Manuka Honey ( Info from JANE)

[00111001]

I've got (or had) an infected wound on my ankle (think I did it when drunk, can't remember properly) when I got home last night it was yellow / green. Went to the walk in centre to be told I may as well come back in 3 years time when the queue is slightly shorter. Went home, slapped a load of honey on there (not the fancy stuff, just normal honey) and all is well this morning.

When you can do to treat an infected wound etc is use a gauze pad and encircle the wound. Trim the pad down so it sticks out about quarter of an inch. Now you've got a ring around the wound (the gauze) 1/4 of an inch deep. Fill that with sugar, then bandage over and leave. Have a gander in the morning and you should find it's looking better. Replace the sugar (and gauze etc) and leave for 48 hours. This works wonders on recurring abscesses and ulcers etc. The sugar prevents bacterial growth and sucks out the infection too. Damn site cheaper than imported honey
