Heal Burns and Wounds
Topical honey treatments have been long used to heal burns and wounds since ancient Egypt. These days, these are still common methods. Many studies have shown that this ingredient is most effective at relieving partially thick wounds and burns which get infected after surgery. Also, it is a powerful solution to diabetic foot ulcers, a serious complication which could result in amputation. Researchers believe that these healing powers come from the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects in honey, as well as its capability to nourish surrounding tissues. In addition, it could help cure other skin diseases, such as herpes lesions and psoriasis. Avoid giving honey to young infants because it could lead to botulism, which is a rare yet serious kind of food poisoning. [3]
