Wound Care with Euphorbia Honey after Nucleation: A Case Report

Abstract

Honey has been used on wounds since ancient times. The present case report describes the post-operative care of an infected wound by use of honey. The wound was first cleaned with saline, and then the honey ointment was applied gently to the wound, using a glove. Granulation tissue and epithelisation were growing quickly and without complications, and scar formation was fine. Euphorbia honey applied was selected according to their anti- inflammatory, analgesic, and antibacterial capacity as well as their capacity to promote wound healing. Keywords:
