Preferred Label : Manuka Honey Breast Pads;
NCIt synonyms : Breast Pads with Manuka Honey; Manuka Honey-containing Breast Pads;
NCIt definition : Breast pads containing Manuka honey, with potential healing, wound repair, antibacterial,
anti-inflammatory and protective activities. Compared to other honey products, Manuka
honey contains a high concentration of the 1,2-dicarbonyl compound methylglyoxal (MG),
which may account for its antibacterial activity. Upon application of the Manuka honey
breast pads to the nipples, the honey may decrease nipple sensitivity, such as radiation-induced
nipple sensitivity. It may also decrease itching and pain, prevent inflammation and
infection, and promote wound healing. The Manuka honey is produced by bees fed on
the flowers of the New Zealand bush Leptospermum scoparium (Manuka, Manuka myrtle,
New Zealand teatree).;
