Prof. Bernard Descottes, the chief surgeon at Limoges University Hospital in France, says that pouring honey over a hard-to heal would means a rapid healing.Prof. Descottes, said that he had treated more than 300 patients with honey. According to him, honey that we put in our tea or spread on our toast will have 95 per cent rapid recovery.

Their wounds healed at least 8 - 10 days faster than when they used a traditional treatment.



Many factors contribute to honey's healing powers. Honey is rich in sugar which help cells to heal.

Besides that, honey also contains different substances that stimulate the circulation of the blood on the edges of wounds. Then, honey also contains enzymes which help the healing process and a natural antibiotic that is called inhibine.

In Eastern Europe, honey is widely used to heal wounds. Doctors are well aware of its powers although its widely overlooked.
