Herbs, plants extracts, essential oils, and honey are the most common sources for these new active compounds, and these products have been found to be effective against a range of bacterial infections and inflammatory cases. The increase in the resistance of pathogenic bacteria to antibiotics is also an increasingly important factor behind the growing interest in the use of these natural compounds. Furthermore, the study of such natural compounds may lead to the discovery of an active component that could be used to prevent some environmental hazards or perhaps have an ameliorative effect on a disease process in mammalian cells. Scientists have found that natural materials are generally more acceptable to consumers, and if these alternative approaches are effective, this may reduce the reliance on more synthetic substances. Natural products can be utilised in the discovery of new antimicrobial drugs and in the treatment of infectious diseases. Moreover, 80% of people depend on these types of treatment in Asian countries such as China and India. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) statistics, up to 80% of the population in some developed countries have used natural products in their primary health care. The increase in their popularity is due to their potent activities and generally very low toxicity. The use of natural products is becoming an ever more popular approach in both medical treatments and the preservation of foods.

Honey is one such product that used to be widely used to combat bacteria. As a result, several ancient methods have been re-evaluated and the substances/procedures employed historically to cure diseases are now attracting renewed scientific attention. This means that new strategies are needed to prevent and treat infectious disease. Despite the developments in controlling infectious disease around the world, they are still the second biggest cause of morbidity and mortality due in part to the increase in drug resistance among large numbers of the bacterial strains.
