“Also, authentic Manuka such as Med-Honey (for topical use) is priced at more like $7.50 per half ounce.”
What topical use besides open wounds? You are being scammed by Maunka. Anyways use H2O2 on cuts and wounds. Long term wounds? Use H2O2 many times a day. I bought 32oz H2O2 at Wally Mart three weeks ago for 99¢. Used eyedropper to pour into both ears. H2O2 dissolved all the wax. My hearing improved 7x better
I need to correct that spelling to Medihoney, which is actually a blend of different leptospermum honeys and is considered Manuka (although not with a real high MGO content). The hydrogen peroxide content in honey is an important component for wound care.
