https://www.omicsonline.org/treatment-of-cutaneous-leishmaniasis-by-topical-application-of-honey-2155-9597.1000110.php?aid=271A group of 50 hamsters was infected with leishmaniasis, then separated into two groups. One group received the conventional treatment of intravenous injections of Sodium stibogluconate (pentostam) and took 12-16 weeks to heal. The other group received daily topical application of raw honey, and took 4 weeks to heal.
AV suggested raw honey application for all sorts of skin conditions and lesions, for many decades before studies such as this came out.
It's true that raw honey has been known to have healing properties on the skin for millenia, but the medical industry has largely ignored, minimized or ridiculed this ancestral knowledge, in favor of chemical pharmaceutical drugs.
