Recipe Introduction
Spending more time in the great outdoors means more chances to get scraped by branches, skin your knees, or be burned by a hot grill. If that happens to you or your kids, applying honey will prevent infection and make the cut or burn heal faster than an expensive antibiotic ointment would!

WHY IT WORKS:
"Honey has antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties that kill germs and speed healing for skin injuries," says Kimberly Beauchamp, N.D. In fact, many hospitals now use honey to dress hard-to-treat wounds.
TIP:
While any honey works, the most potent choice is Manuka honey from New Zealand; its unique anti-bacterial agent heals up to 87% of burn wounds within two weeks, according to the British Journal of surgery. Plus, studies show its most effective at healing cuts and scrapes. Find it at www.VitaCost.com
