Common Remedies

What the Research Says

Honey has been used medicinally for thousands of years. Modern science has now validated what traditional healers already knew — and the mechanisms are sophisticated.

 -Honey's multifaceted antimicrobial activity — including hydrogen peroxide generation, low water activity, and bee defensin-1 peptides — that collectively prevent microbial growth on wounds and skin. (Mandal & Mandal, Asian Pac J Trop Biomed, 2011)

  • Clinical evidence supporting honey as a wound dressing, citing its ability to create a moist healing environment, debride necrotic tissue, and reduce odor and infection simultaneously. (Molan, Int J Low Extrem Wounds, 2006)
  • A prospective, randomized controlled trial comparing Manuka honey to hydrogel dressing found Manuka honey superior for wound debridement and equally effective for healing outcomes in venous leg ulcers. (Gethin & Cowman, J Clin Nurs, 2009)
