>the antibiotics did not do their job- the honey did. So
with my left hand he gave immediate approval, and honey worked fine.
My wife and I have used honey in this way for many years. It has cured chilblains and minor cuts many times.
The two most serious incidents were a severe burn to the palm of my hand when I was doing some plumbing and managed to get up from the floor by putting my hand on the nozzle of a red hot blowtorch and putting my full weight on it! Honey healed it with no scarring.
The second was a severely infected wound on my foot after scratching it on some coral. I thought nothing of the scratch but ended up at A&E when it did not heal; they put some sort of fancy plaster directly over it and said to leave it for a week and then go to my GP to have the dressing changed. When the dressing was removed there was a 2" diameter and more than 1/4" deep black and purple ulcerated wound. The nurse sent for the doctor immediately and they decided to use a special silver impregnated dressing. When I got home I removed the dressing a replaced it with honey and the improvement was seen very quickly, although it took 3 months for everything to get back to normal looking skin.
Incidentally, I find that the easiest way to use honey is to put it on some lint and apply it to the wound, then I cover it with Opsite Flexifix transparent film; this seals everything completely - keeps the honey in and is totally waterproof for day after day, so no problems showering.
Our holiday medical kit now has a small plastic pot of honey, some lint and a roll of Opsite!
Best wishes
