Researcher heals with honey
Researcher heals with honey After 20 years of study, a researcher in New
Zealand has found that honey is more effective for cleaning and
healing wounds and burns than medicinal ointments used by doctors.
Dr Molan says that he doesn't understand completely how honey works
to heal wounds but says that the enzymes that bees add to nectar to
turn it into honey contribute to its effectiveness. Honey may also
be an useful treatment for other injuries such as bed sores, foot
ulcers and other hard-to-heal lesions.
