BY Penelope Judson 2020-05-10It can prevent wound infections, because honey has a strong inhibitory effect on Gram-positive bacteria such as streptococcus, staphylococcus, and diphtheria. When treating superficial wounds, if honey is applied to the affected area, it can reduce exudation, reduce pain, promote wound healing, and prevent infection. And the water temperature should not be too high when eating honey, otherwise it will destroy the nutrients of honey.9
