Abstract

Arılar tarafından üretilen bal, çok eski zamanlardan bu yana birçok hastalığın tedavisinde kullanıl-maktadır. Bal, veteriner hekimlik alanında en çok yara tedavisinde kullanılmıĢtır. Yara tedavisinde bal kullanılması ile yaranın iyileĢmesi sağlanır ve sistemik antibiyotik kullanımına gerek kalmadan bakte-rileri elimine edilir. Burada balın en önemli özelliklerinden birisi antibakteriyel etkisidir. Bu etki balın pH’sı, içerdiği hidrojen peroksit, osmotik etkisi ve içeriğinde bulunan fitokimyasal ajanlardan kaynak-lanmaktadır. Bal yaralardaki yangısal ödemi azaltarak yara iyileĢmesine olumlu etki yapar ve yara ile ilgili komplikasyonların azalmasına yardımcı olur. Sonuç olarak hayvanlarda geniĢ ve enfekte yarala-rın tedavisinde bal kullanılması alternatif, etkili ve ekonomik bir yaklaşımdır.

Wound Treatment Using Honey in Veterinary Practice

Abstract

Goal: The aim of this paper is to review the effects of
honey for wound treatment as alternative method in veterinary medicine.

Introduction: Honey which is natural product of bees has been used
in the management of wound healing since ancient times. Honey has gone on as a
medicine into present day folk-medicine. The increasing attention in the use of
alternative therapy methods is the result of the development of antibiot-ic
resistance in bacteria becoming a major problem. Honey is totally natural and
organic product for medicine both human and animal. Honey has some
physiological actions that would give therapeutic effects. Therapeutic properties
of honey are anti-bacterial activity, boosting the immune system,
anti-inflammatory action, antioxidant activity and stimu-lation of cell growth.
Honey has different actions in therapeutic applications for example in wound
dressing, in treating diarrhea, peptic ulcers and gastritis. The most important
point in the therapeu-tic actions refers to hydrogen peroxide.

Discussion
and Conclusion: The
selection of honey for medical use must be taking into account and this
condition has been discussed and the point raised that until the importance of
the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant components of honey have been
established, only the antibacterial activi-ty of honey for use as a medicine
can be standar-dized. Honey has been used in Veterinary Medicine especially in
wound healing. Using honey in the wound management enhances healing and
elimi-nates invading bacteria without the use of systemic antibacterial drugs.
Honey has bactericidal and antibacterial effects by liberation of hydrogen
perox-ide. Besides, these effects have been attributed to pH, osmotic effect,
and a phytochemical constituent that enhances sterilization. It decreases
inflammatory edema, attracts macrophages, accelerates necrotic tissue
sloughing, provides a local cellular energy source, and forms a protective
protein layer over the wound. In guidance of the likely impor-tance of all of
these components, the need for fur-ther research to describe their content, so
that ho-neys can be selected to give the best results when used as a medicine. Consequently
the use of honey can be an alternative, effective and economical approach for
management of large and infected wounds in Veterinary Practice both small and
large animals.
