Honey

My mother was bedridden the last 6 months or so of her life. She developed a bedsore. One of the hospice nurses told her home care givers to put honey on the wound. (And they just used stuff from the grocery store that was likely pasteurized.) They did use this a couple of times a day. It did help the sore improve some and it never got infected, though my mother's health was very poor.

I tend to think that raw honey would have been better, but was thrilled to hear of success with honey whatever the type.

I love that this is a remedy that is inexpensive, safe, and available to people all over the world.
