Honey is a sweet substance often associated with food, but nothing’s sweeter than finding out that it c an also be used for other purposes. For one, studies have shown that honey can serve as a natural remedy for multiple eye diseases.
Although honey has been medicinally used for a long time, not many people know the extent of its healing properties. In ancient times, honey was applied on wounds to promote healing. There are many factors that give honey its wound-healing ability. For one, most types of honey can produce hydrogen peroxide, which provides antibacterial activity. It can also maintain moist wound conditions, and has high viscosity that acts as a protective barrier, which prevents foreign material from infecting the wound. Lastly, honey has a low pH level and high sugar content, which hinder microbial growth. These properties make honey suitable for wound healing and so much more.
