Treatment for fungal infection on feet:

"I have recurrent problems with my feet when it comes to fungal issues. Often times, the ball of my foot develops a painful, deep crack, which usually takes a long time to heal with traditional over-the-counter and prescription meds. I applied a light coating of Manuka Honey, just enough to absorb into the skin (before putting on my shoes for the day, as well as before going to bed (covered my feet with cotton socks). I could see a marked difference even after the first day. It was completely healed in 3 days. I have also continued to use it on my feet 2-3 times a week for an overnight treatment. It has kept my feet soft and has conquered my dreaded enemy - looking like I have "old woman's feet"! Love Manuka!  - Anne from Tampa, FL

Treatment for cold sore:

"I noticed that Manuka Honey is a topical healer for many different things, so I decided to try it on a cold sore that had just begun to redden on my upper lip.  I hate these things! The huge, white-filled sore is oh so attractive, yeesh!  I've used over-the-counter products like Blistex and Carmex, as well as others, which help...but not until after the cold sore has "bloomed" in a big, ugly mess on my face.  The Manuka Honey, however, succeded in stopping this cold sore in its tracks!!  Just before it looked like it was going to erupt, I applied the Manuka like a chap stick.  In less then 48 hours it made the cold sore disappear.  I like this stuff : ) -- Jane from New Britian, CT

Manuka as an alternative to antibiotics for treating a sinus infection:

"I have taken many rounds of antibiotics over the years for sinus infections.  I really don't like using antibiotics as often I have been forced to do to get rid of these.  Sinus infections really wear me out...make me feel like I've been hit by a Mack truck - REALLY makes me tired and unproductive.  I tried the Manuka after all had failed, before I was going to resort to yet again getting a prescription for antibiotics.  Two teaspoons a day for 4-5 days did the trick.  I didn't have to take antiobiotics to get rid of it this time. -- Robin from Worcester, MA

Manuka as a hair conditioner:

"The Manuka brochure mentioned that this honey is a good hair conditioner, so I tested it out.  I have very dark, course hair and it feels rough and boyfriends often complain that it "sticks" them uncomfortably.  I used a small dollop of honey, just the same amount I would use with a regular hair conditioner - and it did wonders for my hair.  Every other day use has made my porcupine hair much softer and shinier, looks so healthy. -- Gallen from New Bedford, MA

Manuka for insect bites:

"When I saw that Manuka could treat insect bites, I tried it.  Mosquitoes love me.  I get a number of very itchy bites that I scratch like crazy and they bleed and look awful on my legs.  I put on a tiny bit of Manuka on each of my bites and found that it kept me from scratching much less and also kept the bites from becoming ugly red bumps all over my legs. -- Beverly from Salem, MA

Manuka for food poisoning:

"Richard, let me first of all thank you for introducing Manuka honey to me. After reading the literature attached to it, although I was not thouroughly convinced, I decided to try it following a violent night of what I determined was food poisoning, I took one teaspoon of honey; I had an immediate sense of relief. Since then I have experimented with it from face acne to actually doing a facial cleansing. The product is amazing in addition to which it tastes heavenly. I certainly will introduce manuka honey to my friends and family. You will be hearing from me shortly regarding an order. -- Paulette Russell from Chatham, MA
