"Half patients were treated with the topical honey once weekly and the other half served as control. All the patients responded markedly with application of honey. Itching was relieved and scaling was disappeared within one week. Skin lesions were healed and disappeared completely within 2 weeks. In addition, patients showed subjective improvement in hair loss. None of the patients ( 15 patients) treated with honey application once weekly for six months showed relapse while the 12/15 patients who had no prophylactic treatment with honey experienced a relapse of the lesions 2-4 months after stopping treatment."The conclusion of the study was that, "crude honey could markedly improve seborrheic dermatitis and associated hair loss and prevent relapse when applied weekly." So, how does honey work its magic? One explanation is that chronic seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff are caused by the overgrowth of natural skin pathogens, including fungi known as dermatophytes, and honey is an excellent broad spectrum antibacterial and antifungal. It also has significant wound-healing and anti-inflammatory properties, making it ideal for the treatment of inflammatory and pathogen-associated skin conditions.

Honey has been considered one of nature's most remarkable gifts to mankind since ancient Indian (vedic) civilization. [ii] In ancient Egyptian culture honey was the most popular drug mentioned: 500 times in 900 remedies.[iii] We can assume humankind's appreciation for honey as both a medicine and food stretches back much further, as intimated by 8,000 year old Stone Age paintings.[iv] Presently, the GreenMedInfo.com database contains research on over 50 health benefits associated with honey use.
