What is the function of propolis?

Question 1: What is the function of propolis? Zijin is a colloidal solid with fragrant smell, which is made by mixing resin (gum) collected by bees from plant spores or tree trunks with secretions of palatal glands and wax glands. The output of propolis is very low. Generally, a group of bees with 30,000-50,000 bees can only collect 1-2 grams of propolis a day, so it is very precious. People call it purple gold or soft gold. The most representative flavonoids are quercetin and rutin. Quercetin has the effects of dilating coronary vessels, reducing blood lipid, lowering blood pressure and preventing platelet aggregation. Has antitussive, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antiviral effects. Rutin has vitamin P-like effect, which can soften capillaries, enhance capillary permeability, lower cholesterol and prevent and treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular sclerosis. Traditional Chinese medicine has eight functions: 1, which regulates the pre-immunity function, obviously enhances the phagocytosis function of monocytes and the humoral regulation function, thus enhancing the disease resistance and self-healing ability of human body; 2. Antibacterial effect, which can inhibit and kill various pathogenic microorganisms, such as Helicobacter pylori, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Proteus, etc. It is a precious natural broad-spectrum antibiotic; 3. Purify blood function. Propolis can obviously regulate hyperlipidemia, high cholesterol and high blood viscosity, prevent and treat atherosclerosis, effectively remove deposits on the inner wall of blood vessels, reduce the probability of thrombosis, protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and improve blood circulation and hematopoietic function; 4. Inhibit cell mutation. Propolis contains flavonoids, polysaccharides, enzymes, terpenes, organic acids and other natural substances, which can inhibit the metabolic activity of cancer cells, enhance the activity of normal cell membranes, decompose fibrin around cells, and prevent normal cells from canceration or cancer cell metastasis. ; 5. Reduce hepatotoxicity. Propolis has broad-spectrum antibacterial effect, which can not only kill hepatitis virus, but also inhibit virus replication in liver cells. Flavonoids and other substances in propolis have a strong protective effect on the liver, while terpenes can reduce transaminase, promote hepatocyte regeneration and prevent cirrhosis; 6. Maintenance of stomach and intestines Clinical practice at home and abroad shows that stomachache gradually disappears after patients with gastritis and gastric ulcer take propolis. After most patients insisted on taking propolis, the ulcer healed and Helicobacter pylori infection turned negative. Most notably, taking propolis will not cause negative effects such as diet loss and flora imbalance; 7. Anti-fatigue propolis can improve the activity of triphosphatase, thus producing more ATP. In the process of metabolism, releasing energy can restore people's physical strength and make people full of energy and vigor; 8. Hypoglycemic propolis contains trypsin and other active enzymes and antiviral components, which has obvious effect on restoring pancreatic function; Flavonoids and terpenoids in propolis can promote the synthesis of glycogen from exogenous glucose and regulate blood sugar in both directions. Applicable people: 1. People with low immunity and easy fatigue. 2. People who are weak, susceptible to infection and have long-lasting inflammation. 3. People with high blood lipids. 4. Early cancer patients.

Question 2: The main function of propolis: Propolis has the functions of antibacterial, beauty beauty and promoting cell regeneration, which determines the important position of propolis in the skin care industry. It can not only eliminate fungal infection, but also decompose pigments, smooth wrinkles, slow down aging, accelerate tissue cell regeneration and wound healing, and also have a good effect on scars left by acne scars and acne. Modern research has proved that propolis contains rich and unique bioactive substances, which makes it have many functions, such as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, antioxidant, enhancing immunity, lowering blood sugar, lowering blood fat and anti-tumor. It has a wide range of medical and health care functions for human body, and has become a hot spot of scientific research in various countries and a new type of health care product. Antibacterial effect. Propolis can sterilize, disinfect, sterilize, inhibit bacteria, prevent mildew and prevent corrosion, which solves the defect that antibiotics only act on a single microorganism and have no side effects. It has a good therapeutic effect on skin diseases in daily life. Antiviral effect. Propolis is a natural antiviral substance, which has a strong inhibitory and killing effect on many viruses. Antioxidant effect. Propolis is called antioxidant and free radical scavenger, which can effectively remove excess active oxygen, free radicals and other wastes caused by obesity, overwork, environmental pollution, smoking and other bad living habits and external factors. Enhance immunity. The human immune system is vulnerable to virus attacks. Propolis can enhance human immunity and enhance human resistance to virus attacks. Anti-cancer effect. A large number of studies at home and abroad show that propolis has a good anti-cancer effect. Promote cell regeneration. Propolis can accelerate tissue regeneration and wound healing. The role of beauty. Propolis can decompose pigments, smooth wrinkles and slow down aging. , is a beauty product for women. Analgesic effect. Propolis also has a good anesthetic and analgesic effect. Prevent tumors. Propolis is rich in anticancer substances. Studies have proved that after taking propolis, cancer patients can shrink cancer cells and reduce the side effects caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Ten, anti-hypertension. Patients with hypertension can continuously take propolis containing a large number of flavonoids and strong antioxidant capacity, which can not only reduce the harm of lipid peroxide to blood vessels and prevent vascular sclerosis, but also effectively reduce the content of triglycerides, reduce platelet aggregation, improve microcirculation, reduce excessive blood pressure and prevent accidents. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people, especially patients with hypertension, heart disease and arteriosclerosis, often take propolis, which is quite beneficial to health and longevity. Broad-spectrum antibacterial effect: Suitable air temperature and the temperature in beehives or tree holes where bees live in groups do not lead to the growth and reproduction of microorganisms. Why is this? Studies have confirmed that propolis plays an important role. Propolis can inhibit the growth of many kinds of bacteria and some viruses, and has broad-spectrum antibacterial effect. The concentration of propolis ethanol extract 100 μ g/ml has inhibitory effect on 25 species of 39 bacteria and 20 species of 39 plant fungi, and is most sensitive to gram-positive bacteria and acid-fast bacteria. 1%- 10% propolis alcohol or ether extract has inhibitory effects on common human fungi, tinea, Trichophyton floccosum, Trichophyton rubrum, Microsporum ferruginosum, Microsporum gypseum, Microsporum woollen, Trichophyton cerebri, Trichophyton gypseum, Trichophyton trichophyton pilosum and Trichophyton purpurea. It has a good killing effect on cucumber mosaic virus, tobacco spot virus, tobacco necrosis virus and influenza A virus. It can inhibit the reproduction of herpes virus and significantly reduce the infection of vaccinia virus; It can kill trichomonas; It can neutralize diphtheria, tetanus toxoid and edema exotoxin. At the same time, combined with some antibiotics, it can improve antibacterial activity and prolong its action. During the period of 1967, the research of Lindenfelser in the United States proved that propolis had inhibitory effect on 25 kinds of bacteria. 1980 China He Tiansheng et al. proved by experiments that propolis has inhibitory effect on 14 strains, including pneumococcus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In 1994, Japanese philosopher also proved that propolis has inhibitory effect on 16 kinds of bacteria, including pneumonia, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhimurium and so on. From 65438 to 0996, China Cheng Wenxian and others proved that propolis had obvious inhibitory effect on the pathogenic bacteria of periodontal disease through experiments (propolis toothpaste was developed later). 2. Anti-tinea effect 1975, China room column and other tests prove that propolis has a strong antibacterial effect on at least 10 kinds of tinea fungi. In the same period, Zhu Fang tried propolis to treat 160 cases of psoriasis. Generally, it takes effect 2-4 weeks after taking propolis. Remarkable curative effect ... >>

Question 3: What are the benefits of propolis? What is its main function? The history of development and utilization of propolis abroad is earlier. Due to the influence of developed countries and regions, propolis was listed as a key scientific research project in China in the ninth five-year plan in the last century and achieved remarkable results. Through the unremitting efforts of many scientific and technological workers at home and abroad, it is proved that propolis contains more than 300 kinds of natural ingredients beneficial to human health. So far, propolis has been identified to contain at least 20 amino acids, 50 aromatic compounds, 6 steroids, 30 flavonoids, dozens of terpenoids, 30 trace elements, enzymes, phenols, esters, polysaccharides and vitamins. Among these substances, it is necessary to focus on flavonoids and terpenoids. Flavonoids play a significant role in resisting diseases and enhancing immunity. For example, many drugs we often take, such as anti-inflammatory, detoxification, lowering blood pressure, treating heart and brain diseases, all contain flavonoids. However, there are more kinds and contents of flavonoids in propolis than any other substances. Up to now, more than 30 kinds of flavonoids have been isolated and identified from propolis, and the highest content can reach 40%. According to the determination, there are more than 20 kinds of terpenoids in propolis, which have obvious anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects and enhance immunity, such as ginseng, astragalus and licorice. Through the analysis of chemical components, physical and chemical properties and biological functions of propolis, we will find that its pharmacological effects are particularly extensive and there are no side effects. A large number of clinical experiments at home and abroad have proved that the medical and health care functions of propolis mainly have the following points: 1. Anti-inflammatory, bactericidal, antibacterial and antitoxic; 2. relieve pain and itching; 3. Reduce blood pressure and blood lipids; 4. Anti-tumor and anti-ulcer; 5. Anti-oxidation; 6. Protect the liver; 7. Strengthen pleura and activate cells; 8. Analgesia and local anesthesia; 9. Promote tissue regeneration. Enhance the body's immune function. These effects have achieved remarkable results in the treatment and prevention of the following diseases: 1. Diabetes; 2. Cardiovascular diseases; 3. Enteritis and gastritis; 4. prostatitis; 5. Hypertension; 6. Cancer. Propolis also has obvious therapeutic and alleviating effects on the following diseases: 1. Various skin diseases (such as psoriasis, wet diagnosis, acne, acne); 2. bronchitis; 3. Ears and rhinitis; 4. Oral ulcer; 5. catching a cold; 6. bad breath; 7. beriberi; 8. Excretion; 9. Female cervical diseases and * * * diseases. It should be noted that the diseases that bees treat, prevent and alleviate are far more than these. Here are just some common diseases. With the continuous progress and deepening of research, we will know more about propolis. At the same time, taking propolis also has side effects. Forty healthy Kunming mice (18 ~ 22g) were randomly divided into 4 groups, 5 males and 5 females in each group, and further divided into 4 dose groups (1000, 2 150, 4640 and 10000 mg/kg) (human dose) Mice were given 0. 1 mg/10 g once by oral gavage, and observed for 14 days, and the poisoning and death of mice were recorded. Results: During the experiment, all mice were normal in appearance and behavior, with granular stools, close-fitting hair and weight gain, and no poisoning or death occurred. It shows that propolis extract has no toxic substances. 0.4 ml of 0.3 g/ml propolis solution (for adults) was diluted with water at the ratio of 1: 2 and then fed to male and female rabbits weighing 1.5 ~ 2.0 kg three times a day for three months. The general situation, growth, coagulation time, peripheral blood routine, white blood cell classification and blood biochemical indexes (GPT, aspartate aminotransferase, urea nitrogen, creatinine, total protein, albumin, total cholesterol, creatinine, BIL) of rabbits were detected and recorded. At the end of the experiment, the rabbits were bled to death, and the heart, lung, liver, kidney, spleen, stomach and intestine were dissected and observed. Results No abnormal pathological changes were found. It shows that propolis is safe, non-toxic and safe for long-term use. Fifty healthy Kunming mice (25-30g) were randomly divided into five groups, with 5 males and 5 females in each group. Three dosage groups were set up: 2500, 5000, 1 0000 mg/kg, and1negative and positive control groups (cyclophosphamide 50 mg/kg). Prepare propolis extract with distilled water to the required concentration, give it to the subjects for 30 hours, and give it to the subjects for 6 hours for the second time. Kill the animals by breaking their necks, take sternum bone marrow smear, fix it and dye it. & gt

Question 4: What is the use of external propolis? Natural skin care and beauty function of propolis is a natural beauty substance, which can be eaten or used externally. Eating propolis can comprehensively regulate organ function, repair pathological damage of organs and tissues, eliminate inflammation, promote tissue regeneration, regulate endocrine, improve blood circulation, and promote blood circulation of subcutaneous tissues, so as to prevent and treat skin lesions, decompose pigmentation, reduce wrinkles, eliminate acne, acne, dermatitis and eczema, and create beauty from the body on the basis of comprehensively improving physical fitness. Because the skin tissue has recovered its physiological balance and vitality, it makes the skin look natural, beautiful, delicate, smooth and elastic. Propolis for external use has the functions of nourishing and moistening skin, preventing freezing, preventing cracking, sterilizing, diminishing inflammation, relieving itching, relieving pain, stopping bleeding, resisting infection and promoting tissue regeneration. 1. The consumption of propolis. Generally, the propolis collected from beehives can't be eaten directly, and the edible propolis is all propolis products. It is unsafe to eat raw propolis directly or soak it in white wine. Although it has certain effects, it has potential negative effects. Edible propolis should be produced by regular manufacturers and have the batch number of the Ministry of Health. Due to the different dosage forms, contents and additives, the administration method and dosage of each product are different, so the usage of propolis can be taken according to the instructions or under the guidance of a doctor. The use of propolis should be based on the content of propolis in the product or extract. If it is a propolis capsule, under normal circumstances, take 3-6 capsules a day. If it is used to treat diseases (especially some intractable diseases), the dosage can be appropriately increased, and 6-9 capsules can be taken a day. Propolis capsules are common in the use of propolis and are the mainstream products. If it is propolis solution, 3 ~ 5 drops can be used for health care, twice a day, and 6 ~ 10 drops can be used for health care. If it is used to treat diseases (especially some intractable diseases), the dosage can be appropriately increased, with a daily dosage of 15 ~ 20 drops, and in severe cases, with a maximum dosage of 30 drops (about 1.5 ~ 2 ml). Although the purified propolis solution has no toxic and side effects, excessive consumption will have a * * effect on some people, and some will lead to diarrhea. Some people may be allergic to propolis. Therefore, people with allergies should use it with caution. At first, they can try a small amount, and then increase the dose appropriately after no adverse reactions. If an individual has allergies during use (oral or external use), he should stop using them immediately, and the general allergies will disappear immediately. Babies under one year old have poor adaptability, so try not to use propolis. /kloc-When children under 0/0 use propolis, the dosage can be half that of adults. There are no strict rules about when to eat propolis. Under normal circumstances, it is better to take propolis on an empty stomach in the morning and evening. Diabetic patients should take it half an hour before meals. 2. Propolis external use: Propolis ointment is usually used for external use to treat skin diseases. Propolis can be dipped with a cotton swab and applied to the affected area; Propolis cream can be directly applied to the affected area or on gauze. This product is relatively rare in the use of propolis. 3. The application of propolis in beauty industry. The development and use of propolis as a beauty agent is not long. He is a rising star among beauty agents, but he tends to catch up with others. The methods of beautifying with propolis can be summarized as follows: a. Propolis mask: Propolis extract can be mixed with other bee products such as royal jelly or bee pollen to make slurry, and then evenly applied to the face to make a mask. This method can nourish and moisturize skin, improve facial blood circulation, make skin ruddy and shiny, and at the same time, it can converge loose skin, reduce wrinkles and increase skin elasticity. This product is relatively rare in the use of propolis. B. propolis detergent: propolis is made into standard solution for various washing purposes. It can be used for washing face, bathing and shampooing. Generally, a certain amount of propolis standard solution is added to warm water to make 0.2% ~ 0.3% propolis aqueous solution. Washing face and bathing with this propolis aqueous solution is helpful for sterilization, anti-inflammatory and itching relief, elimination of skin metabolites, promotion of blood circulation, and maintenance of skin vitality. Shampooing with this propolis aqueous solution can form an extremely thin transparent protective film on the hair surface, making the hair black and shiny. In addition, it has the functions of sterilization, relieving itching, nourishing hair, stimulating hair follicle vitality and inhibiting dandruff. This product is relatively rare in the use of propolis. C. making propolis cosmetics: adding propolis as a raw material to cosmetics has both cosmetic and health care or therapeutic effects. Such as the production of propolis skin cream, propolis toilet water, propolis sunscreen water, propolis beauty freckle cream, propolis shampoo and so on. In addition, it also >>

Question 5: What is the function of propolis solution? Propolis is a beauty product, which can be taken orally or used externally. Taking propolis can not only eliminate toxins, purify blood, improve microcirculation, but also prevent lipid peroxidation, reduce pigment deposition and make toxins, acne and brown spots disappear unconsciously. When you have acne on your face, you can apply it directly, or you can add propolis liquid to your daily cosmetics to prevent acne from being festered by bacterial infection. After a few days, the acne will converge. It must be noted that propolis must be diluted when it is used directly for external use. At present, there are two kinds of propolis products circulating in the market. One is water-soluble propolis; The other is alcohol, called alcohol-soluble or alcohol-soluble propolis. It should be pointed out that if propolis is to be completely dissolved in alcohol, the alcohol concentration needs to be above 75%. According to the relevant regulations of the Ministry of Health, the alcohol content in food and health food should not exceed 38%. When using alcohol as solvent, you must use medicine or edible alcohol, not industrial alcohol, which contains methanol harmful to human body. The difference between the two propolis solutions is the comparison between water and alcohol. When your skin is broken, propolis alcohol solution is better than water solution, because alcohol also has antibacterial effect. If it is taken orally, water-soluble propolis is better than alcohol-soluble propolis: (1) alcohol is easy to make people allergic. (2) Alcohol is * * *, and patients with gastroenteritis should not be affected by alcohol * * *; (3) The liver detoxification function of hepatitis patients is poor, and even a small amount of drinking is not conducive to detoxification. That is to say, propolis liquid actually puts propolis in a carrier such as water or alcohol ~ The efficacy of propolis liquid is as follows: (1) Propolis is the gospel of patients with gastrointestinal diseases (1). Clinical practice at home and abroad shows that the stomachache of patients with gastritis and gastric ulcer gradually disappears after taking propolis, and the ulcer heals after most patients insist on taking propolis, and the infection of Helicobacter pylori turns negative. Most notably, taking propolis will not cause negative effects such as loss of appetite and flora imbalance. (2) According to Russian scholars' research reports, when propolis liquid enters the blocked intestine, it will directly act on the nerves that dominate the intestine, which can enhance the contractility of the intestine and make the bowel defecate smoothly. (2) Propolis solution is the natural enemy of psoriasis, which is a stubborn and intractable skin disease, and its cause has not been ascertained. However, the epidermis and dermis in the tight area of psoriasis patients have isomorphic and isomeric changes, and there are obvious obstacles in microcirculation. Propolis is a good microcirculation improver, which can alleviate these symptoms. (3) Propolis solution plays an important role in treating oral ulcer and periodontitis. Applying propolis solution directly to the ulcer can not only relieve pain quickly, but also form a thin propolis film immediately, which is not easy to be washed away by saliva, and has the functions of relieving pain, diminishing inflammation and sterilizing. Oral ulcers and periodontitis can be cured. (People who are allergic to alcohol should use it with caution) (4) Propolis liquid to prevent colds, add 20 drops of propolis liquid while taking Radix Isatidis, and then take it with warm water, which can obviously relieve the symptoms of headache and dizziness. Propolis spray can kill bacteria in the mouth for cold patients with persistent cough. Relieve cough symptoms. Taking propolis can reduce the incidence of colds. (5) Propolis is also a good helper for skin care (1). Because the skin is closely related to visceral function, skin microcirculation disorder, malnutrition, toxins in the body, constipation and so on. It will be sensitively reflected on the skin, making the skin rough, with brown spots, acne and old face. Taking Wang Propolis can not only eliminate toxins, purify blood, improve microcirculation, but also prevent lipids.

Question 6: What is propolis? What's the role? Is there any harm? The most appropriate answer: null answer 1: Propolis is a fragrant colloidal substance, which is made by bees collecting resin from tree trunks and mixing it with mandibular gland secretions and beeswax. It is an enzyme inhibitor with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, anesthetic and tissue regeneration functions, and also has a very strong inhibitory effect on plant pathogens and fungal viruses. In recent years, medical research has pointed out that propolis can reduce infection, so it is quite effective in preventing wound infection and accelerating wound healing. However, it is worth noting that there is no exact research to confirm the baby's reaction to propolis at the age of zero, so it is best to wait until the baby 1 year. Propolis (Feng Jiao) is a gelatinous substance collected by bees from tree buds, bark and other parts of plants, and then mixed with the secretions of bee tongue glands, wax glands and other glands, which are processed and transformed by bees. Bees apply these substances to the surface of the whole hive; On the one hand, it plays the role of anti-corrosion and anti-oxidation, on the other hand, it bonds the hive and blocks the gap, so that many germs cannot reproduce in the hive. Propolis (Feng Jiao) is an extremely rare natural resource, which is called Zijin. What's even more peculiar is that while propolis suits the right medicine, other ingredients will not harm the human body, but can play a comprehensive role in regulating and balancing the immune function of the body, which is why many consumers often have unexpected surprises when taking propolis. The main components of propolis have been confirmed by modern chemical analysis. Propolis contains the essence of animals and plants, and has complex and unique chemical components. There are more than 300 kinds of nutrients in 20 categories, of which more than 70 kinds of flavonoids have been identified. Flavonoids are one of the essential nutrients for human body, which cannot be synthesized in vivo, but they are of great significance for regulating physiological functions and improving the quality of life and exercise. It can regulate vascular function, lower blood pressure, improve blood circulation, not only strengthen the body, but also cure diseases. It is an ideal health care treasure for treating diseases in modern society. Propolis is like a "small drug storehouse", and its biggest feature is that it is rich in flavonoids and terpenoids. Medical scientists say that propolis is a kind of "medicine and food homologous" substance, which has obvious physiological and pharmacological effects and can dispel diseases and strengthen the body. The magical effect of propolis According to the Chinese Materia Medica edited and published by the Ministry of Health, propolis has a very good auxiliary treatment effect on diseases caused by diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, tumors, polyps, various inflammations and bacteria. 1. Propolis is a precious natural broad-spectrum antibiotic. Propolis contains rich and unique flavonoids and terpenoids, which have obvious inhibitory and killing effects on a variety of bacteria, fungi and viruses. Can be used for treating beriberi, onychomycosis, eczema, various ulcers, periodontitis, laryngitis, rhinitis, gastritis, urinary system infection, common cold, hemorrhoid, diarrhea and other diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms. Small dosage, quick response, no drug resistance and no destruction of beneficial bacteria. 2. Propolis is a precious immune enhancer. Can enhance immune function, significantly enhance the body's disease resistance, and has a good effect on preventing colds, cancer, aging, and eliminating senile plaques and pigmentation. 3. Propolis has obvious lipid-lowering and hypoglycemic effects. Propolis has antibacterial, detoxicating and immune enhancing effects, and has good preventive and therapeutic effects on various complications caused by diabetes. Long-term clinical research shows that taking propolis is of great significance to the health and longevity of diabetic patients. It has obvious effects on hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes. It is an essential medicine for diabetics. 4. Propolis has obvious anti-corrosion and anti-oxidation effects. Taking propolis for a long time can not only activate cells and eliminate stains, but also strengthen the body and rejuvenate. 5. Propolis can promote tissue regeneration. It can quickly stop bleeding and accelerate wound healing. It has obvious therapeutic effect on burns, scalds and wounds. 6. Propolis also has anti-tumor effect. Several natural substances (PRCA) that can directly inhibit and kill cancer cells were isolated from propolis, which made propolis have very good preventive and therapeutic effects on tumors and polyps. Studies by the Japanese Cancer Society and Yuchuan University have found that continuous use of propolis for 3 months to 1 year can inactivate various cancer cells. Scientific research shows that propolis can directly inhibit and kill cancer cells, and has a very good preventive and therapeutic effect on tumors and polyps. 7. Prevention and treatment of vascular diseases. Propolis is rich in flavonoids, which has good effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, softening blood vessels, reducing blood lipid, preventing platelet aggregation and improving microcirculation. & gt

Question 7: What is the function of propolis? How many capsules is the best to take a day? According to Chinese Herbal Medicine, propolis is bitter, pungent and cold. Spleen and stomach meridian. The efficacy is mainly used for oral administration to tonify deficiency, eliminate turbidity and eliminate fat, and quench thirst; Detoxification and detumescence for external use. Oral administration is used for physical weakness, premature aging, hyperlipidemia and thirst quenching; External treatment is used for chapped skin, burns and scalds. (China Pharmacopoeia 20 10 Edition) The main nutritional components are flavonoids, amino acids, vitamins and organic acids. Beeswax contained in propolis has the beauty function of wrinkle removal and skin care.

In general, based on the content of 25% propolis tincture, 3-5 drops can be used for health care, twice a day, and 6- 10 drops can achieve the purpose of health care. If it is used to treat diseases (especially some intractable diseases), the dosage can be appropriately increased, with a daily dosage of 15-20 drops, and in severe cases, it can be appropriately increased to a maximum of 30 drops (about 1.5-2 ml).

Question 8: What are the advantages and disadvantages of eating propolis? Who can't eat propolis? What are the side effects?

1 Use with caution for people with severe allergies.

Although propolis is a natural health food, there are very few people who are allergic to it because of personality differences. When allergic reactions occur, the skin will generally turn red and itchy. About three-tenths of patients will have different degrees of allergic reaction when using propolis solution. For external use, drop a drop on the affected area every day for allergic reaction.

2 pregnant women are forbidden drugs (pregnancy and lactation)

The active ingredients in propolis may affect the normal development of the baby's immune system. Pregnant women eating propolis will interfere with the normal growth and development of the fetus. Relevant experts have confirmed that propolis can cause uterine contraction, which is not good for fetal development.

It is not recommended to give propolis to children under 12 years old, even if it is really necessary to take a very small amount.

Infants under one year old should not take it, and their skin is delicate. When propolis is used externally to treat skin diseases, it should also be diluted before use.

At present, there is no relevant data to prove that it is safe and effective for children under 12 years old. Therefore, it is generally not recommended to take it. But there are clinical examples of propolis used to treat children's diseases, and there are no side effects, such as pharyngitis.

What are the precautions for eating propolis?

Propolis and other western medicines can be taken at intervals of half an hour before and after meals. Propolis can be safely taken with traditional Chinese medicine, which can help traditional Chinese medicine play a better therapeutic role.

If the affected part has slight itching, rash and swelling, you can take desensitizing drugs such as diphenhydramine, and the allergic phenomenon will disappear.

For healthy people, taking it 2-3 times a day can increase the body's resistance to diseases. After taking propolis for one month, the average healthy person may have the following reactions: fatigue, increased defecation, dark complexion and red spots on his face. Experts believe that these are all good reactions and you can continue to take them with confidence.
