THE ANTISEPTIC ACTION OF HONEY
From the collection of Dr. Roch Domerego, Dr. Gaelle Imbert and Christian Blanchard:
Honey is also extremely antiseptic. This virtue is due to many of its physical and chemical characteristics.
Its sticky mass is a real wall against the invasion of bacteria. Once the bacteria are intercepted, they undergo the action of the sugars which, combined with the acidity of the honey, favor the creation of an environment completely unsuitable for the growth of most of them.
Combined with this property, honey produces hydrogen peroxide, an antiseptic better known as oxygene.
To this antibacterial effect is added a light anti-inflammatory effect very beneficial for the healing of any wound as well as the stimulation of the immune system which stimulates the body's natural defenses.
In conclusion, we must point out a difference in the healing effectiveness of honeys from many and from one flower. The latter act more focused on a specific pathology. Each honey corresponds to a specific therapeutic indication.
