Wound Treatment Honey and Wound Care

"Honey gives good results on a very wide range of types of wounds. However there are some types of wounds which are problematic for wound care, most of which, honey has particularly useful role in the treatment.

"Infected wounds - Honey is very effective in rapidly cleaning up infected purulent wounds, with sloughs, necrotic and gangrenous tissue separating easily from the wound bed to leave a healthy surface.

"Persistent wounds - Honey is effective in starting the healing process in non-healing wounds such as leg ulcers and decubitus ulcers (pressure sores, bed sores). There have been several reports of honey being effective on infected wounds not responding to conventional therapy with antibiotics and antiseptics, some of which had been treated for up to 2 years. The starting of the healing process may be due in part to clearing up infection or heavy colonisation that had been inhibiting regeneration of tissue in the wound, but it may also involve some of the stimulatory effects that honey has on cell growth.

"Burns - Honey gives an early subsidence of acute inflammatory changes and quicker wound healing, better relief of pain, less irritation of the wound than other treatments, and a lower incidence of hypertrophic scar (keloids) and contracture. It also gives a better control of infection than other dressings. This prevents superficial wounds converting to deep wounds which require skin grafts. Dressing superficial burns with honey promotes repair of tissue, with early regrowth of skin. There is reduction in oedema, exudation and pain when honey is used on burns, and no pain when dressings are changed as there is no difficulty removing dressings."
