sister, and we decided immediately to discontinue the GP's prescription, turning to homoeopathic means of control. A cream consisting of St John's wort and calendula was applied twice daily, with the ulcers being cleaned before application by lavender oil. The pain ceased at once, and in about six weeks all that was left of the ulcers were three slightly discoloured patches of skin.

Since then all has been well, although I have been careful not to damage the very thin skin on my shin. Until, that is, three weeks ago, when a car jack toppled over and - perfectly aimed - hit my right shin. Immediate treatment could not stop the first signs of an ulcer appearing within a day. We began homoeopathic treatment, but the inflammation began to spread, both from the original lesion and from the other two which, apparently skinned by the micropore plaster being removed, had also re-opened. It was then, last week, that I remembered having read somewhere of the benefits of Manuka honey. A search online brought me to your website and resulted in my order.

We ceased all other treatment, and applied the honey on Melolin pads on Monday evening and again on Tuesday morning, by which time there were signs that the surrounding inflammation was reducing and that the ulcers were drying. This morning revealed that one ulcer (the smallest) had dried completely and was skinning over, while the other two were much reduced and the area of inflammation was now confined to the immediate periphery of the lesions. If healing continues at this rate, I shall be surprised if we are not able to stop all treatment within a week. At any rate, I shall let you know when all is well. (One of my three tubes was for a neighbour, and at this rate I shall probably end up using the spare by eating its contents. And you can't say that for either homoeopathic or allopathic remedies.)

With my thanks and all good wishes to you and your colleagues.

Yours sincerely,

"In August 2007 I had my big toe nail removed by a Doctor. It all went very wrong and needing antibiotics for some 8 weeks and took ages to heal. My other big toe nail was removed by a Podiatrist and took some ten weeks to heal.

We spent February 2008 in New Zealand and whilst there purchased Manuka Honey and WoundCare18+ (ManukaCare 18+) and had a great holiday.

The nail removed by the doctor grew back completely and on 13 March 2008 the Podiatrist removed the nail and I expected it would take a long time to heal. However for the last 2 weeks I have dressed the area with Woundcare (ManukaCare) and it is quite remarkable, the wound is not weeping, it is not inflamed and looks to have reached the stage that previously it took 8 weeks to achieve. I should also point out that I am diabetic and there was some concern that the pulse in this foot was not very strong and I was warned that the healing process could take a long time.

I can only attribute this speedy healing process to Woundcare (ManukaCare) as that is the only circumstance that is different to last year."

"I would just like to thank you for the Manuka honey.  I was told by a skin specialist in June that it would take at least a year to clear up a huge ulcer I had on my leg.  It was 5cms across and in length and 2cms deep, whilst I was seeing the specialist it was difficult to manage to use the honey, however she then decided she would not see me again for another 6 months.  I started to use the honey at the beginning of September and to my delight it has completely cleared up the ulcer.
