Australian Active
Tea Tree or Jellybush (Leptospermum polygalifolium) is a small tree
that produces honey with exceptionally high levels of phytoactivity.
Like Manuka its New Zealand
relative, it’s activity varies with the areas in which it grows. The
strongest and most potent activity is found in north eastern New
South Wales, where the Medicinal Honey Company is
situated.
Our honey is cold extracted and processed
differently to other honeys ensuring that its unique phytoactivity
and special enzymes are preserved. This unique phytoactivity is only
found in a very few honeys such as New Zealand’s Manuka and
Australia's Golden Tea Tree Honey.
It has been proven to be
very stable and reliable in its ability to inhibit the growth of
many micro-organisms, due to the effect of the Unique Phytoactivity
and the hydrogen peroxide releasing
enzymes. |
