Manuka Honey UMF 15+ Wound Cream for Rapid Healing of Minor Injuries, Burns and Cuts | Chemical-Free and Drug-Free First Aid Care | 1.75oz

I got this to try and relieve my 90 yo mom's shingles lesions. She cannot use most pain relievers and this bout was far worse than her first. She has sensory issues and her skin is so delicate that it is hard to find anything she can tolerate long enough for it to work. I've used gel-based manuka honey products before myself with decent results, but I do not care for the stickiness and drag of the gel ointment on my skin. This is superior. The cream is dispensed in a small bead, which makes applying a thin layer far easier. It is non greasy and smoothly emollient, virtually unscented which I think is a good thing. I could apply it to her sensitive side and back and just the application was better than other medicinal creams. It gets absorbed fine--not too rapidly or slowly. She has only used it for two days but thinks she is getting more and better relief than before. I cannot post the appearance of her lesions, but I think they were looking less angry in that pair of days. It may seem a little pricey, but at just about an ounce and a half it is comparable to the other medically prepared honey product I had used, plus the delivery system means no waste. I am a scientist and I am well aware that there are some natural products that may have questionable efficacy (remember that Botulinum is 'natural' ) but the data are pretty compelling as evidence for the healing properties of honey. I recommend this product.

This product is super gentle and works great. I use it on myself and even my dogs sometimes. It helps heal wounds quickly and with minimal scarring. Love it!

My dog had a deep severe ulcer that would not heal and after 21 days of using this 2-3 times daily it completely healed! Love that it’s not super sticky like real honey!

Works great.

It absorbs quickly and uses natural ingredients to promote skin healing. I got this after going through way too may honey ointments that feel more gel-like and boxes of non-stick wound pads to keep the honey off clothes. So overall, better and easier to use than the other sticky honey ointments. More cost efficient in the long run. But might have a higher risk for allergic reaction, plus slightly less effective for healing speed.
