"Learn how this everyday wonder outperformed silver sulphadiazine in clinical trials—and healed a ripped lip on a pregnant mare."

¬ Only use natural honey from a beekeeper *

My uncle is a horse breeder. His Arab mare was with foal about 10 years ago so his vet couldn't give her anything when she ripped her lip open on a fence. Not even pain relief!

I gave him a bottle of my honey and he put it on twice a day... within a week it had sealed the split lip and 2 weeks later the only thing left was a fine white line of the scar...😍

I know this story is not about burns but pretty much the findings on burns generally apply for wounds too!

**Natural honey* is a very effective healing salve.**

It protects the wound from harmful bacteria/viral/fungal infections while allowing it to breath. {It's hydroscopic!}
It works well in seeping wounds and where other treatments are difficult to administer.
It provides cellular level regeneration and encourages cells to regrow.
It has hydrogen peroxide that keeps the wound sterile.

It's nature wonder juice!

Let's get into more detail for Burn Wounds:

🧠 Israel Burn Hospital uses honey as a first and primary wound treatment and has done so for decades.

Why it matters:
Prospective randomized controlled clinical trials have proved that honey treatment leads to significantly more rapid healing of superficial and partial-thickness burns than that achieved with silver sulphadiazine, polyurethane film, amniotic membrane, and potato peel. [2,11-20 Source in the image below.]

However, in full-thickness burns, early tangential excision and skin grafting were found to be superior to honey dressing.

Good burn wound treatment means:

In superficial and partial-thickness burns, honey treatment of burns has resulted in an effective control of infection that is much better than that achieved with current standard treatment, silver sulphadiazine, and other substances.21-23
Thermal injury is an oxidative injury.
There is increased free radical activity at the site, resulting in increased lipid peroxidation, which is responsible for scarring and contractures.
In burns the early application of honey mops up the free radicals and reduces such scarring and contractures.

Bottom line: Natural honey is the best treatment for superficial and partial-thickness burns. It applies to wounds too by the way!

Why it's essential:
Standard tests have proved honey to be sterile and so far no clinical study has shown any complication, such as allergy, after its use in wounds and burns - thus NATURAL honey can be used unprocessed and undiluted.
