Honey has been used for wound healing for over 4,000 years however has only recently been rediscovered by modern medicine. Records of people covering wounds with honey stretch back to ancient Egypt, as Dioscorides reported in 50 AD1 The development of medical grade honey products - Melladerm Plus - means that the properties of honey as a healing agent can be used to treat large varieties of different situations; from deep wounds or  infected leg ulcers to burns, cuts, grazes, scratches, insect bites, etc.

MellaDerm Plus, Honey for Wound Healing

Using medical honey on a wound is now advocated by many Healthcare professionals however it is also reported that pure honey can be painful when in use on a wound. Additionally modern woundcare practice advocates maintaining a moist wound environment to aid the healing process.              Users should also be aware that honey is produced from different floral sources and the antibacterial activity can vary depending on the origin of the honey and particularly how it is processed2.                Melladerm Plus contributes to these requirements, consigning two myths about wound healing to history:               If it isn't hurting it isn't working - 100% pure honey products can cause pain by having an excess sucking effect (osmosis) on the wound bed. Additionally it has been reported that the initial application of the honey can cause a stinging pain, which often persists. This may all be good for healing but doesn't and shouldn't have to be painful. Melladerm Plus is a specifically selected honey which is then diluted to ensure all the healing and antibacterial properties are maintained whilst potential for the pain is negligible.               Let the air get at it - A wound kept moist and covered is far more likely to heal. Melladerm Plus provides the ideal moist environment for optimal healing.              The following link is a recently published article outlining the rationale and benefits for Melladerm Plus           Click here to view - Healing without the sting - by Keith Cutting Published in The Journal of Community Nursing (JCN) July 2008
