In this study, researchers from Saudi Arabia compared the antibacterial activity of Saudi honeys with known geographical origins with that of medically graded Manuka honey. Their findings were published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that Sumra honey can be used as an alternative medicine for wound infections and burns, as these require additional hydrogen peroxide-related antibacterial activity.
