Am I seeing the price of this right?
Nigh on £30 for a jar?
WTF.
I assume if I have been told to use this then I should?
(it's for my cat - feel free to move mod's - there is just more traffic here)

Wowser - why is it so much more expensive everywhere else???
I am nowhere near an Aldi and I need it ASAP.
Is it to put on a wound?
There are different qualities of manuka honey. The good stuff has amazing anti bacterial qualities. Apply it to infected woulds and it works wonders.
Tesco and Asda sell Rowse Manuka Honey, but it costs more than the Aldi version. It sells for £9.99/250g jar (10+ rating). MH costs even more in Holland and Barrett.
You guys beat me to it
Only place I can get to is a Holland & Barrett so I'll speak to someone there.
Cheers guys. Just checking that I wasn't getting ripped off
Who recommended it what kind of wound? Hibiscrub is my go to wound cleaner or colloidal silver
Vet told me to use it
As above - vet said to use it.
It's a leg wound that hasn't healed (entry wound from a drain that had to be fitted) other two wounds have healed - actual cut and exit wound from said drain
The cheaper stuff ( +10) will work fine
I just hate people getting ripped off
It's from the Daily Mail, granted, but:
Ken Allen, managing director of a firm which makes wound dressings impregnated with manuka honey for the NHS, says: 'We use the same honey you get in the supermarket, but we then sterilise and purify it because we are held to much stricter standards.'
He says neither UMF nor MGO is ideal, but believes the rest of us don't need to worry about how potent the honey is: 'It doesn't have to have a high rating. Even one as low as UMF 10 can heal leg ulcers.'
Last time I bought some here was in Holland & Barrett, expensive yes, but I have never tasted honey like it.
I saw this too. Since there's no way to tell the difference until AFTER you've eaten it, then no one with any sense would pay a lot of money for it until they can be assured it's the real thing.
Two brands I know of that can be trusted are 'Comvita' and 'HNZ'..
It's worth checking different online websites for a bargain ~ last year on one 'site I was able to get 3 x 500gm jars of 'HNZ' with a 10+ UMF rating for around £45 ( just checked and that site are asking for £60+ for those 3 jars today..:o )
Not a patch on manuka honey, my wife was prescribed it in hospital for a massive foot infection - the silver seemed pretty useless.
Because of this property, pure honey keeps indefinitely because no bacteria or mould can survive in contact with it.
If it has this symbol ~ UMF® ~ on the front label of the jar,the ® symbol is important,it is very likely authentic medical Manuka honey.
I need to start today as cat is back at vets in 6 days so I need her wound to heal.
I hope it does the job.
