believe it or not honey was used by ancient Romans to heal wounds.

For at least 2700 years, honey has been used by humans to treat a variety of ailments through topical application, but only recently have the antiseptic and antibacterial properties of honey been chemically explained.

Wound Gels that contain antibacterial honey and have regulatory approval for wound care are now available to help conventional medicine in the battle against drug resistant strains of bacteria MRSA. As an antimicrobial agent honey may have the potential for treating a variety of ailments. One New Zealand researcher says a particular type of honey may be useful in treating MRSA infections.[65] Antibacterial properties of honey are the result of the low water activity causing osmosis, hydrogen peroxide effect,[66] and high acidity.[67]

Honey appears to be effective in killing drug-resistant biofilms which are implicated in chronic rhinosinusitis.[68]

Ground turmeric (i.e. a powder of turmeric), which is commonly found in many Indian kitchens, is also commonly applied to minor cuts, so that they arer clean, and heal quick.

I also found out recently that tea leaves also help.

Also, if you're looking for something in a tube, a lot of people use something called Soframycin Ointment, but I'm not sure if that's available outside the Indian subcontinent.

Boomer - HI! I don't know about the sexiest person, but my birthday party is on Saturday and I'm going to try to take some pictures.

Iron - After my primary care physician told me about the honey I told someone else and they were telling me that it was used a looooong time ago as well. Crazy.

That's cool. I haven't heard any of that. I just couldn't believe how well the honey worked.
