Back in December, I wrote a post about how scientists had found that taking a spoonful of honey could help suppress a cough. There was some dissent in the comments about whether or not the finding was true, although several people wrote in to say that they had had positive experiences soothing a ragged cough with honey.
Whether or not it will help with a cough, apparently honey can help to ease the pain of minor burns. In recent studies, scientists have found that honey has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. So next time you burn yourself in the kitchen, grab that jar of honey and dab a little on for some relief.
