Qatar To determine the efficacy, cost effectiveness and acceptability of natural honey on the healing of chronic foot ulcers at primary care level. Case series
The wound site of patients with chronic foot ulcers were rinsed with normal saline, natural honey was applied to the wound and covered with glycerin- impregnated gauze. Patients were followed on a daily basis for four weeks.
Sample size = 12 All ulcers healed with no contractures or scars on average of three weeks. The dressing budget reduced by 75%, satisfaction was high among patients and pain was significantly reduced. Honey had antimicrobial effect and eliminated malodour.

To investigate the susceptibility of biofilms of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa (PA) to Medihoney in vitro. In Vitro study
Biofilms were cultivated in micro titre plates with and without different concentrations of Medihoney and the effects on the biofilms were monitored. Manuka honey is effective against certain biofilms but its effect on polymicrobial biofilms requires further research. Low sugar concentrations support microbial growth therefore it was found that high
