I have had many people from the natural healing properties of Manuka Honey told and now I had the opportunity to try it yourself. However, I had not only taken him, but also applied to a wound. I had a toenail surgery that was unfortunately something went wrong. My toe would not heal easily. I had read in a clinical trial that you can apply honey on open wounds. This is then absorbed by the body and does not have to be rinsed off. Behold, 4 days later saw my toe much better aud and now after 2 weeks everything has healed. I can only recommend! Even my almost 90 year old mother swears now on the honey and take daily 2 teaspoons. By the way has to be for application to the skin of the UMF 25+ since the lower values are very fluid.
