Abstract

Honey has healing powers that are due the facts that it posses the combination of various specific properties including hyper-osmolarity, low pH level, hydroxy peroxide dependent antibacterial or non-hydroxy peroxide dependent antibacterial activity and its antioxidants as well. It can be used as a wound dressing to promote improving healing. Honey has been used to treat acute and chronic wounds in many parts of the world and even in Vietnam with great results.
The authors presents in the report some experiences using irradiated Melaleuca Cajuputi Honey from The Đồng Tháp province for taking care of several pressure ulcers.
