Over the past few years there has been quite a lot of press coverage of manuka honey's healing properties. (Though it must be remembered that only some manuka honey actually contains the additional antibacterial level as used in the research).

Not so many people are aware that sterilised manuka honey makes brilliant first aid helper, and is good on many types of wounds.

Manukacare from Comvita is a ready to use tube of sterilised antibacterial manuka honey aimed specifically at wound use.

It has just undergone some packaging redesign to make it easier for you to apply. Manukacare is first aid ready, and suitable for most wound types, including cuts, burns, grazes, and leg ulcers.

Plus it reduces the risk of infection from bacteria including MRSA (and has now gained permission to state this on its packaging).

This is a very handy, 100% natural, and actually very effective item to have in your first aid kit.
