Propolis
Return to unconventional methods of treatment, confirmed by many ages of tradition, is the reason for constant interest in propolis in Poland and abroad. Propolis not only cures but also allows maintaining proper condition and fitness.
Bees collect propolis from buds and young shoots and from tree bark (mainly of poplar, birch, chestnut as well as spruce, pine and fir-tree), chew it and mix with the discharge of their glands. Each part and each cell in the beehive are covered with propolis. Bees do not have immune system and it is propolis which keeps the conditions in which the bee family lives sterile.
Propolis, resinous substance used by bees for protecting their hive from infections, cures many diseases from common cold to arthritis; it is really amazing.
Propolis is a very complex substance containing over 3000 various components. The most biologically active group of compounds contained in propolis are indisputably flavonoids, which are said to have many dozen pharmacological properties. Propolis powder is used for treatment of bacterial and fungal skin infections, bedsores, ulcers, surgical wounds. Propolis ointment effectively cures hard to heal wounds, burns, varicose leg ulcers, eczemas, acne. In pharmacies and herb shops one can buy ready made propolis tincture in drops or ampoules for drinking, which is used as remedy for diseases of digestive track, infectious diseases of the respiratory and urinary track, and also in prophylactics of arteriosclerosis.
It is best to take propolis in the morning and at noon before meals; take 20-30 drops of propolis dissolved in a small amount of lukewarm liquid. More comfortable and effective way is to take complex propolis preparation Propolis Plus in tablets and capsules. During the epidemic of flu and colds propolis should be taken as prevention. Many people known to me who are advocates of natural methods of treatment have been using propolis for many years and it not only effectively protects them from diseases but also ensures that they feel well in spite of passing years. Taking Propolis Plus by those suffering from ulcer disease regulates secretive function of the stomach and liver, has an anti-inflammatory effect and prevents the occurrence of ulcers in stomach, duodenum and large intestine also it protects liver cells. Propolis helps in treatment of infectious virus hepatitis, causing formation of new, good cells. Propolis is successfully used in treatment of degenerative disorders of joints and spine, rheumatoid arthritis, relieves pain and oedema.
For treatment of angina, inflammations of oral cavity, thrush and leucoplakia propolis spray or water solution of propolis is used for washing or painting. In these diseases propolis has triple action: activates immune system, has a direct effect on bacteria (streptococci, staphylococci) causing angina, it also supports the action of antibiotics. Finally, propolis in the form of balls successfully cures numerous gynaecological diseases and propolis suppositories are good remedy for haemorrhoids.
There have been numerous experiments and research concerning propolis. They confirmed its antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidating properties. This extraordinary substance produced by bees can give hope to people suffering to Alzheimer disease and their families. Research conducted at present in Alzheimer Treatment Centre in Great Britain proves a positive role of propolis in relieving the symptoms of this fast developing disease.
So let us take advantage of benefits provided by bees as prevention is the best way to healthy life! In each house there should be nutrients and other bees products which are good remedies for many diseases.
