What does it do?

Honey is a natural sugar mixture primarily used for wound treatment and enhancing immune function. This ingredient is included in pharmaceuticals to aid in infection prevention and tissue regeneration. It is mainly applied locally to the wound area to promote healing.

Honey inhibits bacterial growth at the wound site through its antibacterial action. Furthermore, due to its high sugar concentration, it absorbs moisture to keep the wound environment dry and promotes tissue regeneration. This accelerates the wound healing process.
