Researchers in a study published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine suggested that regular application of honey for a few weeks can cure deep scars or keloids too. They found that Tualang honey decreased the number of proliferated cells in the keloid, thus may help prevent the formation of keloid scars. According to the researchers, “the positive effect of Tualang honey to keloid fibroblasts suggest the role of Tualang honey in minimising scarring.”
