Honey is a natural antibiotic. A study done in Egypt in the 1970's showed that surgical wounds taped together instead of sutured, and treated with honey instead of antibiotics produced faster healing, with less infection and less scar tissue (Honey, Mud and Maggots, and Other Medical Marvels by Root-Bernstein, Robert S. and Michele M.). Some people I have told about this over the years have tried it and been pleased with the results.
When the
pollen contains certain other ingredients then it is able to help the
body deal with the worst bacterial infections. Another honey with
pollen from the trees which produce tea-tree oil, available only from
Australia, also is effective against MRSA infections.
