We are pleased to let you know of two new products now offered to you, - the Medihoney Moisturising Cream, and Living Nature Rescue Gel.
Medihoney™ Mositurising Cream is an intensive dermatological moisturising cream, containing Active Manuka Honey, Aloe Vera and Chamomile. It is suitable for people prone to eczema, psoriasis, dermatitus and dry skin.
Whereas the ManukaCare 18+ gives you the full benefit of pure UMF® Manuka Honey, it will leave a sticky layer of honey that is not practical for all situations. This Medihoney cream is more of a cream that can be absorbed into the skin without leaving that sticky layer. Although it does contain less of the manuka honey. We carry the 50g tube size.
The Medihoney brand is now owned by Comvita, and nicely compliments their full range of products.
The Living Nature Rescue Gel is to help you with trouble spots. Giving you a soothing gel for blemish-prone skin, and making use of the healing properties of manuka oil and honey. This product is Living Nature's new formula to improve on and replace the highly popular Manuka Oil and Honey Antiseptic Gel (which is no longer available).
Both these new items are now in stock and available in store and online.

New Study Shows Manuka Honey Dressings Decrease Wound Size and pH
A new study, with results recently published in the International Wound Journal (Volume 5 Issue 2 Page 185-194, May 2008) has shown the benefits of manuka honey dressings in reducing wound pH levels and wound size.
The study's aim was to analyse any changes in surface pH levels, and size, of ulcers that were not healing after applying dressings of Manuka honey for 2 weeks.
To quote: "The use of Manuka honey dressings was associated with a statistically significant decrease in wound pH and a reduction in wound size."
It was known that non-healing wounds have a higher alkaline environment, and that the acidic pH nature of manuka honey made it a potentially beneficial treatment for lowering wound pH, which the study's results confirm.
Comvita's Apinate manuka honey dressings were used in this study.
An abstract of the study results can be found here.

More Tui Massage Wax products added
We are pleased to have extended the range of Tui massage waxes that we can offer you, with the addition of two more fragrances.
Orange Spice is a citrusy and fun filled Massage Wax, particularly popular in winter, possibly due to the orange fragrance evoking thoughts of mulled wine.
It is gently warming as well as sedative. The essential oils are both antispasmodic and antidepressant.
Both Orange and Grapefruit are good for fluid retention and cellulite work, Grapefruit in particular being a diuretic, detoxifier and stimulant of the lymphatic system. It is also good for oily skins and acne.
Popular for both men and woman.
Wild Rose Massage Wax is not actually a blend, but only has the essential oil Rosa damascena added to the standard ingredients. The smell of rose is one of the freshest and most well known of the essential oils. It was probably the first flower from which essential oil was ever distilled and can be traced back to 10th Century Persia.
You will now find both these options available on The New Zealand Honey Shop website together with the rest of the Tui massage wax and balms range.
