Is it true that bee balm is antibacterial? can i put it on cuts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No------yes: Not significant. Note that if it were antibacterial, that might be bad. For example, Bacitracin and neosporin have been shown to be harmful to use on cuts or burns. And, yes, you can put it on cuts. But it is less useful on cuts than vaseline.
