“…Also, Abdullah et al, who studied the effect of honey on mitigating pain after tonsillectomy, pointed out that pain reduction in the honey group was higher than that in the control group. The main difference between this and the present study is that in the former, the participants received honey orally three times a day while honey was gargled by our subjects every six hours (13). Samdariya et al investigated the role of honey in lessening pain after radiation-induced mucositis in head and neck cancer patients and concluded that honey significantly decreased the severity of mucositis-associated pain and overall radiotherapy treatment duration.…”

“…Traditionally, honey has a substantial therapeutic and nutritional value, which is the key property of honey due to carbohydrates such as monosaccharide, fructose, and glucose. Honey accelerates and facilitates wound healing, and its antimicrobial and antiinflammatory properties reduce the ulcer pain, including throat ulcer caused by tonsillectomy/adenotonsillectomy (13).…”

One of the most effective ways recommended for managing pain is exposure to the cold that contributes to the contraction of superficial blood vessels, organ senselessness, and pain relief by reducing both cell metabolism and need for oxygen in tissues (14,15).…”

Objectives: The present study was conducted to compare the effect of gargling normal saline mixed with honey and cold normal saline on postoperative pain relief in children undergoing tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy during 2018. Methods: This clinical trial was performed on 105 children aged 5-14 years. The participants were randomly allocated to three 35-member groups, viz. normal saline mixed with honey, cold normal saline, and the control. The patients underwent general anesthesia and then were operated by a single surgeon. Gargle was administered in the first and second groups every six hours up to 48 hours following the surgery. There was no intervention in the control group. The pain was recorded by the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale (WBS) at the recovery time and 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 hours and 7 days after the surgery. Data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. Results: Among the participants, 47 subjects (44.8%) were males and the rest were females, with a mean age of 8.6 ± 2.5 years. The three groups were similar in terms of sex, weight, duration of surgery, and bleeding during surgery. The pain at the site of surgery during both resting and swallowing was different at 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 hours, and 7 days following the surgery (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Gargling cold normal saline and normal saline mixed with honey led to reduced pain after tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy; however, the latter had a higher effect on the postoperative pain relief.

“…Antinociceptive property of honey is due to its ability to reduce plasma prostaglandins such as thromboxane B2, PGE2 and PGF2a [58,82] . The low water content and low pH (acidic) of honey due to the formation of gluconic acid results to an environment that is not favourable for bacteria to grow thus contributing to its antibacterial property [59] apart from having high viscosity that limits the solubility of oxygen and substances. Apart from that, the enzymatic glucose oxidation reaction also contributes to the antimicrobial property of honey alongside with phenolics and flavonoids [83,84] .…”

Introduction: Honey is one of the oldest traditional medicines. It has been well known that honey contains various components that could be use as treatment option. Most commonly studied honeys include gelam, kelulut, acacia, tualang and pineapple honeys. This review listed the five most commonly studied honeys, its properties and the study model involved.Results: Honey has been reported to have multiple properties. Honeys were used to study their antimicrobial properties which includes antibacterial and antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-ulcer and wound healing, anticancer properties. Interestingly, tualang honey was used to study cognitive function and also used to study its ability to function as an adjuvant. Gelam honey and tualang honey both have been studied to determine their effects on fertility. From these five honeys reviewed, the most studied honey is tualang honey that showed significant impact not only on general health being and wound healoing, but also on cancer, inflammation, infection, oxidative stress, cognitive function as well as potential adjuvant. The studies were carried out on different study model from cell lines (in vitro) animal such as Sprague-dawley rats and Wistar albino rats and also human. Conclusion:Honey is a natural compound with significant impact on health and general well-being. These effects might be due to its phenolics and flavonoid content as well as its involvement as signalling molecule that initiates the possible mechanism that needs to be further clarified in the future in treating and preventing diseases.

“…Manuka honey also shows antioxidant property as it attenuates H 2 O 2 -induced oxidative stress in human whole blood cell (Zivkovic et al 2018). Tualang honey, apart from having anticancer, antiinflammatory, antioxidant and wound healing properties, it also possess antinociceptive property in human and rats (Abdullah et al 2015;Aziz et al 2014). It was reported to improve cognitive function and memory performance (Al-Rahbi et al 2014;Othman et al 2011).…”

Penyelidikan madu lebah (kelulut madu) merupakan bidang baru dalam penyelidikan perubatan. Walaupun ia telah digunakan sebagai makanan tradisional dan tambahan selama berabad-abad, pengetahuan mengenai potensi kesihatannya secara saintifik dan terutama pada sifat antioksidannya masih sedikit. Sifat-sifat antioksidan madu diukur dengan menggunakan asai potensi pengurangan ferio, dan mengukur jumlah kandungan fenol dan flavonoid menggunakan spektrofotometri UV. Kandungan jumlah fenolik, jumlah kandungan flavonoid dan potensi antioksidan penurunan ferum madu kelulut Malaysia yang dihasilkan oleh Trigona spp. didapati 844.45 mg RE/kg madu, 78.29 mg RE/kg madu dan 1132.66 mM FE/ kg madu masing-masing. Penemuan kami menunjukkan korelasi yang kuat antara jumlah fenolik dan kandungan flavanoid dengan potensi antioksidannya pada R 2 = 0.920 dan R 2 = 0.951. Kesan madu pada daya hidup sel selanjar limfoblastoid (LCL) juga diselidiki. Sel-sel dikulturkan dalam medium RPMI-1640 ditambah dengan 0-500 μg/mL madu kelulut selama 24 jam. Daya hidup sel yang diukur menggunakan ujian MTS menunjukkan bahawa suplemen madu meningkatkan daya hidup LCL sehingga 164.64% (p<0.01). Peningkatan ketara dalam daya hidup sel mungkin disebabkan oleh sifat antioksidan madu kelulut.
