Benefits of natural honey in the treatment of skin and wounds

Honey is used in making creams and cosmetics due to its moisturizing and strengthening properties. It has also been used to make medicines or apply them directly to wounds to treat pain and clinical wounds, stomach ulcers, varicose veins and burns. Natural honey helps the body resist infection and tissue repair and accelerates wound healing. If rubbed into place after a burn, it limits the blister surface and speeds up skin repair. In the writings, a lot of historical evidence has been reported of human treatment with honey or its veterinary use (pain and open wounds and bovine breast wounds).

This is especially true of meliponide and tergonide honeys from Central and South America and India.

Diabetes

Contrary to many people’s beliefs, honey is safe for diabetics without a doctor’s prescription. Honey can only be substituted for the amount of sugar that is allowed for the patient with the order of a specialist doctor and its consumption as excess sugar is not allowed than what is foreseen in their diet. However, in honey consumed by diabetics, the more fructose sugar than glucose, the better for them, so acacia honey, which has more fructose, is recommended for diabetics.

Studies show that the amount of insulin when consuming natural honey is less than the consumption of other foods with the same calories, and the level of blood sugar shortly after eating it was slightly higher compared to other foods with the same calories. A study of people’s health has shown that consuming honey products raises blood sugar slightly compared to consuming the same amount of sucrose.
