A new prospective observational study published online in the International Wound Journal found that medicinal honey can promote healing and reduce the affected area of many wounds, when used as a secondary dressing.

  The study was financed in part by Derma Sciences (Princeton, NJ), a manufacturer of Medihoney, a unique line of dressings containing Active Leptospermum Honey from New Zealand.
