No endorsement: The physicians here do not endorse any products. But, honey is 100% sugar. High content sugar diets lead to diabetes and/ or obesity. I would not want my patients using much of this in their diets.

Wound salve: Mānuka honey is a monofloral honey produced in new zealand and australia from the nectar of the mānuka tree. It is very thick. Many believe that it has antibacterial and anti-infective properties and makes a good wound salve although not for the most serious or chronic wounds. Wild honey has been used on scrapes and cuts for thousands of years. Pasteurized honey doesn't work, only raw, wild honey.
