Manuka honey is known for its exceptional antibacterial properties, according to Professor Peter Molan from the University of Waikato’s Honey Research Unit. The honey is from bees from New Zealand that feed on the flowers of manuka trees. The manuka tree is also called the tea tree, but manuka honey is not related to tea tree oil, which also has antibacterial qualities. Tea tree oil is made from another New Zealand tree, called the melaleuca. Manuka honey is anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial. It is healing for skin irritations, rashes, wounds, and it tastes great too.

Vinegar is made from the oxidation of ethanol by acetic acid bacteria. Different kinds of ethanol–from wine, fruit juices, beer, rice, coconut or cider–produce different kinds of vinegar. People have been using vinegar for thousands of years, dating to 3000 B.C. Although some people believe vinegar can treat infections and persistent cough, it is not effective against infections or fungus, according to the “British Journal of Dermatology.” Yet vinegar has many other health benefits and is an excellent addition to every health-conscious person’s diet.
