A prospective study was carried out in two groups of 42 randomly allocated patients with partial-thickness burns to compare the effect of honey alone with that of honey fortified with antioxidants (vitamin C and vitamin E) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) 4000. Bums treated with honey plus antioxidants and PEG healed earlier than those treated with honey alone (mean 6.4 (lays versus 8.3). In this study the addition of antioxidants and PEG 4000 accelerated the healing properties of honey in burns.
