During our dog's post surgery recovery it came to our attention that granular honey is very beneficial when applied to wounds that are slow to heal. We were told that any local unpasturized honey would do . . . but after doing some reading online it seemed worth the extra $20.00 to buy Manuka Honey. What's twenty dollars? . . . after oncology vet bills! The Honey Research Unit, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Waikato, New Zealand has been researching the healing properties of Manuka Honey for over twenty years.
After reading online I learned that unpasturized granular honey rapidly clears infection by destroying bacteria and repairs damaged skin. It has been used on humans with burns, ulcers and bedsores. It hastens the healing process and helps to regenerate new skin growth. After several weeks of little change (only negative) we were certainly willing to give granular honey a try.
