Background: Burns are one of the most common accidental injuries in the community. Improper treatment of burns can lead to disability and even death. Applying topical therapy aims to reduce excessive collagen repositioning and accelerate healing. We tried treating burn wounds with an ointment that uses a combination of cherry leaf extract and manuka honey to test the effectiveness of wound healing.
Case presentation: We report two cases of superficial burns that underwent wound treatment using an ointment containing cherry leaf extract and manuka honey.
Conclusion: Wound treatment with an ointment containing cherry leaf extract and manuka honey can speed up the healing process in patients with superficial second-degree burns.Authors retain copyright and grant the journal right of first publication with the work simultaneously licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License that allows others to share the work with an acknowledgement of the work's authorship and initial publication in this journal.
