Effective use of honey is a topical application for wound healing, burns and skin ulcers, helping reduce inflammation, stomach ulcers, swelling and pain.
This wound-healing activity of manuka honey is probably due entirely to its anti-microbial activity. Proper healing of a wound without leaving scars requires a moist environment, which is a challenge because moisture promotes microbial growth. Application of dehydrating agents such as alcohols can be effective at killing bacteria, but alcohols also delay healing and promote scarring of the skin. Active manuka honey will prevent microbial growth while retaining the moisture necessary for proper healing.
