Now you know how good honey is for the throat, but did you also know that it's super effective for treating flesh wounds? Yep, believe it or not, it has great healing powers for cuts and everyday burns. It helps speed up the process and rapidly reduces inflammation and irritation. Not to mention its osmotic effects, which come in handy when you have to change your band-aid. It prevents the band-aid from sticking to the scar tissue, which limits the pain and results in less screaming from the kiddies.
