ANTIBACTERIAL HONEY
FOR
CUTS WOUNDS AND BURNS
How antibacterial honey assists
wound healing.
- Inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria at the
wound
site
- Provides a moist wound healing environment
- Assists to lift debris and dirt away from the wound site
- Helps to minimise scab formation and scarring
- Provides a protective barrier between the dressing and the
wound
- Helps prevent sticking and irritation of the dressing to wound
site
- Antioxidants reduce damage caused by free radicles at the
wound site
- Stimulates cytokine release which reduces inflammation and
speeds up the wound healing process
How antibacterial honey is used topically
Squeeze
Antibacterial Honey onto a clean non adhesive dressing, using
approximately 25g for a 10x10 bandage and apply to the affected area
. Be sure to completely cover the wound site, leaving no air pockets
between the dressing and the effected area. Daily dressing changes
are usual but if the dressing becomes too wet this can indicate that
more frequent dressing changes are required.
It is normal to
experience a short - lasting stinging sensation after applying
Antibacterial Honey to the wound site. Should pain, irritation,
redness and swelling persist and the condition being treated does
not appear to improve discontinue use, remove the dressing and wash
the Antibacterial Honey off the wound site and consult your doctor.
For the first aid treatment of wounds and burns. In case of serious
wounds and burns consult your doctor.
Always
read the directions on the tube.
Store below 25C.
Keep out

This antibacterial honey is cold extracted and processed
differently to normal honey which helps to retain the therapeutic
and antibacterial properties of this unique honey. This honey may
naturally crystallise but this will not effect its activity. Simply

Two phytoactive compounds with
proven antibacterial properties.
For
centuries honey has been used as a food and prized as medicine
by many cultures from around the world. Only recently has the
effectiveness of honey for its medical use been linked to its potent
antibacterial properties. Researchers in Australia have investigated
the therapeutic properties and benefits of Leptospermum honey and
have proved that some Leptospermum honeys are very effective at
inhibiting the growth of many disease forming bacteria and
fungi.
Some Leptospermum honeys contain two types of
antimicrobial activity. The first is due to an enzyme glucose
oxidase , which is activated on dilution to release
Hydrogen Peroxide.
This slow release of
Hydrogen Peroxide acts as an powerful antiseptic without
damaging sensitive tissues at the wound site.
The
second and additional property which makes Leptospermum honey
doubly potent is a unique phytochemical compound recently
identified as methylgloxal. This unique phytoactive plant
property has also been proven reliable in its
ability to inhibit or kill many micro-organisms.
There is
evidence to suggest that the two antibacterial components together
may have a synergistic action.
Leptospermum Honey has been
tested against up to 80 different pathogenic and disease causing
organisms including the modern antibacterial resistant 'superbug',
Golden Staph. |
