Advanced biomedical research has identified specific plants that produce honey with exceptional antibacterial activity.

In all the long history of wound care, no period has seen as dramatic a change as the last decade. The new paradigm of moist wound healing has significantly improved outcomes and has helped clinicians make knowledge-based decisions affecting the healing process.

As wound fluid enters the dressing, the honey is released while the dressing absorbs and forms a gel During autolysis the body breaks down tissue or cells. A moist environment, created by ALH dressings, aids the body’s own process of moisturizing and re-hydrating, thus loosening and liquefying necrotic tissue.

ALH creates an osmotic effect, which occurs when the high sugar content of honey facilitates movement of fluid from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Lymph fluid is drawn from the deeper tissue to the wound surface. The constant flow of lymph fluid cleanses debris and lifts necrotic tissue from the wound.

It comes in both prescription-strength and over-the-counter formulas and provides a safe, effective, way to manage burns, arterial ulcers, and surgical wounds.
