A miracle in my life! I tried this out of desperation, and it really does work. Over 20% of Americans suffer from Stomach problems and Doctors truly cannot help. They will give you tests, limited diets, medicines and generally albeit Innocently...they do not help. This is not weird Health food, it truly works. Plus it is good. Over the years...I have had chronic gastritis or IBS and or maybe an ulcer. Knowing that Medical intervention is limited at best, I sought alternative means of helping myself. Read up for yourself and you will understand how incredibly simple and logical this is. Plus it is delicious. I take a couple lg teaspoons /day, am careful about what I eat and have experienced an amazing recovery. Try it yourself, you can't loose.

We have spent a number of weeks in NZ over the past 5 years and discovered this honey - as well as hiking through Manuka bush country. There is something to this "active" honey that my wife swears helps her allergies. On top of that I swear by it because it is so darn good on toast. It is win-win!!

This honey is delicious in tea, although I've found that I have to use quite a bit to get it sweet enough. I have some acne scars on my face, and redness. I've put some of this honey (mixed w/ a little tea tree essential oil)on that area of my face and I've noticed a difference in the redness and the scars seem to be fading a bit. Pretty good stuff. Also try Garden of Life Lehua Honey which I have found to have some healing properties as well (plus I think it tasted better...)

This honey doesn't have a UMF rating for some reason. New Zealand is strict about how manuka honey is labeled, and Comvita sells other honeys that do have a UMF rating, so I'm uncertain why this one is labeled "certified" and "active" without having an actual UMF number or certification anywhere on it. That being said, this is probably the best testing honey I've ever tasted. I love to spread it on toast, as several others here have mentioned, or mix it into hot tea (PG Tips, of course). I'm not sure if this has helped with my mild GERD, but some of the GERD issues I have seem lessened since I started regularly consuming this honey. I also tried it as a mask for my face and I didn't notice any particular improvement, but maybe my skin was in better shape than I realized. YMMV, of course. Regardless of its purported magical properties, the taste is incredibly delicious and this could be a staple in many pantries. My husband at first said it tasted "mediciny" to him, but later grew to love it it. To me it tastes like a spoonful of heaven.

My oldest daughter is very into natural healing and products. She suggested Manuka honey. It has a very good taste and can be used externally as well. My youngest daughter had a place on her arm we applied the honey, the next day it was completely gone. We also did this on a cat, who was having skin problems.This is an excellant product!!

Just bought it. I have stomach problems and I use it when I start to feel pain. It takes it away. I do not eat it all the time as it is very sweet and have not adjusted to that yet.

I have ordered Comvita honey for about two years and have always been satisfied with the product. Recently, I ordered this product and was sent a different brand which did not hold up to shipping. Twice I had to re-order and twice the package came not properly insulated/wrapped. I had a leaky mess both times as the caps had popped off the jars during the mailing process and the honey was spilling all over the leaking package. If this product (Comvita Brand) is no longer available then it should not be on the website, and if this other product is a substitute, then it should be properly wrapped for shipping. I do want to say though that each time I called, the customer service reps were very kind and helpful and tried to handle the problem immediately without any hesitation. It is one of the many reasons why I continue to do business with Amazon.

I have read the praises of Manuka honey for a while, and decided to get it when I found it on Amazon. The honey is wonderful in tea, and spread on toast, YUM!!

This honey has a very nice taste. It arrived in a somewhat crystallized state (more like spreadable honey paste), probably because the weather here is quite cold. I'm sure it will liquify if I put the jar in warm water. It's great just the way it is. Not sure if it has any of the health benefits Manuka is known for but I would buy this honey again.

I have been using this on some recent surgical incisions & also some scars that are more than 2 years old. The honey seems to be helping. Also a friend had an ulcer on her lower leg & she is also impressed with the healing. We have been using this several weeks. It's not an overnight cure, but there is definite improvement.
