So as I said in the video, I fell off my bike the other week. Whoops. But this ended up being a really interesting rabbit hole to go down, learning some cool facts about how honey is being used to treat wounds, burns, and chronic irritation.
A few cool facts that didn’t make it into the video:
- “Honey has been used in wound care for thousands of years, with records of its use in Ancient Egyptian times documented on the Edwin Smith papyrus between 2600 and 2000 BCE” (Moses, 2023)
- Honey includes flavonoids, which is what makes the color/pigmentation in flowers and fruits. Flavonoids aren’t broken down by our digestive system, they’re broken down by our gut microbiome into antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. That doesn’t help with topical wound care, per se, but it is neat!
- The viscosity of honey helps just plain cover the wound to keep bacteria from getting in and protect it from dehydration

Did you know there’s such a thing as medical grade honey?
Hi! I’m Ben and I recently competed in the “Ride a Bike Really Well” competition and… I lost. But, when I got home, I had recently moved, so I didn’t have any Neosporin or anything to clean out my wound. But that’s when I realized that I do have honey! And honey is antibacterial!
You may already know that honey is antibacterial, but do you know why? Honey is so oversaturated with sugar that when it’s exposed to water, the water wants to get into the honey to help even out that concentration. That’s osmosis! And that’s a problem for bacteria, because these are single celled organisms filled with water. So, if the bacteria gets into the honey all the water gets SCHLOOPED out and it dies!
In terms of wound care, that osmosis can also draw out fluid from the skin to help flush out dead skin and other debris. But, medical grade honey has been shown to do even more when applied with dressings and bandages, reducing healing time by up to 30% or 15 days! Manuka honey, often sold on the brand MediHoney, also has a compound called methylglyoxyl, which acts as an antibiotic.
And that makes this the naturally derived product to be approved by the FDA for use in wound care!
Follow for more cool science!

When Rakus, an orangutan at the Suaq Project in Medan, Indonesia, had a nasty wound below his right eye, the animal knew exactly what to do. Scientists observed Rakus pluck and chew up leaves of a medicinal plant, then use his fingers to apply it to the injured area. Within a month, the wound had closed. The Associated Press has more on the orangutan with an apparent sense for natural remedies. https://flip.it/rDVICV

#Bloodletting is a formerly widespread medical treatment. It is famous as one of the most common treatments of prescientific humoristic medicine, which postulated that disease was caused by imbalance of the body's humors: black bile, yellow bile, blood, and phlegm. If a person had a disease which indicated too much blood, bloodletting was used to correct the problem. Bloodletting was even thought to be a cure for anaemia.
Bloodletting has a long, venerable history of use in traditional and pre-scientific medicine as a panacea of sorts, and patients liked it so much, they had to be convinced not to be bled. As such, it should come as no surprise that general-purpose bloodletting is still used in alternative medicine as part of #Unani, #Ayurveda, and traditional Chinese medicine. One naturopathic textbook lists all three of these systems as being acceptable bases for naturopathic practice.

#Naturopathy, or naturopathic medicine, is a field of practice in healing and maintaining health wherein practitioners use various "natural" remedies to treat their patients. The main idea behind naturopathy is that it supposedly helps the body's own self-healing process; this is based on the pre- and pseudo-scientific theory of vitalism, according to which the body has some sort of "energy" that is necessary for one's health. Naturopathic medicine disfavours surgery and drugs, preferring more friendly and fuzzy treatments like herbal medicine or outright woo such as "natural energy fields". Unlike medical or osteopathic doctors (M.D. and D.O, respectively), naturopathic doctors (N.D.) are not universally regulated so on this page the term naturopath is used for both licensed and unlicensed practitioners of naturopathy.

@summerbear Luckily #naturopathy isn't still a thing here in Czech Republic, but #homeopathy, #TCM and other woo are doing their part.
