Honey is an
antibiotic which is used to prevent infection on wounds and also to hasten
healing. It is used as laxative, as natural cure for diarrhea and upset stomach,
for coughs and sore throats.
How does honey work as an antibiotic?
When honey
is applied on wounds, it releases hydrogen peroxide slowly. Hydrogen peroxide
is an antibacterial, antimicrobial and antiseptic compound produced from an
enzyme, which disinfects wound, kills germs and heals the broken skin.
Most
strains of harmful bacteria cannot survive in the presence of oxygen or
hydrogen peroxide. It should be noted that honey doesn’t need to be
refrigerated as bacteria don’t survive well in it that is, it doesn’t spoil.
Honey’s
viscosity provides a protective barrier and forms a moist environment for the
wound. It creates a healing layer between wound and dressing with no sticking or
tissue damage, reducing the chance of scarring as the skin cells grow without
forming any scar.
Honey
supplies nutrients necessary for healthy tissue regeneration and stimulates the
growth of new blood capillaries. The antibacterial properties also provide a
barrier to cross infection of wounds. The high sugar content of honey has an
osmotic effect on wounds. It draws lymph out to the cells while absorbing
moisture and provides an anti-inflammatory action which reduces swelling and
pain.
Honey
contains a large amount of glucose, a simple sugar that combines chemically
with collagen, a tissue protein. When applied to burns or wounds, honey often
heals without leaving scars. The acidity of honey also promotes healing. Honey
even makes wounds smell better, because when bacteria in wound eat honey’s
sugar, they give off sweeter smelling gases.
