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.
I had what I believed was mrsa. I used several at home remedies and managed to cure it. Was black and spreading. Epson salt and water. Antibiotic ointment. Tea tree oil.
One of my cats was rattlesnake bit last summer. Gave her industrial strength oral antibiotics and a penicillin injection.
By the time the necrotic tissue fell away, she had a hole 5” across and 3/4” deep. I dressed it with manuka honey. Within 48 hours all new very clean and healthy tissue was rebuilt. My vet and I were shocked.
Only the skin had to be pulled together. It took 22 staples and the vet said that it was the cleanest wound she had ever seen.
