I know a wound specialist nurse who says there has been lots of research into
what type of honey is best, and they use honey professionally (also maggots,
her favourite!) and the main thing you need to know about honey on wounds is
that it is very tricky to keep it ON the wound as it tends to slither off,
which is what limits its use. They also have to ensure the wounds can get
oxygen so the dressings are tricky.

Dear all,
I just found this reference to Manuka honey in wound treatment.
https://www.advancedtissue.com/honey-can-help-wound-healing/ [1] ;
Any comments on how we can be sure to get genuine manuka honey, bearing in
mind the huge volume of exports of Manuka from New Zealand? More than could
be expected from the number of hives in NZ, apparently.
Literally asking for a friend who has a persistent post-op wound which is
taking longer to heal than she'd expect.
Regards,
Alison
