**Extremely limited quantities** With a milder flavour than her more famous sister Mānuka, Kānuka is a beautiful tasting honey and comes with a price tag that's far easier to swallow! We are learning more and more about its therapeutic qualities. So far studies have shown its effectiveness as a topical cold sore treatment due to its potent anti-viral properties. It also has the highest level of Arabinogalactans (AGPs) out of all New Zealand honeys (including Mānuka). AGPs are immunostimulatory and powerful antioxidants that can help reduce inflammatory skin conditions such as acne and rosacea. "Tests into the effect of Kānuka Honey on the immune system show that it stimulates cells to release cytokines, which contribute to healing and repair of wounds and the inflammation that indicates infection. Kanuka honey also contains hydrogen peroxide, which has been shown to have antibacterial properties" source: stuff.co.nz Definitely one of our favourite honeys! It's one that's sure to please.
