Q. I did an internship in OB/GYN in 1973 at Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn. When a wound would start to open rather than healing, we would have the patient come to the hospital a few times a week and pour Golden Blossom honey straight from the jar purchased in the supermarket into the wound. NOTHING grows in honey. We'd get nice granular tissue that would heal from the inside out.
A. Thank you for sharing your experience. Wound management requires medical supervision, with or without honey.
During the cold season I always seem to get cuts around my cuticle which really have a lot of discomfort and pain and have a problem healing the cuts. I'm going to try the honey and see if it works. I just purchased your book for my husband. Thank You!
I had a sore on my nose, and whenever it scabbed up, it would itch and I would scratch off the scab. One day I decided to put honey on the open sore, and it is healing up nicely now without itching.
My sister's husband had a stroke, which left him paralyzed. He now has a sore on his big toe that won't heal. Someone said to use honey on it to help it heal; can you please help us?
I used New Zealand Thyme honey for a chronic cough, and it worked wonders. I had my wife try it, and it worked for her as well. I put a small amount on my tongue and let it slowly 'melt' down my throat. My wife puts it in tea. You must use Thyme honey of a type only available from New Zealand.
My poor dog has huge problems with hot spots. They can get out of control in 12 hours. I mislaid her presciption medicine so ended up coating the spot (after the typical cleaning procedure) with honey. Fortunately, she hasn't figured out that her 'dressing' tastes good because it stopped the infection quicker than the prescription ointment does.
I work with animal research and we had a dog yesterday rip out her stitches to a point where closure was not an option. Our on-staff veterinarian placed honey on a dressing and bandaged up our little beagle and today the wound already looked better!
My heels always crack open deeply and it is hard to walk on them. What would help me?
