The Natural Healing Power of Manuka Honey
Manuka honey has long been celebrated for its unique properties: a treasure-trove of wellness that is the cornerstone of many natural remedies. It nourishes and protects the skin, helps support a healthy gut, soothes sore throats during cold and flu season, and plays a part in oral care and hygiene.
From Personal Discovery to Australian Manuka Honey Pioneers
When we first encountered the benefits of Manuka honey, it was a revelation that would change our lives. Laura’s struggle with persistent knee and joint pain led to our discovery. It had bothered her for months; she tried physiotherapy, as well as anti-inflammatories, until one day a naturopath suggested she try Manuka honey. Its soothing qualities brought her a comfort that was as unexpected as it was profound. A few months later, when James was struggling with bloating, he began to take a spoonful a day and it helped settle his gut. These experiences sparked our journey into exploring, understanding, and ultimately sharing the power of Manuka Honey with others.
Our research led us to a surprising fact: while Manuka Honey is often associated with New Zealand, our native Australia actually boasts a much more extensive variety of the Leptospermum flowers that are the source of Manuka—83 in total.
Sourcing the Purest Australian Manuka Honey
With this knowledge in hand, we set out to create a range of Manuka honey that celebrated the unique biodiversity of the place we call home. We wanted to source the purest, most authentic product—a honey that would not just be effective as a natural wellness supplement but would also be truly delightful to the taste, making the most of the broader variety of flowers native to Australia to create a delicious, more complex flavour that didn’t have the slightly medicinal aftertaste that can be found in many Manuka brands, particularly at higher strengths.The Hill Hive Difference
We also made the decision to choose a product that comes in liquid form over the more common creamed versions. This decision was deliberate. The liquid form not only makes it more versatile for adding to drinks, smoothies, and for topical application but also allows for a very gentle extraction process. This ensures that all the natural goodness—every enzyme, nutrient, and compound—is retained, just as nature intended.
As we launch Hill Hive, our excitement is palpable. We are not just sharing a product; we are inviting you to experience a piece of Australian heritage, to taste the richness of its unique and biodiverse landscapes, and to feel the natural benefits that only true Australian Manuka honey can offer. Hill Hive is our dream realised—a dream of wellness, purity, and a deep connection to nature.
Join us in this Australian Manuka revolution, where every jar tells a story of nature’s splendour, and every spoonful is a step towards a more vibrant you.
