Burns: Manuka Honey Benefits For Burns
While honey’s antiseptic and healing properties have been accepted in various cultures for millennia, manuka is a new kind on the block.
If you need immediate relief for a mild case of burn and the associated pain, manuka honey is an unmatched ingredient to have on hand.
Various studies and hospital experiments have confirmed the benefits of using Manuka honey to treat burns ranging from superficial to medium. While deeper burns require specialized treatment, manuka use acts as a primary remedial action.
At Biosota, we consider superior-grade Manuka honey with MGO levels of 1443+ and more as a strong acting antiseptic to treat burn injuries and marks.
Manuka Honey Benefits for Burns
Honey is a tried and tested home remedy for burns, and manuka has specific properties that aid in healing and growth of new tissue.
You probably know this but it is worth mentioning. Raw honey contains antioxidants and compounds that protect the body from bacteria, viruses, and inflammation.
How Manuka proves helpful in first-degree burn treatment comes down to these properties.
Polyphenols, hydrogen peroxide, and MGO combine to form an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial team. The secure bubble is created around the burn sealing off the skin from foreign elements, especially germs and moisture.
Honey’s high acidity levels provide a pH that is less conducive to infection and bacterial growth. Besides, manuka is high in natural sugars which creates an osmotic effect. In other words, this acts as a protective barrier against bacteria trying to colonize your burned skin.
Manuka or any quality honey for that matter has an affinity for liquids. It draws out pus forming moisture from the burned surface of your skin. This dehydrates the existing pathogens and you heal much faster.
Slowly MGO activity takes effect and your burn starts to heal with old cells shed and new cells taking root.
Depending on the grade and purity of your manuka and its levels of MGO and antioxidants, this healing effect may be minimal or strong,
Our Manuka Honey MGO 1717+ can cauterize the burn, soothe the pain, reduce infection and accelerate healing.
