A study into Apple cider vinegar confirmed its antimicrobial properties and how it can reduce the impact of harmful bacteria on the skin. [1] High-strength Manuka honey – made by bees collecting nectar from New Zealand Manuka bushes – contains the active ingredient methylglyoxal (MGO), which has an antimicrobial [2] and also anti-bacterial effect on the body, according to a 2018 study by Ulster University. [3] In a 2009 German and New Zealand study, researchers suggested honey could speed up the healing process in skin because: [4] honey stimulates the inflammatory response in the body, leading to the regeneration of skin cells and connective tissues the pH level of honey is very low, which reduces infection Neem packs over 140 active compounds that may give it numerous antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Neem leaf extract accelerates wound healing through an increased inflammatory response and the formation of new blood vessels.
