Reduce proud flesh formation

Help wounds close more cleanly with less scarring
🦠 2. Natural Antibacterial Properties

-
Reduce bacterial load in wounds
-
Lower the risk of infection
-
Assist in healing problematic or slow-healing wounds
🔥 3. Anti-Inflammatory Effects
Manuka honey can calm irritated tissue and reduce inflammation, making it useful for:

Swollen or inflamed wound edges
-
Minor skin irritations
🧼 4. Provides Gentle Debridement
It helps break down necrotic (dead) tissue naturally, which supports:
-
Cleaner wound beds

Healthier granulation tissue

Less need for mechanical debridement
🐴 5. Soothes Gastric Irritation (with caution)
Some horse owners use medical-grade Manuka honey to help:
