Honey has the power to heal wounds because it releases hydrogen peroxide at
a slow enough rate not to damage the skin tissue. The honey also has an
osmotic effect that draws out lymph to the wound site. Peter Molan has done
many experiments to prove the power of honey as a healing agent. As far as
pollen goes, when you consume it, your immune system gets used to it, and
eventually, your immune system takes no action against pollen during hay
season. In the "Sting" magazine distributed to members of the Ontario
Beekeeper's Association, propolis is anti-bacterial, anti-viral,
anti-fungal, local anaesthetic, and it simulates the immune system. Hope
this helps.
