The video isn't coming through for me but I do know that honey is supposed to have super anti-bacterial properties. If you have a cut or sore, put some honey on, cover with a bandage and it's supposed to kill bacteria, help prevent infection and speed healing.

It has worked for me in the past. You have to pay very close attention to having the wound very clear before using the honey. It does seem to speed healing.

Raw honey has antiseptic and antibiotic properties. The honey you get in the store is probably not as effective because of the processing. Anytime I'm out and about if I see someone selling raw honey I buy it!
