Infection Remedy
Raw honey has a long traditional history as a topical dressing for minor cuts and scrapes, thanks to its natural antibacterial properties — it is not a substitute for medical care on a wound that shows signs of real infection.
What you'll need
- Raw honey
- A clean bandage
Steps
- Clean the minor cut or scrape thoroughly.
- Apply a thin layer of raw honey.
- Cover with a clean bandage and change daily.
Important: Increasing redness, warmth, swelling, pus, or fever means it's time to see a doctor — don't rely on home care alone.
