Jarrah Honey vs Manuka — The Powerful Alternative

Jarrah Honey vs Manuka — The Powerful Alternative

When people think of medicinal honey, Manuka often comes to mind. But there’s another natural wonder - Jarrah honey - that’s quickly gaining recognition as Australia’s best-kept secret.

Science Behind the Strength

Both Jarrah and Manuka honeys are known for their strong antibacterial properties - but they work differently.

1.  Manuka honey contains methylglyoxal (MGO) which gives it its antibacterial activity.

2.  Jarrah honey, on the other hand, contains natural hydrogen peroxide that continually releases gentle antibacterial power over time.

Scientific studies have shown that high-TA Jarrah honey (TA 40+ or 50+) can outperform many Manuka varieties in antibacterial effectiveness. Plus, Jarrah honey has lower glucose levels, meaning it crystallises very slowly and stays smooth and liquid for years.

The Health Benefits

Jarrah honey is more than just sweet — it’s therapeutic.
It helps:

(i)  Soothe sore throats and coughs

(ii)  Aid digestion and gut health

(iii)  Promote healthy skin and tissue repair

(iv)  Support natural immunity
