Honey Helper

Honey is a staple in most households. Did you know that you can use it for more than just cooking? Honey can be used as an antibiodical ointment to help wounds heal.

Clean your wound with some water to remove any debris.

Place a small amount of honey to the affected area and cover with a sterile wrap.

The honey will keep the wound slightly moist for healing as well as reduce some of the swelling.

An enzyme called Inhibine in the honey will help prevent infection.

Honey is also universally been used for relief from bronchial ailments such as coughing.

Give one teaspoon as needed to help quiet a cough.

DO NOT give honey to infants under the age of one, and only give children pasturized honey as raw honey can contain bacteria that can be very harmful to infants and young children.
