Acute pain is any pain that lasts less than 6 months. Most cases of acute pain are due to physical damage such as soft tissue damage of a sprained ankle or a paper cut. Acute pain is relatively more sharp and severe.

Honey is the miraculous product made by bees using nectar from flowers.

The rich golden liquid is considered one of healthy sweet food for replacing the use of white sugar and artificial sweetener by many people.

Researchers on finding a natural ingredient for the pain relief examined the honey effect as an adjunct pain therapy.

The pain relief of honey was the results of the contribution of the numerous phytochemicals and components, including the interaction of protein, amino acid, flavonoids, phenolics, organic acid, pigment, water, and (high) sugar content in honey.

These components work together to relieve pain by exerting the antibacterial, antiinflammation, and immunomodulation properties. 

According to additional differentiation, honey reduced pain through the expression of the level of central and peripheral nervous system or at the autonomic receptor sites involved in pain transmission via the cyclooxygenase pathway in nociception and pain.

Futhermore, in the examined the honey pain relief in post-tonsillectomy treatment with or without adenoidectomy, researchers launched a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study included 140 patients, who were older than eight.

Patients were divided into two equal groups, honey, and placebo. 

Compared the acetaminophen plus honey for the honey group, and acetaminophen plus placebo for the placebo group, researchers found that

* According to the visual analog scale (VAS) and a number of painkillers taken within the first three postoperative days, acetaminophen and acetaminophen plus honey groups showed a statistically significant reduction of pain.

*The reduced use of painkillers differed significantly in every five postoperative days.

* Pain awoke at night are also reduced with no difference between groups.

* Honey injection exerted negligible side effects

These results strongly showed that postoperative honey administration reduces postoperative pain and analgesic requirements in patients after tonsillectomy.

Taken altogether, there is no doubt that honey may be considered a functional remedy for pain relief with little side effects, pending to the confirmation of large sample size and multicenter human study.
