Honey is getting some attention among practitioners as a treatment for a number of skin conditions. This includes ulcers, bedsores, and burns. The idea is that honey helps penetrate the wound and ward off bacteria. On top of that, honey may help reduce inflammation and provide a moist environment conducive to healing. The type of honey most commonly credited with these effects isn’t the kind you’ll find most readily at your grocery store, it must come from a local apiary. You must use a raw variety that hasn’t been processed above 95 degrees.
