I need a bit of Australian or Nz advice?

I have reccently come across manuka honey, which isn't liscensed in the UK yet, but is being trialed, however I have found research on the web which suggest that it used often in NZ and OZ.

Is this the case? as I have found some internet research to be unreliable, and I do not know which of the Australian journals for example are the most credible.

In the example of manuka honey dressings I have seen being used the effects were fantastic, and I would really like to find out more, especially if anyone knows of where I can download a systematic review, or randomised controlled trial reports. (can you tell I am learning about Evidence Based Practice at

the moment;))

Thanks for any help

also, try the new zealand companies. manuka is predominantly from NZ as this particular type of plant only grows in NZ. manuka from other countries are "fake"...

maybe they have offices in UK... or u could get a calling card and your call would be cheaper...

Quite a while ago I was a student doing an exlective in district nursing. A lot of the patients had leg ulcers. I asked one day "would they conside using Manuka Honey". The answer was we cannot use that as we cannot be guaranteed that it is bacteria free, it would probably need to be pasteurised. This of course would probably kill off the active ingredients. Since then their may have been a bit more research. Like to hear others views.

Manuka honey is from NZ so c'mon Kiwi's.

Try the wawca.com.au site, they are doing trial on the honey now
