Studies have shown that burn patients who are treated with pure, undiluted, unprocessed honey recovered much faster those treated with conventional burn treatment.
Natural Cure
In the nature's pharmacy, people are seeking after the grains and grasses of the field, the vegetables and precious herbs of the gardens, the fruits, seeds and nuts of the trees, and of course the sweet honey of the honey bees!natural sweetener image Extensive research has been conducted on the recently rediscovered the natural cure and therapeutic benefits of wild natural honey, particularly the Manuka Honey which is noted for its anti-bacterial properties.
A study (1995) by the University of Guelph in Canada which I particularly find amazing shows this: "Burn patients of a variety of ages were divided into two treatment groups. The burns of patients in group 1 were cleaned with a saline solution and were applied honey daily. Burns of group 2 were cleaned and covered with gauze that was soaked in 5% silver sulfadiazine which was changed daily. Results showed that within 7 days 91 % of the infected wounds treated with honey were free from infection, compared to less than 7% of the silver sulfadiazine treated burns. Within 15 days, 87% of honey treated wounds were healed compared to less than 10% of wounds in group 2. Research by Haffejee and Moose (1985) also found that honey treatment shortened the duration of diarrhoea in patients with bacterial gastroenteritis, in that patients treated with honey had a mean recovery of 58 hours compared with 93 hours for control patients.

Honey Expiration Date & Storage
honey facts image Honey is a miracle food; it never goes bad. It was reported that archaeologists found 2000 year old jars of honey in Egyptian tombs and they still tasted delicious! Many people find it rather surprising that bacteria cannot grow in honey because all things being equal, bacteria loves sugar. The unique chemical composition of low water content and relatively high acidic level in honey creates a low pH (3.2-4.5) environment that makes it very unfavourable for bacteria or other micro-organism to grow. Thus, "Best Before Dates" on honey buckets indicating honey shelf life do not seem to be very important after all. For more information on why shelf life is stated on the honey bottles in the shop and how to best store honey.source : http://www.benefits-of-honey.com/honey-facts.html
