Honey is also something that was traditionally used for wounds, and most people have some in the house. While most supermarket honeys these days are highly processed and maybe shouldn’t be used, a more natural / pure honey could be good for smaller / minor cuts. There is actually plenty of new research being done based on the UMF manuka honey for its benefits in wound use, such that they are now using it in hospitals. But for small cuts, have a try with what you have at home.
