Acceleration of wound healing by topical application of honey: An animal model
1983
Abstract Commercial unboiled honey was applied topically to open wounds of 12 mice. Twelve other mice served as a control group and their wounds were dressed with saline solution only. Wound healing was judged histopathologically by measuring the thickness of granulation tissue, epithelization from the periphery of the wound, and the size of the open wounds.

According to the three mentioned criteria, wounds of the honey-treated animals healed much faster than the wounds of the control animals (p
