Honey for Burns

Rita~'s Note:

Some properties in honey might contribute to its ability to fight infection and promote healing. Its high sugar content allows it to draw infection and fluid from wounds by a process called “osmosis.” Raw honey prevents bacterial growth through its acidic pH and through the work of an enzyme that produces small amounts of hydrogen peroxide.

I didn't burn myself to try this.....but I had hot grease dripped over my hand by a co-chef. I had horrible blisters! So when I saw this I decided to try it out. I'm not totally healed, but these really bad burns look so much better in a short period of time. Also, immediately after putting the honey on the burns, the pain subsided. So that is a bonus as well. Think this worked well!

Probably I burned my finger just to be able to try this. It works and will be very useful,since I always manage to burn my finger when making something in the oven. Thanks for sharing.Update:I had to update this,coz while I was reading Rita's thank you message I looked at my finger and there's nothing on it! No blister,not even a red mark,just nothing.As if nothing happened.
