Health Benefit Of Honey #8: Heals Wounds
Honey has antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidants which make this substance good for treating wounds. Strong evidence in many research studies has shown that honey has helped wound healing.
In one study, fifty-nine patients with ulcers and wounds had failed to heal with conventional treatment. Fifty-eight cases were treated with raw honey and showed significant improvement after the application of the honey 11https://www.hindawi.com/journals/tswj/2011/526901/abs/. The wounds that were infected became sterile after one week of the topically applied honey.
In the United Kingdom, the Royal Surrey County Hospital has been using Manuka honey-impregnated dressings in their wound care clinic for over a year 12https://www.bjoms.com/article/S0266-4356(06)00186-0/abstract. Manuka honey is made with pollen gathered from the flowers of the Manuka bush. Clinical trials were seen to help treat bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus.
