Honey for wound care in the 21st century.
This review is written in memory of Professor Peter Molan, who published a paper in the Journal of Wound Care in 1999 describing the therapeutic properties of honey in relation to wound care. It provides an update to show how our understanding of the mode of action of honey has changed within the past 17 years.
Professor of Microbiology, Centre for Biomedical, Sciences, Cardiff School of Health Sciences, Cardiff Metropolitan University, Western Avenue, Cardiff.
