Honey, at medical-grade level, is a high-quality wound care
product, as supported by the sheer number of papers in the
recent scientific literature. It has been found to be particularly
effective where standard wound care is limited or unsuccessful.
However, some wound-care professionals are still skeptical
about the benefits of honey in wound care. As the
antibacterial action of honey is well characterized, there is a
need to fully elucidate the compounds/mechanisms responsible
for honey’s immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory
properties in order to support a positive clinical outcome of
using honey in wound management
