The existence of hydrogen peroxide in honey disinfects and heals woundsthanks to its antibacterial, antiseptic and antimicrobial properties. Bacteria can not survive in the presence of oxygen or hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide regulates the amount of oxygen getting to the cells and increases oxygen delivery to tissues.
Honey creates a moist healing barrier that prevents the adhesion of wound dressings, thereby avoiding tissue damage new skin. Scarring is also reduced with the use of honey as a wound dressing because skin cells grow withoutform a crust. Honey also produces a protective barrier around the wound and prevent cross-infection.
The nutrients found in honey helps regrow healthy tissue and promotes the regeneration of new blood capillaries. It also contains amino acids, vitamins, minerals and sugars that help in the healing process. The vitamin C content in honey has a role in the synthesis of collagen. Honey is also extremely acidic, which helps the healing process because the bacteria can not survivein acid.
The high sugar content in honey has an osmotic effect on wounds by drawing out of sap and absorb moisture. As a result, dirt and debris from the wound bed, the removal of necrosis induced repealed.

A special type of honeyhave been named in New Zealand Manuka honey seems more healing properties than other honeys. The bees collect nectar from flowers that grow on the tree Manuka, this nectar to produce this particular type of honey containing powerful antibacterial properties. In addition to hydrogen peroxide is found in almost all types of honey, Manuka honey contains a different type of antibacterial component has become known as the only factor, or UMF Manuka has. This other antibacterialThe activity is unaffected by enzymes in the body that destroy hydrogen peroxide components. It 'also insensitive to light, heat or aging. Manuka Honey maintains its efficacy even at more than 50 times that occur when used undiluted on the body as a dressing. It also has the ability to diffuse into the skin to reach areas deeply affected.
"Active Manuka is a powerful antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal that is the destruction of E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus andHelicobacter pylori, "says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Mark Honeywell International, a manufacturer of health care products with Active Manuka Honey as a main component." Its antibacterial properties are also effective against antibiotic-resistant superbugs like MRSA and can be used in cases where traditional forms of medicine do not work. "
