ABSTRACT

Honey has a long history in the treatment of wounds, supposedly due to its biomolecular therapeutic properties including inhibition of a wide range of pathological and infectious agents, as well as the ability to improve the healing process. Currently in Mexico, it has been reported the use of honey in wounds, taking up this ancient treatment for the benefit of patients with chronic wounds. In this article we discussed the available evidence concerning the use of honey in wounds of various etiologies. The aim of this paper is to illustrate the benefits of the honey in infectious and non-infectious wound. We concluded that honey accelerated and improved the healing, representing another treatment option for wounds. Honey has been used, since the prehispanic era in wound heling.
