but also damages tissue around the wound, and because H2O2 is unstable it disappears rapidly. H2O2 does not have much effect on healthy tissue which is why it is a great wound cleaner. This also makes honey great on wounds since it cleans out the wound and allows healing from the bottom up with no scabbing. I used it after major hand surgury with the reluctant approval of my surgeon when normal antibiotic treatment of the wound was not working very quickly. After I used honey (fast healing, no scarring, with full recovery of all movement ) he wrote a paper extolling its virtues.
