Honey has significant therapeutic potential because of its antibiotic and antiseptic properties. Honey has been used throughout history as a dressing for wounds. In WWI it was carried into battle to pack the wounds of soldiers until they could get to the surgeons. When honey is mixed with bodily fluids, it produces hydrogen peroxide which prevents the growth of bacteria.
