Harnessing Manuka Honey: A Natural Remedy for Accelerated Burn Wound Healing
The ideal topical agent in burn treatment has the following characteristics: (1) possesses a broad spectrum of bactericidal and fungicidal action even in situations in which there is significant exudate and wound infection; (2) improves and accelerates physiological wound healing processes (granulation, epithelialization, and contraction); (3) does not cause local or systemic adverse effects (allergic reactions, toxicity, etc.) even with prolonged application; (4) is cost-effective; and (5) is comfortable to apply (easy and painless application) [4].
Honey has osmolarity and pH values that enable bacteriostatic and bactericidal action. The enzyme glucose oxidase found in the bees’ hypopharyngeal glands releases gluconolactone and hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide stimulates fibroblast proliferation and epithelialization by keratinocyte migration from the edges of the wound in lower concentrations [5]. In comparison, it releases a large amount of oxygen radicals in higher concentrations, which prevent healing [4,6].
Manuka honey,specifically derived from the Leptospermum scoparium plant native to New Zealand,has been shown to exhibit unique wound healing propertiesdue to its high methylglyoxal content [7]. Recent studies highlight its ability to inhibit biofilm formation and combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria [8].
Manuka honey contains methylglyoxal, bee-defensin 1, and melanoids found in various nectars bees collect [9,10]. It has been determined that honey reduces inflammation and scar contraction through its antioxidant properties, neutralizes free radicals, and acts as a bactericide by lowering the pH of the environment. All these characteristics positively affect the healing of a burn wound [11]. Honey activates phagocytosis and stimulates the proliferation of B and T lymphocytes. In addition to other mechanisms, honey contributes to the activation of monocytes by releasing important cytokines such as TNF, IL-1, and IL-6 [12]. This evidence strongly suggests that honey plays a role in enhancing the local immune response. It is considered to stimulate fibroblasts, reduce fibrosis, and, consequently, the formation of hypertrophic scars, and affect keratinocyte activity [13]. These findings emphasize the clinical potential of Manuka honey as an advanced topical agent for burn wounds.
Antioxidants reduce the secretion of free oxygen radicals, thereby shortening the inflammatory phase, which is crucial for tissue healing [14]. In addition, honey creates a physical barrier. It creates a moist environment with a high viscosity by drawing water through osmosis, which has a positive effect, considering that wounds heal faster in a moist environment [15].

anon can attest manuka honey is a miracle for burns, in 10 minutes it stops all pain (burns are extremely painful) and it facilitates skin growth within a week. Buy one from a GOOD SOURCE and put it on your shelf. Have had one 20+ years still works great.
