Read the excellent article published in the CBS Health Report. How manuka honey is used as a wound dressing.

Gently remove the honey dressing. Wash wound, burn, sore, scar etc. with a saline solution or with lukewarm, cool, but not cold water. Apply a new honey dressing. Simply apply Active Manuka Honey to a sterile gauze. Apply the gauze, with the honey attached to the wound.

Because honey is sticky and the wound will cause the honey to run, it is best to apply a teaspoon or tablespoon (depending on the size and depth of the wound) to a sterile gauze, then apply the gauze with the honey to the wound. Change the dressing every 24 hours.

Gently lift off the skin tape and gauze from the wound. Since Active Manuka Honey is a natural barrier between the wound and the gauze, you can easily remove the gauze. The patient will experience a PAIN-FREE wound dressing change. Because the honey is a natural barrier between the wound and the gauze, the new cells that were just created to help close a wound, will not be ripped out, when changing the wound dressing, but will stay in tact.

Apply a new honey wound dressing every 24 hours. Cleanse wound as described above, before applying a new Active Manuka Honey wound dressing.

Most of the time the honey feels very soothing when covering a wound. However sometimes you may feel a slight stinging or burning sensation which is caused by the high acidity of the honey. For most people this sensation will subside in 5-10 minutes. However, if the burning and stinging sensation remains or even gets stronger. If that occurs, the honey must be removed from the wound and the wound washed with warm water.

Bees are often killed in the production of honey, in the worst case the whole hive may be destroyed if the keeper doesn't wish to protect them over the winter. Not all beekeepers do this, but the general practice is one that embodies the attitude that living things are mere material and have no intrinsic value of their own other than what commercial value we can wrench from them. Artificial insemination involving death of the male is now also the norm for generation of new queen bees.

While the “first aid ointment” fights infection, it lacks the ability to keep the wound free of necrotic tissue. Click here for the complete explanation. AmeriGel® is antimicrobial and antifungal, which means that AmeriGel® can kill bacteria and microorganisms that could cause infection, much like an antibiotic.
