for Boils
Medical-grade manuka honey has antibacterial properties and is sometimes applied to skin infections and wounds.
How it works
Methylglyoxal and hydrogen peroxide in manuka honey inhibit bacterial growth including Staphylococcus aureus.
What to watch for
Use medical-grade product only. Not a replacement for medical drainage in established boils.
