Does it help to put honey on a lip piercing?

The only honey you should use for cuts burns or wounds is manuka honey (which is a Newzealand honey or a honey that has a high AAH (antibacterial antioxidant honey). Just your usual honey will not do much at all. As for applying it to a piercing I wouldn't apply it straight onto the piercing as the piercing will not be able to "breathe" properly and may make it worse for the infection. The best thing to do would be to put a teaspoon of the honey into half a cup of warm boiled water and then wash the piercing with that solution. Also, just as another hint.. buy a GOOD essential Tea Tree oil ( at most health shops). Tea Tree is an antibacterial, antiseptic and antifungal oil and you can apply this neat to the skin with a cotton bud or you can put about 5 drops of it into a small amount of cooled boiled water as a wash.
