Heather honey is now getting known for its properties to even kill strains of bacteria that cause MRSA and other types of bacteria as well, researchers from Glasgow University's School of Veterinary Medicine found.
Dr Patrick Pollock, an equine surgeon said these findings could be a great blessing for treating humans and animals.
"If we were able to use locally-sourced, cheaper honey as a wound dressing, it would be very beneficial particularly in poorer countries," said Dr Pollock.

Manuka honey could inhibit the growth of cancer cell types including breast, skin, and colon cancer, say researchers.
Dr Pollock said: "Honey is useful in equine medicine, particularly on wounds to legs. There is not much fat on the lower half of horses' legs so can take a long time to heal, or even never fully heal at all."
In cases of injury, anti-bacterial honey is a blessing as it improves healing, cleans the wound and keeps it infection free.
