Honey may reduce inflammation in cancer patients



London, July 8 (IANS) A special type of indigenous honey available in New Zealand has special anti-infection properties that may help reduce inflammation in cancer patients, say scientists.

Manuka honey's healing powers have been known for centuries. It has been used as a medicine since the ancient Egyptians, who regarded it as a cure all.

The Christie Hospital in Didsbury, Manchester, have been using special honey-coated dressings at the Manchester Royal Infirmary since May, reported the online edition of BBC News.

'Manuka honey has special anti-inflammatory and anti-infection properties and is believed to reduce the likelihood of infection,' said Nick Slevin, a specialist at the hospital.

The hospital is buying Manuka honey, produced by bees that mainly feed on the Manuka bush from New Zealand, in bulk.

The doctors at the hospital now plan to use it on mouth and throat cancer patients.

According to doctors, 60 patients at the hospital are taking part in a study to see if the honey can prevent infections that may be resistant to antibiotics.
