THE ULTIMATE
RAW MĀNUKA HONEY WELLNESS GUIDE
Holistic and Functional Physician
Dr. Maggie Yu, MD
Dr. Yu’s philosophy towards patient care is the same philosophy she chooses for her own health.
“I believe in educating myself and my patients on many options for their health.
I love the benefits of holistic health options and balance that with the latest in medical treatment.
When you know the options, you can pick and choose to individualize and optimize your healthcare. I believe in finding root causes and treating the process that causes the problem so we don’t have to band-aid all the end results instead.”
Auto Immune Disease Specialist
NATURAL HEALTH ADVOCATE
Dr. Maggie specialises in auto-immune diseases. These are serious conditions that can affect people in various ways, internally and externally, physically and mentally. As part of her program for disease management and recovery, Dr. Maggie recommends Manuka Honey because of its healing properties.
Her philosophy stems around a whole food diet with no additives, preservatives or refined sugar, as these can be extremely inflammatory on the bodies systems and can impair healing.
Side effects of some auto-immune diseases can include skin infections, eczema, psoriasis, gum disease, digestive issues, stomach ulcers and a weak immune system among others, and Maggie believes that Manuka Honey plays a huge part in relieving symptoms and supporting the bodies immune system to repair and recover.

THE BENEFITS OF RAW MĀNUKA
The ornate Manuka flower is a fickle beauty, only appearing for a short period of time during the summer months, and only if conditions are suitable. It blossoms on the Leptospermum Scoparium tree, which is indigenous to New Zealand. Highly prized because of its long lasting antibacterial, anti-fungal and natural healing properties, Manuka is proven to help accelerate wound healing, and is approved under the strict standards of the Food & Drug Association for this purpose.
Treasured and respected in New Zealand, and in homes worldwide for use as a natural wellness booster, on a number of skin conditions and for faster healing of scratches and grazes.
Used in smoothies, on cereal, on toast or in tea, the immune boosting properties of Manuka are beneficial to anyone as an everyday supplement, with higher strengths eaten by the spoonful, or applied directly to the skin for a more targeted health and healing boost.

The Steens Difference
Raw Taste, Grainy Texture, Rich Flavour
I believe all sugar should be replaced with unrefined sweeteners, and the amazing thing about Manuka is its natural antibacterial, antifungal and propbiotic properties which speed up the wound healing process.
Steens don’t process their honey, and they don’t heat treat it. Combined with the lack of fine filtering, this means what you’re getting in your jar of Steens honey is as close to what comes from the beehive as it possibly can be, meaning that you’re getting all the naturally occurring properties like beebread, wax particles, bio-availble pollen and nectar, and that’s what gives it such a unique flavour and texture.
Steens honey is unique to other Manuka honeys because it contains the highest levels of a substance called bee bread. You may have already heard about bee pollen and how nutritious it is. Bee Bread is among one of the oldest dietary supplements known to man, and is widely recognised as a nourishing and complete natural food.

WHICH HONEY IS BEST FOR ME?
THE STEENS® COLLECTIONS
Steens makes it really simple to replace your refined sugar with naturally beneficial raw honey by shopping from the Steens® Table Collection taking Manuka as a daily immunity boosting supplement with their Steens® Ritual Collection and find the targeted support you need for digestive issues, skin support and sinus support by choosing from their Steens® Care Collection of ultra high strength Manuka.
I always recommend that people have a jar from each range in their house at any one time, so they have Manuka on hand for all occasions. The Care Collection can be kept for when it’s really needed for digestive issues, skin or oral support, the Ritual Collection is used each day for building immunity, and is perfect as part of my daily water challenge, and the Table Collection is amazing as a refined sugar alternative in baking and cooking with whole foods and fresh ingredients for natural health and wellness.
