She's NOT telling lies,guys ! I'm a 67 year old diabetic(diagnosed 27 years ago),had a small cut on one foot,treated it with the usual stuff,seemed to be healed,so dispensed with the bandage to get air to it ,but a new brace that needed a bit more fitting ground an abrasive sock into it,resulting in an ulcer,which became infected-so it was off to my friends at the local wound center,and weekly visits and treatments,several potions were used,and slowly started healing things,then things seemed to be standing still,so the doctor decided to try medihoney(they had the stuff there),worked very fast to heal things nicely (getting the brace adjusted helped as well, ),I now have my own supply at home ! If you have a wound center within range,use it if needed,they can do wonders !,Waiting too long is a BAD idea,and makes for unneeded adventures (don't ask how I know that !)
as it turns out, one should never let a wound dry out... It should always be kept covered and moist with a daily fresh bandage. Especially on the feet, it must be kept covered to prevent pathogen entry, to protect from abrasion, and to keep the wound moist until entirely healed... A dry wound is an impediment to healing.
As a wound care specialist and RN. I use these products often with great results. They also make sheets of these products that you can cut to size and place them in wounds. They seem to work much better for me.
Coming from a medical professional, you did a fantastic review of this product. I’ve seen it heal time and time again. You did a great job explaining everything!
I had a foot op to remove a big growth ,the stitches failed and this left me with a massive hole in my foot I did not have the money for plastic surgery to fill the hole.I decided to use 9% hydrogen peroxide for cleaning the hole twice a day filled it with NORMAL OVER THE SHELF BOUGHT HONEY covered it with gauze and plaster strips .The hole took 2 months to fill up with new flesh and heal closed.I Hope this helps someone.
I’ve seen this heal my friends spider bite that 3 days of IV antibiotics weren’t working making it worse and hospital offered holistic and they used medihoney and it healed it overnight. So amazing now trying on my dad diabetes feet hoping for the best!
Thank you for sharing your experience!! I also have a perineum tear from child delivery and I’ve been restitched 4 times and it’s still not healed 5 months later. I am going to give this a try and pray it works !! Thank you for sharing !!
My hospital's wound care team used this exclusively on a (diabetic foot) spider bite. I loved it so much that I bought a bigger tube of the gel for home. It's great for diabetics who especially get bad wounds that dont heal well.
My surgical incision is spitting sutures. It has had open sores for over 2 weeks now with almost no improvement, despite the offending sutures being removed. I have now started getting a rash from prescribed neomycin spray, so I started applying Medihoney today. My wound’s not infected and my surgeon is always a phone call away. This is prophylaxis, and I just want this to heal quickly so the scar won’t need a revision. It was itchy for about 10 minutes after application but nothing intolerable, we’ll see how it goes!
So I got in a accident I’m an 11 year old girl; I fell of my bike at camp on rocks. On (a speed bump ) a rock ripped my skin on my elbow and my knee was bleeding so an adult put medihoneyon my knee and my elbow; not even 24hours it healed so quick! For my injury on My elbow it had some green ooze it’s just the medihoney working!!
I am currently using it on my second-degree burn, today is the 12th day of the burn and I have been using this product since day 2. I have been taking pictures of each day progress as well, till now the wound is doing really great.
I ordered the Medihoney gel off amazon, my doctor said that if i used it, he wouldnt need to debride my ulcers. I got it today and used it for the first time on my diabetic leg ulcers tonight. Both legs burned really bad after I applied the Medihoney directly on the ulcers, the right leg eventually stopped burning, but the left leg continued to burn to the point where an hour after the application, I had to remove the dressing and Medihoney and use lidocaine gel to get it to stop hurting. I don't think it's the Medihoneys fault, that leg always hurts even when my doctor debrides the wounds. Just wanted to let people know that in some cases, it might hurt to use Medihoney. This is my first experience with this product, I don't think my experience is typical, more like rare.
Prence: I have ulcers on both lower legs. I don't have diabetes but have a lot of edema due to varicose veins and poor circulation. Each time I have used MediHoney, it STINGS AND BURNS really bad. I have to take Tramadol or Vicodin to relieve tha pain which finally subsides after a couple of hours. I don't take pain meds otherwise. This young lady didn't say anything about pain from putting this on a wound. So I wonder how severe her wounds actually were. Hope you have success with your leg ulcers treatment. Thanks.
Thanks. I'm currently seeing Wound Care 2 times a week and am taking 7.5mg tabs of hydrocodone 2 times a day for the pain I'm experiencing. Without the hydrocodone, I can't walk. That's how bad it is for me. Medihoney might work for some people, but it hurts too much for me to use. I was reading something the other day about people that are hypersensitive to pain, in my case I might be hypersensitive because everything hurts when it comes to my leg ulcers. As far as her wounds go, I have no clue. I just know what I'm feeling, and I can't use Medihoney because it stings and burns. I did talk to my wound care doctor, she said some patients experience pain when using Medihoney. It's rare but it does happen. Just wanted to put that out there for people to know. I hope Medihoney works for everyone that needs it.
Pence: I have the MediHoney Paste and read the information insert. It does say that "stinging or burning may occur due to the low pH of the MediHoney" and to take analgesics for the pain. If not relieved, then remove the dressing. I have had to take the dressing off a couple of times within a few minutes after applying it also. Fortunately I have a pretty high pain tolerance, but this stinging and burning is something I have never felt. I think the manufacturers of MediHoney should say up front and in these videos that using the product can result in stinging and burning when applied. If doctors are going to advise its' use, they should give the product information to the patient. I hope you have a good outcome with your leg ulcer treatment. Thanks.
I didn't get an insert with my order, just had some instructions on both the box and tube. I bought the paste to use, it was very thick and I had to warm up the tube before I could use it. It was really thick. I wish you well with your ulcers. Doesn't seem that mine wants to go away. Oh well, it is what it is. And this doesn't help me.
Pence: I hope you open this reply. There is a YT video titled "Novel Approach to Chronic Wounds" and features a product called Enluxtra Self Adaptive wound dressings. (The video is on the top of the Up Next list as I've come back to see yesterday's reply.) I watched their video and ordered a box of 10 on eBay. Since I haven't gone to Kaiser for care yet, I wanted to try to control my ulcers with some accepted products first. You are going for would care, so perhaps your doctor should review this product if you haven't already used it. I don't know if you are MediCare eligible, but it is covered under Part B for 30 dressings a month. The direct web address is www.AnyWound.com and gives a lot of information basically for providers, but also for patients. Their videos also say what gels or ointments can be used as well as cannot be used with the pads. MediHoney is one NOT to use with the pads. I found Enluxtra mentioned by a RU-vidr when I looked for stasis ulcer treatment. Take care of yourself, Pence.
I have "weeping" eczema on my lower legs, and it looks like manuka honey wound gel is one of the few topical treatments which won't interfere with my thyroid meds (as iodine and silver-based products would). I just ordered my first tube of this stuff from Amazon today, and look forward to trying it this weekend.
And did the patient get good results? I'm so sorry fr my bluntness but i need to be assured of application time took to heal. I need something proven to work to heal pressures in elderly. Thank you for your jind infom
Great video ! Thank you . Very informative. I was researching the benefits of honey and you answered every question I had ! Again thank you for sharing. Subscribed
Hi Rebekah! I just use raw honey (amzn.to/2qqBZnq), massage about a dime size between my fingers and into my face. You can leave it on your face for 5-10 minutes for deep cleansing. Then, wash off and let your face air dry or gently pat dry...I avoid towel-wiping my face so I don't strip its natural oils. The honey has to be raw in order to have the anti-bacterial properties and probiotics that are good for the skin. I love that unlike most face-washes , honey doesn't strip the skin but actually nourishes it. Let me know if you try it!
MediHoney stings and burns a lot when I put it on my leg ulcers. So bad I have to take Tramadol or VIcodin for the pain which lasts for a couple of hours. I don't have to take pain med otherwise for the leg ulcers. She didn't mention pain with use of MediHoney.
Pain is definitely an issue when using medihoney. Many of my patients cannot tolerate medihoney due to pain. There are many options that can be used instead of medihoney and are very helpful. Given your post was 2 years ago, I am hoping your all healed by now.
@@nursemummy9875 Thank you for your reply. I tried to home medicate using different medicines and finally went to my health plan provider which fortunately has wound care for out patients. A big part of my treating at home for so long are my mobility issues which prevented me from going out whenever I wanted. (Bone on bone arthritis both knees-no cartilage) which also caused a great deal of pain. I had to 'bite the bullet' and get hospital wound care which finally healed my leg ulcers, however it was a long process. Contributing factor is bilateral lower leg edema which interferes with normal healing due to stretching-relaxing of the skin. Aging also makes the skin less elastic and thinner so we seniors have more chances to develop leg ulcers caused by different occurrences. Now I can say I won't be so stubborn and wait to get medical treatment if this happens again. Stay well and safe. North Hills CA USA 11-19-2020
Thank you for the review. Can you please let me know if I need to wash the area with antibacterial soap after every dressing change or just change dressing and add more honey? Thank you..
Now how much this medihoney my mother she is suffering from leg pain from one year.Now it is some area in leg skin is turning black may be it started ulcers so I want to by this.
Can this be applied to a bad open wound? My son s car fell on his hand snd it took a big chunk out of his thumb. We are having a time with it. I have to dress it everyday and it doesn’t want to heal.
Madam! I got a infection in my wound by nail scratching on the skin of my above ankle. I do dressing every day 2 times a day by myself but the infections doesnt heal by dressing by using ointments. It does not heal and infections doesnt drain. I used antibiotic tablets. If I use medihoney does the infections will drain out. Pls help
Safe to use manuka honey on a hot boiling water burn? Burned my hand from boiling water from ramen noodles few days ago. It was very red and burning at the moment and a blister. Did put my hand in the shower head cool water for a bit. It is still red. Are there any risks in smearing manuka honey over my fingers/hands to help the burn? There is a blister on one of my fingers so safe to use manuka honey even on the blister spot?
By mistake I applied body wash on my skin and left it overnight coz I thought it is a lotion and in the morning my skin got Ruined, every part of face got red and it started itching and irritating and now I can't even open my mouth to speak and eat it is hurting Lyk hell, wat should I do could anyone plz suggest me?
This stuff works really good however, better/faster results buy a jar of raw Manuka honey ( the key ingredient in Medihoney) it's much cheaper by volume and is actually what they make this product out of.....Walmart $25-26.
I notice a lot of people keep on speaking about Fopobiacne Secrets. But I'm not sure if it is good. Have you ever tried using this popular acne treatment?
