No, but i don't like honey and i'm not a big fan of complimentary medicine. But some people like both. Manuka honey is believed to be pretty powerful stuff.

Apparently Preperation H is good for eye bags and wrinkles
Is that Manuka stuff not for crumpets then?

This was in with all the other honey and jams
340g of manuka honey?
Price is neither a bargain nor a rip off really. I guess that OU is comparing it to the runny honey of his youth? Like choosing between Canadian Maple syrup and golden syrup and expecting the same price?
I doubt it was the only honey on the shelf so there is no real problem here is there?

So many particulars. So many questions.

There are no bees on Mars - so if I were on Mars and homesick for Earth I might spend that much if I couldn't find cheaper.

How do you know there are no bees on Mars?

No. You can get it for a tenner though, although I've no idea what different there is, if any, between that and a £30 version. A colleague had some at work and showed me the jar - the consistency was like really thick molasses.

Convinced by the benefits of this manuka honey, someone friendofdorothy works with bought her a jar of this when madam'd had a second chest infection within six months. It tasted lovely (especially when added to a Moroccan tagine thing I was cooking, oops! but if you will leave it lying around in the kitchen...) and madam hasn't had another chest infection since. Hardly definitive proof of a superfood but at least it tastes nice.

I presume we have to pay for it to be air-freighted over here. First class judging by the price!

I bought a jar of Manuka honey a while ago. It was $40. I thought I'd try it once. I didn't really like it.
So no, I wouldn't pay 32 pounds for a jar of Manuka honey.

As for medicinal properties, I tried rubbing a bit on a burn on my finger. The whole area got really red and swollen wherever I applied the honey.

You want lavender essential oil for minor burns. Works absolute wonders - I always have a bottle in the kitchen as I'm partial to inadvertently trying to barbecue my hands. And it smells nice.

What I do with burns is run them under the cold water tap, then leave them alone. Works wonders.

I find lavender helps reduce the swelling and pain fairly quickly. Only on very minor burns though where you just singe yourself lightly.

Eat it, though I have been instructed by a vet to smear it on a pet rat when he had a tumour on his footSo what is one supposed to do with it... Smear it on cuts?
..... And attract ants
You can imagine how well that worked.
