Injured horse saved from being put to sleep after honey treatment!
Life is sweet for a horse named Miracle who was close to being put to sleep after suffering a gash on her leg - when she was nursed back to health with HONEY.

There is a balm and spray called Corigem, made from bee propolis. I bought the balm on Amazon for my cats and dog to treat things like wounds, yeast infections/ring worm, hot spots, etc., but it's also for horses. I just purchased it two weeks ago (after seeing many good reviews), so I can't say yet how effective or ineffective it is.

yes we use propolis with our animals as well! it is great at treating wounds, getting rid of infections!
of course, works just as great on humans... this is just a curious find, as it makes one wonder, how many animals could have been saved using natural alternatives, such as honey!

What type of honey did you use? manuka?

Recent studies found that Easter Island bees are free from mites, viruses and bacteria that are present in the rest of the planet. Isolation kept them untouched for over 150 years. As a result they could be considered as a unique species. Bees were brought in Easter Island by priests around 1850 and since then they have been pollinating mangoes, pineapples, bananas, guavas and meadow flowers.

How to avoid..... ants? I guess you just wrap it tight?

I wish "scientists" would find a way to replicate the healing power of honey, so that we did not have to steal it from the already-beleaguered bees. . . .

Yes, I agree... We really do take without consideration!

This reminds me of what soldiers battling the "guerrillas" in my country mountains use when they have open wounds and the closest doctor or nurse is kilometers away. The have in their backpacks something called "panela" or "piloncillo" in another countries. It's basically made pouring sugar cane molasses in molds and let them to to air dry, to create this brick shape sweet substance we cook some desserts with. We use it on pets there when we can't afford a vet. We use honey too but is expensive while "panela" is very cheap.
For wounds any honey would do it!

In at least one of the University Hospitals in the Chicago area they are using Medihoney Gel, by Derma Sciences (contains 80% active Leplospoermum Honey) for Burns and wounds in the ICU. It works well!

Years ago a relative was in hospital bed recovering from an appendicitis surgery and the wound was getting infected from within and getting ugly. He was very young he did not want to stay in the hospital any longer so we brought him some shredded panela and putting it on the wound while we were visiting and no nurses around. The healing was so fast! no antiobiotics or anything! We use it on pets there when we can't afford a vet. Nature is awesome!! We bought the idea of modern medicine as the only answer for us and it's not.
This is so interesting, and it makes sense, too. It is funny to call these methods "alternative," because not long ago, this was the only way! And look, humanity survived... I'd say there is more disease now that there is an industrial age!

manuka honey is a miracle food. the list of benefits is long. It's kind of expensive, but well worth adding to your health pantry.
I've often thought that us humans might be better served, health wise, by seeking remedy from veterinarians. Farmers especially need to keep their animals healthy for profit. They can't risk treating the animals using the same protocols humans obtain from their conventional physicians. They know it doesn't work, as it fails humans already. Trust Mother Nature.
