In order to know the effects of application of honey to wounds (that is, in their healing process), the following question was formulated: "How does the application of honey to wounds contribute to their treatment?". To carry out the work, the seven steps in the Cochrane Handbook were followed. Using this process, it was possible to assemble a set of studies that followed the previously-defined criteria for inclusion and exclusion. The analysis showed that honey can be beneficial in the healing of wounds; however, no definitive conclusions are possible. This review opens doors for further research to be undertaken in this area.
