Honey might help reduce swelling and blood vessel growth in inflamed areas, based on a test in rats, which could mean it has properties that fight inflammation and block new blood vessels from forming.
Honey might help reduce inflammation in rats by blocking certain chemicals that cause swelling and blood vessel growth, suggesting it could calm down inflammation.
When certain chemicals are blocked in rats, it seems to slow down the growth of new blood vessels, which might explain how this process works.
