Medical Uses of Honey - Treating Burns

Honey. It's a completely natural and inexpensive product with wondrous healing capabilities which you could be using right now. Honey has some amazing powers when it comes to burn treatment.
Although serious burns require immediate professional medical assistance, less serious burns are treatable with honey. Not only does honey do a good job of decreasing the pain associated with burns, it also assists in encouraging healing.

If you have a burn and want to use honey as a curative, apply a small amount of the raw product lightly over the affected area. You can then cover the honey with a dressing of gauze or a similar sterile material. Some have found that dusting the honey with cornstarch is a good way of reducing the stickiness of the treatment.

We would like to invite you to make a comment on your personal experiences on being pregnant or becoming a parent.  I have three children and have experienced three completely different pregnancies and births, from premature labor to caserean section. My first child arrived 6 weeks early and it was a very frightening experience after I started bleeding at 32 weeks. I was very unsure of what was happening and felt emotionally wrecked when I left hospital after giving birth to my beautiful little boy, without him.  I felt very blessed to have him and after 3 long weeks of him staying in the special care unit, he was ready to come home.  He hasn't looked back and is now over 6 feet at 14 years of age. So even though we had a shaky start, we are very fortunate to have a very healthy and happy child. I would love to hear your story and it may even help other women going through the same thing.
