CRD SUMMARY: This review assessed the therapeutic efficacy of honey. The authors concluded that honey was a suitable alternative for wound healing, burns and skin conditions, and potentially in cancer care. These conclusions were based on largely poor quality or unrandomised evidence. Several of the higher quality studies favoured the comparator treatment. The reliability of the conclusions is unclear.
