Honey Magic

RKOF&S Health Care
Honey




Did you know this?  I didn't.  Found out hospitals use it on burn patients. I cut my leg last week, applied honey under a bandage and it healed right up Then I ate the bandage.

My mother used it on a foot infection I had as a child and it worked like a charm. Just don't call me "Sugarfoot."

Yep. Heard this was a wonderful thing for deep, diabetic ulcers. Thanks for making others aware, RKOF!

I think it has to be undiluted honey. It is so thick that the osmotic pressure prevents bacteria from forming. Using watery honey would probably make the situation worse.

Raw honey, filtered but not heated to death. Which also tastes better than the 'pure' stuff, too

honey out of the jar seems to work

Well, won't that depend upon the jar it comes out of? I do not think the honey has to be raw, just thick as we are looking for its osmotic pressure to do the trick.

From what I remember, honey is too sweet for bacteria to live there... So, if you dilute it, the sweetness concentration would drop, allowing bacteria to do their thing.
Remember, they make mead from honey, and it is definitely diluted...
If you have honey that has crystallized in the jar, you can put it in a saucepan, put in some water and leave the lid loose as you heat the water. The crystals will re-absorb with a little bit of stirring once heated, and you will have liquid honey once again.

I attribute zero colds or sore throats through the winter to eating my honey regularly...
