Manuka honey is produced by bees that are associated with the flowers of the Manuka plant (Leptospermum scoparium) that grows in New Zealand. Manuka honey is different from other honeys because it has been shown to the more potent due to its higher methylglyoxal concentration.
Manuka honey has been used for its anti-oxidant, anti-bacteral and anti-inflammatory properties. It has been shown to be useful in healing eczematous skin lesions. This study will attempt to demonstrate topical anti-allergy use for ocular allergy.
