Honey: A Biologic Wound Dressing.
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
Honey is a biologic wound dressing with multiple bioactivities that work in concert to expedite the healing process: its acidity increases the release of oxygen from hemoglobin thereby making the wound environment less favorable for the activity of destructive proteases, and the high osmolarity of honey draws fluid out of the wound bed to create an outflow of lymph as occurs with negative pressure wound therapy.
