Honey is an excellent antibiotic. It's even effective against antibiotic-resistant strains of strep. It's even shown to minimize scaring when compared to other antibiotic topical remedies. It is thought by some that the antiseptic qualities come from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) that occurs naturally in honey, and that healing properties come from natural occurring glucose which is the primary constituent in honey.
