Wound Healer - an ancient remedy!

All honey has an antibacterial activity due primarily to hydrogen peroxide formed in a "slow release" manner by the enzyme glucose oxidase which prevents bacterial growth and reduces infection: "applied every 2 to 3 days under a dry dressing, honey promotes healing of ulcers and burns better than any other local application."

Honey supplies nutrients necessary for healthy tissue regeneration and stimulates the growth of new blood capillaries.

Honey draws lymph out to the cells while absorbing moisture and providing an anti-inflammatory action.

Honey creates a moist healing barrier between wound and dressing with no sticking and no tissue damage -- scarring is reduced because skin cells grow without forming a scab.
