DESCRIPTION:The widespread development of antibiotic resistant bacterial g
 enerated an increasing interest in the use of alternate therapies for trea
 tment of infected wounds.\nThe honey effects: anti-bacterial on wounds sus
 ceptible to infections\, anti-oxidant activity that reduces the high conce
 ntration of free radicals and reactive oxygen produced in the inflammatory
  stage. The anti-inflammatory\, anti-edematous and exudative activity redu
 ces pain\, edema and exudation of wounds\, debridement of necrotic tissue 
 stimulating the formation of healthy granulation tissue\, stimulates wound
  contraction favoring wound closure\, and shows healing properties that mi
 nimize appearance. We examine the chemical and physical properties role of
  honey on wound healing.\n
