Advanced Wound Care with Manuka

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 29, 2007 -- One manufacturer has been making its mark on both U.S. and international consumer markets and the brand name is 'Honeymark'. Honeymark International manufactures health care products containing Active Manuka Honey as a healing agent. Manuka Honey is a special type of honey that has been found to have incredible healing qualities, primarily due to hydrogen peroxide and an antibacterial property called the Unique Manuka Factor or UMF.

Manuka Honey has become known as an excellent source for treating infected wounds. It has also been found to be effective in destroying MRSA and healing staph infections. This has been of significant interest among the medical community since antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria have been found in hospitals and schools, nation-wide. Manuka Honey seems to be successful in destroying bacteria because of its ability to draw water out of the bacteria by osmosis. Bacteria requires water to survive. Manuka Honey has also been known to provide a protective barrier around wounds, therefore preventing infection.

"Manuka Honey creates a moist healing environment that allows skin cells to regrow across a healing wound, flush with the surface of the wound. This prevents scarring and deformity of the skin," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "If a dry scab forms on a wound, the skin cells can only grow across the wound deeper down where it is moist. Manuka Honey causes scabs and dead cells to lift off the surface of the wound, leaving a clean and healthy wound bed in which regrowth of tissue can occur."

Manuka Honey stimulates the regrowth of tissue involved in the healing process. It stimulates the formation of new blood capillaries and the growth of fibroblasts that replace the connective tissue of the deeper layer of the skin and produces the collagen fibers that give strength to the repair. In addition, Manuka Honey stimulates the growth of epithelial cells that form the new skin cover over a healed wound. As a result, Manuka Honey prevents scarring and keloid formation and eliminates the need for skin grafting, even with more serious wounds.

All of these factors have lead to the notion that Manuka Honey is a valuable resource for treating wounds. Buonanotte feels that the antibacterial potency of Manuka Honey is well in excess of that needed to stop the growth of MRSA and VRE. Studies have also shown the Manuka Honey has been effective in killing E. coli. Honeymark's wound care product is their "First Aid Antiseptic Lotion" which is available on their website (www.HoneymarkProducts.com) and will be in retail locations by mid-2008.
