HONEY WE SHRUNK THE WOUND AND OR BURN USING MEDICAL HONEY FOR HEALING IM NOT KIDDING

HONEY WE SHRUNK THE BURN AND OR WOUND HEALING BURNS AND WOUNDS WITH HONEY IM NOT KIDDING

Is this guy a doctor or a witch doctor? I had to admit I was taken aback when I saw a wound care doctor apply a tube of a wound care cream called MediHoney to a family member's bed sore. I have been roaming the halls of medicine for years but I never heard of using honey to heal burns and wounds. I guess I should read more because it seems that honey containing medicine is being applied to burns and wounds with success and that the roots of this practice trace back to the Egyptians.

In talking with two wound care nurses they told me that they had seen some excellent results of treatment with honey "For centuries now honey has been used as an effective remedy for wounds, burns and ulcers. In recent years there has been renewed interest in the medicinal properties of honey. Much of this research is being carried out by a team of people working at the Waikato Honey Research Unit, New Zealand".

    There is a medical honey available for wounds and burns. Honey is different from the medical honey that is available through doctors and wound care specialists. Honey may also help disinfect the wound due to a chemical interaction between a specific enzyme in honey and damaged skin tissue that produces a form of hydrogen peroxide. In addition, honey has been shown to reduce inflammation and swelling. In March 2007, the Food and Drug Administration approved a honey-impregnated wound-dressing product for wound and burn care.

    "It's important to note that the specialized honey used in wound products and in research studies is different from honey available to consumers. Also, the honey used in research studies has been treated to remove contaminants. It's not clear at this time whether ordinary supermarket honey has the same wound-healing effect".
