I accidentally fell off the bicycle and bruised my hand. The problem was not too big. My dad painted me honey. Why does honey help the wound?

    Honey is helpful for wounds. High-quality honey will not spoil if left at room temperature for several years, indicating that its antiseptic effect is extremely strong. Experiments confirmed that honey has a strong inhibitory effect on Gram-positive bacteria such as streptococcus, staphylococcus, diphtheria and other bacteria. When treating wounds, apply honey to the affected area to reduce exudation, reduce pain, promote wound healing, and prevent infection.
