Episode 72 - Just a Thought... Does honey heal wounds?
In this week’s clinical segment, we’re joined once again by Amelia Sherwood RVN, a highly experienced veterinary nurse and educator with a special interest in wound management. Together, we explore the evidence behind one of the most interesting treatments in both human and veterinary medicine: honey.
We begin by asking the big question; does honey really “heal all wounds,” and is there strong veterinary evidence to support its use in clinical practice? Amelia shares her expertise on how honey functions as part of a comprehensive wound care strategy, including its antimicrobial properties, its impact on tissue healing, and the clinical scenarios where it can be most effective.
We also dive into the difference between medical-grade honey, such as Manuka honey, and the kind you might find in your kitchen cupboard. Amelia explains why not all honeys are created equal, how medical-grade products are prepared and regulated for safety, and what risks are associated with using non-sterile, non-clinical honeys in veterinary patients.
