Chesnut honey and his properties in wound healing
Out of all types of honey, chestnut honey is exceptional due to its composition. It is made from nectar and honeydew and is therefore a real treasure trove of substances – chestnut honey contains specific amino acids, proteins, enzymes, and elements that promote wound healing. Two of the three basic mechanisms are based on physical characteristics, namely the high sugar content and perfect ratio, as well as the acidic pH. The third mechanism depends on the glucose oxidase enzyme that is added to the honey by the bee.
