Madhupaka – Honey Remedy For Non Healing Wounds, Ulcers

By Dr MS Krishnamurthy MD (Ayu)., PhD.
Ayurveda does not recommend cooking of honey. Honey consumption is even contra indicated during summer or with very hot beverages and food that is freshly made, in hot condition. However, the cooked honey can be used for external application. 

Here is a classical evidence for Madhupaka; cooking of honey along with the herbal ingredients. This formulation is not for internal administration. It is restricted for external application only.
