Manuka honey (also known as leptospermum scoparium honey), which is used medically, is referred to as "medihoney" in this phrase. Manuka honey's therapeutic uses were first identified in Australia and New Zealand, where bees have long pollinated the local manuka shrub. Methylglyoxal, which is believed by research to be the basis for manuka honey's antibacterial effects, is present in the substance. Manuka honey is an essential element in the natural healing of wounds because of its antibacterial qualities.
