Treating Eczema With Meliponine Honey

So much has been said about the medicinal benefits of meliponine honey, proven by clinical and laboratory tests conducted by various universities and agencies in Malaysia. We decided to put it to test ourselves in our clinic run by alternative medicine practitioner Dr. Aniza Zain Ahmed.

A female patient, in her fifties had approached us for treatment for eczema on both her legs. She had a previous history eczema and due to recent environmental changes in her work, in addition to stress and hormonal changes, the problem recurred. She had been suffering from this condition for the last three months in which she had tried various natural medicines to no avail.

When we met her on the 11th of June, the eczema was already at chronic stage, her legs were sore, red, swollen and inflamed. The skin was thick and crusted and where it cracked, there was stinging pain. From inside the leg, she felt a throbbing pain. She was feeling miserable, and had been unable to sleep for quite a while now. Her left leg was in worse condition than her right; it was so bad that she did not allow us to show it here.

The affected areas were first carefully cleaned with cider vinegar, a powerful natural antiseptic. We then applied a thin layer of raw, fresh meliponine honey all over the affected areas. Her feet were then bandaged to protect the parts of her skin which were open due to the severity of the eczema.
   

Meliponine honey has powerful
antibacterial and anti-inflammation
properties besides containing loads of
antioxidants.

Only two substances were used to treat the skin,
cider vinegar as an antiseptic (above)
and meliponine honey (right).

The patient was asked to repeat the simple procedure

at home before sleeping. She was  instructed to apply only a light bandage to allow the skin to breath and heal faster.

Imagine her relief and delight when she woke up in the 

morning, the pain was almost gone and her legs felt light. The swelling had subsided considerably. Much to her surprise, the eczema had dried and parts of the skin was already starting to peel off.

12th of June, a day after treatment started. This is the patient's
left leg.

13 June - most parts of the skin had dried and come off,
revealing new, smooth skin.

18 June - a week after treatment commenced, the
skin is 80% healed.

25 June - the eczema had cleared up completely
after just about two weeks of treatment. 

The patient was also advised to drink lots of plain water and cider vinegar with water to detoxify her body. She was also given propolis to take orally to strengthen her immune system.
