Question: Explain 1 reason why honey may be useful for the healing of wounds and burns !?
Answers:
"Modern creams and antibiotics may help heal, but they often have the disadvantage of killing tissue and causing scabs and scars!. But not all of us think to put honey under that Band-Aid or bandage!. Results of a three year clinical trial at the University Teaching Hospital in Calabar, Nigeria, showed that unprocessed honey can heal wounds when more modern dressings and antibiotic treatments fail!. In 59 patients treated for wounds and external ulcers, honey was effective in all but one case!. Topical applications kept sterile wounds sterile until they had time to heal, while infected wounds became sterile within a week!. Honey was also shown to remove dead tissue from persistent wounds, helping some patients avoid skin grafts or amputations!."Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you have ever gotten honey on your fingers and pressed them together for a while then tried to pull them apart then realize how strong the bond between honey an the skin is!. When applying to burns and wounds you want that strong of a bond to avoid getting something in the wound or blister of a burn!. secondly if it is infected, the honey pulls the infection from th skin along with all dead tissue causing a cleaner heal job and this allows for less scarring !.Www@Answer-Health@Com
