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.
