Honey-based products for feet, a major discovery in podiatry
Using honey in pedicure/podiatry is not a recent discovery. The idea came to the HoneyPatch company after a reflection on healing gels. Indeed, these tend to act only on the surface, which limits their healing power. They then wondered if honey dressings, already used for horses, were effective or not on human skin, if they were able to heal in depth and if they were good care products. Thus were born the HoneyPatch products.
The benefits of honey-based balms for foot skin
You may be wondering what is the advantage of using honey to treat foot skin. It actually has a strong healing power. It repairs the epidermis gently, but surely and makes the new layer firmer and more resistant. It is thus possible to treat both small wounds and cracks or even ingrown toenails. This product is even effective when it comes to healing burns, no matter how serious they are.
How to properly use a healing ointment for feet or a honey balm ?
To treat a wound with honey properly, it is important to know how to do it right.
Packing is a significant step in applying a balm or honey ointment. But what is it ? It is actually the placement of a packing accompanied by honey-soaked copoline to treat the inflammation caused by the ingrown toenail. Healing honey is also used directly on a wound that is then covered with a compress. Packing with ointment is not used to prevent recurrence but to treat the redness and wound in the grooves.
So, be sure to soak a compress or dressing with honey for an effective result.
HoneyPatch packings are made using a so-called "airless" bottle. This is most often used for at-risk individuals who need sterile equipment. Indeed, the slightest transmission of bacteria can have serious repercussions on their health. The bottles are designed so that air cannot enter to prevent any accident and for hygiene reasons.
For ingrown toenails, the technique is the same, except that it must be used on the sides of the nail to be effective.
