Honey has many therapeutic properties such as anti-acteria, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, immune booster, and cell growth stimulator. It also promotes wound healing. Diabetic patients are at increased risk of having infection over the foot (diabetic foot) due to presence of peripheral neuropathy and peripheral vascular disease.

It also soothes the pain, non-irritating, gives no secondary reactions and its allergy is rare. It is a cost-effective method of dressing that can be used in underdeveloped countries.
