Honey...think cold and/or sore throat..honey and lemon brew...ummmm good.

You're right - this is a really old treatment.

My FIL introduced me to Tasmanian Leatherwood honey. Strong and earthy. I always have some on-hand.

Love honey. But it has too much sugar. Better to use topically.

Yeah, but it has to be real honey, not every kind you can get in the grocery store is going to work.

For what ever reason the mosquitoes and deer flies really go after my wife in the back yard, to the point that she develops painfull welps from the bites.

OTC crap never helps so I dabbed a little honey on the bites last time and she said the pain and itching disappeared immediately.

God knows what he’s doing......always.

+1. This is hardly news. Even I have used honey on scrapes and scratches from yard work, etc. Cave men were been doing it... Forever.

Putting peroxide on a wound often kills the good skin cells that are trying to grow back, but using honey works differently as there is a slow but steady release of peroxide so it’s not as hard on skin cells. When tiny amounts of water in your skin around the wound come in contact with the honey it produces small amounts of peroxide. Honey will also help minimize any scar that forms.

Honey has sweet potential for wound healing, scientists claim (Manuka is best)Just ask Henry V, in 1403 then he was a 16-year-old Prince of Wales, with an arrow in his face.
Over a period of several days, John Bradmore, the royal physician, treated the wound with honey to act as an antiseptic, crafted a tool to screw into the embedded arrowhead (bodkin point) and thus extract it without doing further damage, and flushed the wound with alcohol. The operation was successful, but it left Henry with permanent scars, evidence of his experience in battle.

They have been slapping honey on wounds for more than 1,000 years.

The Honey produces Peroxide when put on a wound. I prefer getting the job done...and getting the cr** out of the wound. Everyone to their own.

Actually every kind you get works. Some of it works better then others but they all work.

For people with a weakened (or in the case of babies not yet fully formed) immune system, sugar packs also work.

Local honey is best. Never goes bad.

I have started buying locally produced raw honey. I had some store-bought stuff on hand, and the flavor difference between the two was startling. The raw stuff was so much better, and it was the flavor I remember from my youth when you could get pieces of actual honeycombs.

I recently had a small puncture wound on my thumb. I cleaned it out as best as I could, but it still got infected. I tried putting honey on it, and the infection disappeared in less than 24 hours.
