Oxymel: Scientists say honey and vinegar is a wound-healing power coupleBODY+SOUL
A combination of honey and vinegar has shown promise as a treatment for wound infections, researchers in the UK have discovered.
Our ancestors were onto something when they used honey and vinegar to heal and clean wounds.
Like so many things, these remedies got lots amongst modern practices, but now Warwick University in the UK has discovered the true power behind these natural foods as topical medicines.
In the university’s Sweet and Sour Synergy study, researchers underwent the first comprehensive study of its kind, and what they found was that yes, elements of honey and vinegar have incredible wound healing properties, but when combined in low doses, are even more powerful. This combination is called oxymel.
