Honey for Quick First Aid

Natural remedies have always been a part of history. In the past, our knowledge of medicine was incredibly limited, so these cures were really all we had to rely on. As time went on though, natural cures advanced and evolved into modern day medicine. Because of this, many people believe that natural cures don’t have any place in society because they are just too dated. For some treatments, this is certainly true, but many of these cures are still viable today. These remedies don’t always have to be just for treating sicknesses. Sometimes they can be great for treating pain or other common types of injuries. Many of these cures use common ingredients that are very easy to come by, and also relatively inexpensive to purchase, especially compared to how much modern day medicine can cost. One type of natural remedy that has been in existence for thousands of years is honey.
In the past, honey was often used for treating injuries, something that can still be true today. When applied onto a cut, it acts as a natural type of antibiotic. Honey can even be used to help heal burns, although this requires multiple treatments. It is also commonly known for being soothing on sore throats, helping to reduce the pain as well as reducing swelling. Honey generally shouldn’t be used as the primary means of first aid, but it can work in situations where someone needs to quickly apply first aid, and in the cases of minor cuts and the like it can often be enough. Another great use of honey is using it to treat minor injuries on pets, since you can’t always slap a bandage on them, and smaller injuries aren’t worth the hassle of going to see a vet and getting stuck with an expensive bill.
