Some years ago I had earache so put some honey in but it did not help.
Maybe it would have been better to use liquid rather than granulated!

Anyway, I went to the doctor who looked in my ear and remarked,
"You'd better go back to the bees. It's wax you're short of"

I have a little booklet called 'Honey for Health' in which there is a
chapter on Honey in Medicine and Surgery.
It tells how in 1955 the gynaecological surgeon at the Norfolk and Norwich
Hospital (UK) wrote an article headed 'Honey as a Surgical Dressing'
explaining that he had dropped the use of normal antiseptics and antibiotics
in favour of honey on all his patients following operations. He summed up as
follows:-

"I have every reason to think that this very simple substance provides one
answer to the problem of treatment of many infected wounds.   The advantages
claimed for it are that it is non-irritating, non toxic, self sterile,
bactericidal, nutritive, cheap, easily obtained, easily applied and above
all, effective".

Praise indeed!

Another report says it is particularly good on burns and scalds.
