The use of Manuka Honey as a wound dressing is an ancient remedy that has been rediscovered and is becoming of increasing interest as more reports of its effectiveness are published. The clinical observations recorded are that infection is rapidly cleared, inflammation, swelling and pain are quickly reduced, odor is reduced, sloughing of necrotic tissue is induced, granulation and epithelialisation are hastened, and healing occurs rapidly without scarring.

The antimicrobial properties of Manuka Honey prevent microbial growth in the moist healing environment that's created. Unlike many other topical antiseptics, Honeymark's First Aid Antiseptic Lotion causes no tissue damage. As its main ingredient, Manuka Honey actually promotes the healing process. It has a direct nutrient effect as well as the ability to draw lymph out to the cells by osmosis. The stimulation of healing is due to the acidity of the honey.

Many medical professionals are using Manuka Honey and getting amazing results in patients with wounds that have not responded to standard treatment which is why Honeymark uses it as the main ingredient in all its products. Clearing bacterial infection from a wound is essential to allow the healing process to occur. Recent tests on many strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as MRSA, VRE and Acinetobacter baumarii have shown that these bacteria have no resistance to Manuka Honey. These "super-bugs" are a serious clinical problem as infections with them often cannot be treated with antibiotics.

The most common wound infecting species of bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, has been found to be particularly sensitive to Manuka Honey. As MRSA-related Staph infections continue to cause concern throughout the community due to their resistance to antibiotics, Honeymark's First Aid Antiseptic Lotion provides a viable solution. This product is very effective as a dressing for wounds, burns and skin ulcers for the following reasons:

• Inflammation, swelling and pain are quickly reduced;
• Malodor is reduced;
• Shedding of dead tissue is induced so surgical removal is unnecessary;
• Healing occurs rapidly with minimal or no scarring and with no need for skin grafting;
• Infection is rapidly cleared.
