                                Research confirms raw Manuka honey contains a unique, potent compound called methylglyoxal (MGO) that gives it strong antibacterial properties. Unlike its processed counterparts, this golden elixir from New Zealand and Australia is a prized natural remedy for many reasons, from soothing a sore throat to healing a wound.
