The pictured form illustrates the subject; preparation and identity still determine how information applies.

The short answer

The historical and practitioner record deserves accurate preservation, but the applicable preparation and cultural source should be named. Modern research is highlighted when available without treating lack of research as proof of ineffectiveness. Never give honey to a child younger than 12 months because of infant botulism risk. Food honey is not interchangeable with sterile medical-grade wound products. Consider allergy and sugar intake.
