Abstract |
Wound healing is a
complex process involving several overlapping stages with many
internal and external factors playing different important roles. Healing
of wounds can be hindered in special cases and successful management
becomes a serious challenge to the practitioner. Over the years, many
natural and synthetic products have been tried in both human and animals
in the hope that they facilitate the process of healing especially in
unusual wounds. The main objective of this review was to collect
documented scientific data regarding the use of a very special type of
honey (Sidr honey) and its use for open wound management as well as its
chemical and medicinal characteristics. In addition, a more
comprehensive literature review of the most recent topical wound healing
products is also provided.
