In fact raw honey that has NOT been heated is the best (this can be purchased from PureLiving Honey in the San Fernando Valley) This is because this honey has ALL the natural ENZYMES...It's also best to add goldenseal (contents of 1 capsule) and vitamin E(MUST not be synthetic), mix and then apply.. Will work for open wounds, diabetic wounds, bedsores etc. I am a Certified Natural Health Practitioner and take care of a lot of wounds ( animal and human) in my practice.....the wound w/ the applied honey should be 'tented' loose, or use an 'Elizabethan' collar to prevent licking.....

We've used the tubes of ManukaCare sterilised manuka honey a couple of times now. You need to cover it to stop it from being licked off (easier said than done), but did work very well on an open cut. This site has some useful background information and research on it (as well as the product): http://www.newzealandhoneyshop.co.uk If using for wounds then should also make sure it is sterilised manuka honey.
