After researching the kind of honey used for treatment of wounds, I found that most sources said that local honey was best. That makes sense to me, because perhaps the more local it is, the better suited it is for the disease-causing organisms of a particular area. We get an organic, raw, unfiltered honey produced within 15 miles of our house, when it is available. When it is not available, I get one made about 50 miles away. I ‘feel’ that the more local honey does better, but I have no solid proof of that. Both of them have been effective when I’ve used them, so maybe there is no difference.
