Manuka Honey

Manuka honey

what did you do with the manuka honey? Take it from a spoon? In a drink? What quantity? I wonder if gargling in water, then spitting out would be beneficial?
I know. I ask too many questions.

Here in New Zealand where our bees make the stuff, I like a spoon in some hot water and lemon juice. Sometimes a little ginger helps. The Manuka honey has anti bacterial properties, so can be used as a cream for infected wounds. It’s properties can be damaged by too much heat, so be careful not to add it to boiling hot water.

I'm an 87yo T2D using insulin for control. I have developed a persistent leg ulcer due to cellulitus and diabetes which shows no sign of healling with conventional care and treatment. Does anyone have any experience of applying Manuka honey in a similar situation and did it make any difference of affect a cure?

I have used this for a festering wound infected with hospital super bug MRSA. After 6 months of nurse coming and dressing the wound and each time pulling off the new layer of skin. The oils and bees wax prevents the dressing from sticking to the wound. It is called Mebo wound repair.

I've used honey a lot for wound healing - ordinary honey - and my mother taught me, as probably hers taught her. I can't say whether it would work for you, but it is worth a try.

Adding the caveat that I'm not a dr. and don't know any more about your health than you have already mentioned - apologies.
