Research has shown that a wound that can heal itself in a short period (within 10 days) has less scarring than a wound that takes longer to heal. The application of healthy skin cells to a wound can reduce the time a wound takes to heal and therefore improve the quality of the skin.

Is Honey the same as Sugar?

Manuka Honey
If by "sugar" we mean white table sugar, the answer is definitely NO. Table sugar is sucrose, a substance made up of two molecules attached together. When we eat table sugar, our stomach has to use its own enzymes to separate the molecules apart before we can use the sugar's energy. Honey is quite different. The bees have added a special enzyme to the nectar that separates the sucrose into glucose and fructose, two simple sugars that our bodies can absorb directly.

Can Honey spoil?

Manuka Honey

However, if the moisture content is raised above 20%, yeasts can begin to grow and cause fermentation. Honey can also change texture over time, and separate out into solids (glucose) and liquids (fructose and moisture). Stirring the product will mix up the components and return it to its former creamed state.
