Christian Riesen<\/a>, our wound care and healing specialist nurse, recently spoke in the magazine Sign\u00e9 Gen\u00e8ve<\/a> about the benefits of honey for wound healing. Indeed, nature is truly remarkable: the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties of honey greatly contribute to wound healing.<\/p>\n

Composed mainly of water and fructose, honey contains numerous active components such as inhibins (hormones secreted by bees) and formic acid, which has antiseptic properties. Honey is also acidic, which provides an effective barrier against the spread of bacteria. In addition, the high sugar concentration in honey naturally creates osmotic pressure that neutralizes bacteria. The antiseptic and antibacterial benefits of honey make it an excellent healing agent.<\/p>\n

With the patient's consent, Christian Riesen uses organic thyme honey daily at the ASSAL Center as a remedy for wound healing. Fully committed to eco-friendly healing alternatives, the ASSAL Center strongly supports this approach and also uses fly larvae and acupuncture as treatment methods.<\/p>\n
