Medicinal Manuka Honey
Effective Gangrene Treatment

gangrene Is there a gangrene treatment? What is Gangrene? Fournier’s gangrene is treated successfully with Manuka honey thanks to this particular, remarkable medicinal honey.

Fournier’s gangrene has been successfully treated with Manuka Honey by Dr Peter Molan who has dedicated most of his life into the research of the medical benefits of honey.

A large portion of individuals who are diagnosed with gangrene are afflicted with a chronic disease, such as diabetes mellitus. Although many individuals are familiar with the term diabetes, the term "gangrene" is often extremely foreign to them.

What is Gangrene?

How do you get it? What are its symptoms? How can you prevent it? Educating yourself regarding an illness is an important factor in dealing with it both emotionally and physically.

A really good start would be to have a good supply of Manuka Honey in your own cupboards. If you or a loved one is ever diagnosed with gangrene or at risk, not only you will now be armed with all the information you need regarding this remarkable medicinal honey, you will also have the gangrene treatment to hand.



Gangrene occurs when there is a lack of blood supply to an extremity. The tissue begins to turn black and decay. More often than not, gangrene is the result of a complication from surgery, from an injury, an infectious disease or even a chronic disease such as in the case of diabetes, in which case you will need this gangrene treatment.

If it is a complication after surgery, it usually occurs when the wound becomes infected with bacteria (Strep, Staph or Clostridia). It is then possible that the bacteria could spread to other organs of the body or enter the bloodstream for a complete body infection.

This is extremely dangerous, the results of which can cause a life threatening situation and has been known to cause death in many cases. Get some Manuka, stock up and have this gangrene treatment ready.

Another scenario would be when oxygen is cut off to a certain part of the body, halting the blood supply to that particular area. If oxygen is cut off for an extended period of time that particular part of the body (like a finger or toe) dies and gangrene can set in.

Although gangrene can be devastating, it is much better to be armed with the knowledge about the disease rather than not. Could you possibly fathom having a finger or toe decaying and not having any idea of what is causing it?

Gangrene unfortunately spreads extremely rapidly. If the body is unable to fight off the infection, the next step often leads to amputation of the infected area.

In most cases the reason the body can not fight off the infection is due to a compromised immune system or severe medical condition.

Examples of this would include illnesses such as diabetes, a hernia, frostbite, severe burns, IV drug use to name just a few. How does someone know that they have developed gangrene?

Symptoms of Gangrene

When looking at a wound, you will firstly notice a red swelling around the wound that is rapidly getting worse not better. Severe pain will be prevalent at the beginning of the spread of gangrene.

As the gangrene progresses the tissue will die and the pain will be replaced by numbness in the area. Clear or cloudy fluid oozing from the wound, even fluid filled blisters or blisters filled with blood are also possible.

Skin is either a deep red or a deep white at the beginning. It is possible that the color will change to black as the tissues decompose. You will also note a terrible odor coming from the infected area.

Although the above symptoms refer to a few of the symptoms of gangrene, there are many others. These symptoms were listed to impress upon the fact that this is an extremely severe illness. Prevention is Always Better than Cure!

How Does Manuka Honey Help Gangrene?

Manuka Honey acts as a barrier preventing wounds from becoming infected. Gangrenous tissue and necrotic tissue are rapidly replaced with granulation tissue when medicinal honey is used as a dressing. A minimum of surgical debridement is then required.

An observation of this proved that under honey dressings, gangrenous tissue was separated so that it could be lifted off painlessly.

Because Manuka honey cleans infected wounds so effectively, it acts as a deep cleansing of wounds even deodorizing the foul smell.
