Why you should treat your wound with medical honey

Medical honey is naturally antibacterial, used to enhance the wound healing process, prevent infections and reducing the risk of scarring.

What is medical honey?

Medical grade honey is a specialized type of honey used for wound healing. It is carefully processed and sterilized to guarantee its quality, safety and efficacy for medicinal use, and free from pollutants and toxic substances.

Medical honey is used to promote wound healing, prevent infections, and reduce the risk of scar formation. It has naturally antibacterial properties and is effective in treating various types of wounds, from minor cuts to large infected wounds, diabetic wounds as well as 1st and 2nd degree burns.

 

The history of medical honey

Honey has a long history of medicinal use spanning thousands of years.The use of honey for medicinal purposes has been observed in various cultures, including ancient Greeks, Romans, and regions such as the Middle East, India, and China. Even Hippocrates, widely regarded as the “Father of Medicine,” extensively discussed the healing properties of honey and its applications in medical treatments.

While the use of honey declined with the advent of antibiotics, it has regained attention due to antibiotic resistance. Medical grade honey is a valuable option for challenging wounds, including antibiotic-resistant infections, with proven efficacy in wound healing and infection management.

The Natural Healing products

The Natural Healing products contain medical honey. They promote and stimulate wound healing, prevent infections and reduce the risk of scar formation.

Medical honey has strong wound healing properties, it is an organic antibact used to enhance the wound healing process.

Natural Healing Gel

The wound gel contains medical grade honey and vitamins C and E. It has a clinically proven effect on wound healing, is easy to apply and gentle on the skin. The tube contains 15 g.

Vitamin C and vitamin E are both antioxidants that can support a better healing environment:

    • Vitamin C benefits: it is essential for collagen synthesis, a protein that plays a crucial role in wound healing and tissue repair. Collagen provides structure and strength to the skin and helps in the formation of new tissue, supporting the healing process.
    • Vitamin E benefits: it has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce inflammation in the skin. Inflammation can delay wound healing, so the anti-inflammatory effects of vitamin E can contribute to a faster healing process.

How medical honey works

Medical honey is naturally antibacterial and used to promote wound healing. Its wound healing properties are based on two main pillars: its pro-healing properties, which promote wound healing, and its antimicrobial activity, which effectively resolves and prevents infections.

 

Medical honey’s pro-healing properties

  • It creates a moist wound environment, which is crucial for wound healing. The moisture helps prevent the wound from drying out, allowing cells to migrate and divide more effectively.
  • It can assist in the removal of dead or damaged tissue from the wound, promoting the growth of healthy tissue.
  • It provides essential nutrients to the wound site, supporting the healing process.
  • It can stimulate the formation of new blood vessels which enhances blood supply, delivering oxygen and nutrients necessary for healing.
  • It has anti-inflammatory effects; can help reduce swelling, pain, and redness at the wound site which supports the healing process.

 

Medical honey’s antimicrobial activity

  • Honey is composed of over 200 different components, with sugars being the predominant ones. Sugar’s osmotic activity dehydrates bacteria by drawing water from their surroundings, damaging their cells since microorganisms also require water to survive.
  • Honey also contains glucose oxidase, which generates small amounts of hydrogen peroxide, further contributing to its bactericidal effect.
  • Additionally, honey possesses antimicrobial phytochemicals and a low pH that creates an unfavorable environment for microorganisms.
