• As a topical agent, honey has been reported to have benefit in treating chronic, surgical, and traumatic wounds. Recently, studies have examined the benefits of honey in the treatment of burns, skin grafts, Fournier's gangrene, radiation-induced mucositis, and dermatologic conditions such as seborrhea and dermatitis. Ingested honey has been examined for its potential benefit in the treatment of DM, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, and gastroenteritis.
• A 2001 systematic review found topical honey to be superior toControl for postoperative wound healing, maintenance of sterility, and eradication of infection. Small controlled studies have indicated that honey is beneficial wound care for cesarean section, nonhealing wounds that do not respond to other treatments, and chronic, surgical, and traumatic wounds. A Cochrane systematic review reports that the strongest evidence available supports the use of honey for venous leg ulcers. A recent randomized controlled trial confirmed the efficacy of honey in the treatment of sloughing venous ulcers. In 2007, Medihoney™ was approved by the FDA for use in wounds and burns.
