One of the antibacterial properties of...To: Chris<br /><br /><br />One of the antibacterial properties of honey includes the creation of low levels of hydrogen peroxide which makes honey very useful in treating infections. Although the levels of hydrogen peroxide in honey are very low, it is still effective as an antimicrobial agent. <br /><br />Substantial amounts of honey need to be applied to a wound to achieve proper treatment levels. It’s important that sufficient honey is applied to a wound and it is kept in place in order for proper healing to take place. While honey is fairly thick at room temperature, normal body temperature will cause it to thin out rapidly.<br /><br />To achieve best results the honey should be applied to an absorbent dressing prior to application. If honey is applied directly to the wound, the honey will have a tendency to “run off “before a secondary dressing can be applied to hold the honey in place.<br /><br />Since honey does not soak readily into absorbent dressings, soaking a dressing with honey is easier if the honey is warmed to body temperature first. It can also be diluted slightly with warm water.<br /><br />Honey can also be applied to wound cavities because it is biodegradable and washes out easily with water.<br /><br />Thanks Chris.<br /><br />RWriverwalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575212890278793911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-56523020336541459882012-05-04T08:38:09.716-05:002012-05-04T08:38:09.716-05:00Was checking the net for wound treatments and came...Was checking the net for wound treatments and came to this great post!<br />The use of sugar makes total sense to me and I have the chance to try it now.<br /><br />However it strikes me that sugar and honey are mentioned as if they are the same thing. However, there is a mayor difference: honey has anti-bacterial agents in it whereas sugar has not.<br />Therefor honey also kills healthy cells of the body.<br />But where the sugar touches the healthy tissue, it becomes moist and creates a healthy environment for the cells (but also for germs so it needs to be washed off twice a day) but a barrier for germs.<br /><br />In short my two cents is that honey is best applied to dead or very infected tissue and can be left longer and sugar is best used on fairly clean healthy tissue.<br />Any thoughts on that?chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-49495564213098927512012-01-25T05:06:10.552-06:002012-01-25T05:06:10.552-06:00Still works up to know.
