Effective Staph Infection Treatment

Since antibiotics have proven to be virtually useless when treating Staph infections, doctors turn to a special type of honey that contains extremely powerful antibacterial properties.

People all over the world are being faced with the horrifying news from their doctors that they have contracted a Staph infection. What is a Staph infection? These hard-to-heal infections are caused by a mutated form of bacteria (MRSA) that has developed a resistance to antibiotics and other traditional forms of medicine. MRSA Staph infections can be fatal once entered into the blood. Therefore, immediate attention is required.

Staph infection symptoms can be identified by pain and swelling around a wound, pimple-like boils on the skin, blistering and peeling skin. Treatment for Staph infections doesn't have to be a mystery, just because antibiotics don't work. Studies now show that active Manuka Honey can rapidly clear a Staph infection more efficiently than medicine. To treat a Staph infection, just apply a small amount of Manuka Honey directly to the effected area. Since Manuka Honey has an osmotic effect, it immediately begins to draw moisture out of the bacterial cells, making it impossible for the bacteria to survive.

It is important to know that standard honey that can be purchased at supermarkets does not have the antibacterial properties capable of healing a Staph infection. Only Active Manuka Honey is suitable for medical use. If the thought of applying honey directly to your skin is undesirable, consider using Honeymark's First Aid Antiseptic Lotion which contains Active Manuka Honey. This product eliminates the sticky mess of using honey on your skin while providing all the same health benefits of Manuka Honey.

"When considering how to treat a Staph infection, the first step is to destroy the bacteria that causes it," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "Bacteria cannot survive within the healing environment created by Manuka Honey which is why it is such an effective ingredient in wound dressings."

The days of honey being considered merely a food item may be over. With reports of its effectiveness in treating infected wounds and a variety of other skin conditions, Manuka Honey's notoriety as a healing agent is increasing to an all-time high. Honeymark is also developing Manuka Honey products to prevent Staph infections. The company reports that those products should be made available to consumers later this year.
