Do you know the efficacy of propolis?

Propolis is a natural antibiotic and a honeycomb made of wood resin made by honeybees, which are made by adding honeybee secretions to sap and pollen collected from various trees for breeding and survival. The taste can be thought of as a strong taste and smell because it has both sweet and bitter taste and tingling irritation.

Organic matter and minerals are the most necessary substances to maintain the sterile state of the honeycomb, and there are 104 other ingredients such as minerals, vitamins, amino acids, fats, organic acids, and flavonoids.

Antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory effects

Propolis contains flavonoids, which activate SOD enzymes that inhibit harmful active oxygen in the human body, so they have excellent antioxidant effects. In the book "Animal Weapon" written by Aristotle, propolis is recorded as suitable for skin diseases and wound diseases caused by infection.

The reason why the queen bee disinfects harmful bacteria with propolis in the beehive before spawning, and then hatches them safely to create an environment for larvae to grow healthy is that it has excellent antibacterial action. When bruising or trauma occurs, it prevents bacteria from entering the body, so it helps to infect from the outside and has excellent ability to regenerate, helping the wound heal quickly. It also has anti-inflammatory effects on inflammatory diseases such as gastritis, bronchitis, and rhinitis, which is good for quickly relieving and recovering from inflammation.
 

Strengthen immunity to prevent cancer

The cause of cancer is usually caused by accumulated free radicals in the body or when immunity is weakened. The flavonoid components contained in propolis promote interferon production and combine with numerous other components to activate metabolism and boost autoimmune, making cells healthy.

During a study on the efficacy of propolis at the Japanese Cancer Society, the results of administering propolis-mixed feed to mice with breast cancer were announced that breast cancer was suppressed by 30%. This is because propolis acts to increase the number of white blood cells or return to the normal range while the white blood cells in the body are reduced due to the administration of anticancer drugs.

It protects the heart and liver, which is also effective for diabetes

Propolis is rich in routine ingredients, which are also effective in heart-related diseases and diabetes. It has excellent cardiac function and has the effect of reinforcing heart cells and controlling blood sugar.

It has excellent liver protection effects containing four Di-Ocaffecyl Quinic acid-related substances in propolis extract, lowers GPT levels and protects damaged liver. Flavonoids, a functional component of propolis, contain vitamin P in the central element, so they expand and strengthen capillaries, which is effective for cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure.

How to take it and what are the side effects?

Among the methods of taking propolis, it is recommended to start with 5 drops for adults, 3 drops for children aged 5 to 12, and 1 to 2 drops for infants aged 1 to 4. It is also good to put it in lukewarm water, milk, juice, or yogurt, or add honey together. If propolis is refined, you can take it twice a day after breakfast and dinner.

Since propolis is mixed with potted plants, people with pollen allergies should take an allergy test before taking it, and pregnant women should take it after consulting with their doctor. Other symptoms can cause boils, itching, headaches, and mild fever after three to seven days, and if your stomach or body part is inflamed, your stomach may hurt and you may have diarrhea, so you should stop if your symptoms worsen
