Propolis has long been known to have a natural antibacterial effect. Propolis is a rich source of flavonoids, minerals, vitamins C, E, provitamin A, and B-complex. There is also a selection of amino acids, fats, trace minerals and bioflavonoids. In the congested beehive, propolis and royal jelly employ their antibiotic, antimicrobial, and antibacterial properties to inhibit undesirable bacteria and promote helpful bacteria.
Bees collect resins from the buds of various botanicals. These include poplars, pine and birches. The honeybees chew on the resin, adding their saliva to the substance. This combination is called propolis, and is vitally important to bee survival. It is fundamental in building their hives, protects them against disease, and strengthens the hive walls to shield the honeybees from harsh weather. Propolis is dark brown in color and very sticky at room temperature and warmer. When it cools, propolis becomes brittle. Bee propolis contains many flavonoids, which have healing and antibiotic effects.
Flavonoids facilitate growth and health by doing a number of things such as stimulating hair to grow, blood to circulate, bile to be secreted and urine to be passed. Not only are flavonoids great antibacterial agents, they are also used to treat ulcers, arthritis and flu symptoms. Flavonoids can also be successful at treating more chronic diseases and health problems like stress and joint stiffness.
Propolis has over 100 constituents. It is 30% wax, 10% pollens, and 5% fixed substances. These are elements like grease, amino acid, microelements like zinc and copper, and amino acids. Propolis has a high vitamin content, particularly vitamins B, E and C.
More possible benefits include acne, asthma, bleeding gums, the common cold, rashes, diarrhea, eczema, hay fever, hair loss, any type of inflammation, sore throats, toothaches, ulcers and warts. The amazing thing about propolis is that it has so many healing properties. It is an anti-fungus, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and antibiotic.
